They funded it because it hasnt been repealed. Its not theirs, they dont own it.
The GOP House holds the purse strings. They JUST FUNDED 0Care. They DO own it, now....and EVERY Dim will broadcast this fact, at every opportunity.
Do you honestly think the Pubbies will be out front and center, 24/7, convincing the American people that they "funded 0Care, because it hasn't been repealed, but...it's NOT ours"? Even if Boehner cries while saying this, NO ONE will believe him.
The only chance at repeal is not losing the last little bit in Congress and not regaining the Senate. But there are plenty of bashers, and they’re not around to help retake the Congress — nope, they’ll profess their intent to vote “third party”. That’s what astroturf does.
I agree.
And, I invented Boehner’s new campaign slogan:
“We can only repeal ObamaCare if we fund it first.”
