The only real chance of blocking Obamacare is for Congress to pass a continuing resolution that deprives it of money, even though a government shutdown would be the likely result.

But that appears to be a step too far for some Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

“Listen, our goal here is not to shut down the government,” Boehner told reporters on Tuesday. “Our goal is to cut spending and to stop Obamacare. And I believe that the strategy that was outlined to members this morning accomplishes that.”

Press reports say the Republican strategy calls for the House to pass a continuing resolution that funds Obamacare, as well as a separate measure that would amend the CR to defund Obamacare.

there should be a one day annual and public event to line up ALL of the DC politicians where the people can call in to select those who they deem to need punishing for outright lying and screwing over the people and those selected politicians would then receive a public beating for betraying their oath and the people.

Boehuner is just as bad as odumbo. He has been working with the demodummies for some time and does not represent conservatives. He needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY.
