Another Republican Rep. comes out in favor of clean spending bill.

You're running out of excuses Boehner.

SEATTLE -- U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert said he would vote for a no-strings attached spending bill to end the federal government shutdown.

The Auburn Republican made that declaration during an interview with KIRO radio (97.3 FM) on Saturday.

When asked specifically if he would vote in support a so-called "clean resolution" if it were brought to the House floor, Reichert responded "Yes."

Reichert has avoided explicit talk in the days before and since the federal government shutdown began last week.

Every embattled Republican in the House is going to say they'd vote for a clean bill if it gets brought to the floor, but since Eric Cantor is apparently the only one able to bring a bill to the floor, they can claim their hands are tied too.

Reichert, who is my Rep, will continue to point to statements like this to illustrate that he is really a moderate. Pay no attention to his actual voting record which is lockstep with the teatards 99% of the time.
