Here are the results of our Will They, or Wont They? Poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are often accurate.
And here are your comments.

I think some will try, but I hope there will be enough concerned about keeping their jobs to stop it.

Teddie and his sock puppets will try but the ones who have not yet drank the tea will stop them.

Sadly some will try I believe…

I hope they do try. The closer to the mid-term they try, the better our short-attention-span voters will remember it.

Some will try but will not succeed. Rand Paul is the same as is Father(just keeps talking air) Rubio needs another glass of water. Ted Cruz is not even a US citizen
so he do anything. He has nothing to lose but himself.

I said Yes because they Never Learn!:(

Agree Yvonne! It didn't work in the 90's; it didn't work in 2011; and it didn't work in 2013, the outcome for them being even worse.

Some will try. Cruz, Paul, and Rubio in particular want to make names for themselves in anticipation of the 2016 Presidential race. They will probably all pull some stunt to try to default on the National Debt in February.

I vacillated between 'yes' and 'some will try' finally settling on 'yes'. Reasons:
1) Teabaggers are alive and well still living in the Congress;
2) Republican/Teabaggers have tried to repeal Obamacare 42 times proving that they are as persistent as mold blight;
3) I think some Republican/Teabaggers think they won this past little set to.
I can also say that I don't think the Republican/Teabaggers will negotiate in good faith. They are ideologues that can only see their own view. They care nothing for the national interests.
I voted Some will try. The regulars like Batshit and Go-G0 Goose-step will be calling for it, but their last seditious fiasco, clobbered the Republican brand to a major extent. I don’t think the leadership will be so willing to follow the crazies over the same cliff so soon. Only time will tell, of course.
There is a new poll, so please vote.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thanks TC – I'm rather afraid that they have all been drinking too much of the TP Kool-aid and it may affect their brains – what am I saying? It affected their brains years ago – the only question is can any of them recover?
Brains? Where?
Nevertheless i hope the poll is accurate and they make a fuss but don't actually go through with it.
So do I, Pat!
Mamabear makes an excellent point. I voted yes, and hope with her that it helps us.
Jo, the question addressed what we thik will happen, not what we hope will happen.
That another crisis will help Dems is the silver lining of the dark cloud. As much as I want to see Dems helpes, I don't want to see another $24 billion of suffering perpetrated against the American people.
What is ENDA?
Employment Non-Discriminbation Act. It outlaws employment discrimination against LGBT people.
I hope they don't succeed again, they did enough damage the last time.
Edie, I agree.
As I said in the Open Thread, I think that the Washington weenies will try to repeat the last fiasco in early 2014, but I really hope they will not. I certainly do not share Harry Reid's confidence. There is no doubt that this last fiasco hurt the Republicanus/Teabaggers significantly, but I have no confidence in their ability to learn from their mistakes. They are too accustomed to drinking the insaniTea and as a result have addled their brains.
I think Leg Hound Harry was just being collegial.
