Boehner concedes ACA repeal ‘isn’t the answer’
MSNBC ^ | 04/25/14 08:43 AM | Steve Benen

Three weeks ago, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) responded with a simple message to the news that Affordable Care Act enrollment had exceeded expectations: “House Republicans will continue to work to repeal this law.”

Three weeks later, it appears even Boehner doesn’t believe Boehner’s bluster. […]

… Boehner specifically told his audience, “(To) repeal Obamacare … isn’t the answer. The answer is repeal and replace. The challenge is that Obamacare is the law of the land. It is there and it has driven all types of changes in our health care delivery system. You can’t recreate an insurance market overnight.” …

Only discovering this now, MSDNC? But you have to keep up the pretense that Boehner is one of those “right-wingers”. He’s one of yours.

Hasn’t the mantra always been “repeal and replace”?

Boehner is one of the rare cases where if he does prevail in the primary, it would be worth voting for the dem just to unseat him. The damage he does as speaker FAR outweighs the damage done by a freshman dem rep.

Yep. He’s only interested in how to use this law to extort money into GOP coffers as exposed to Democrat ones.

Undeniable Fact 1:
The G(ive).O(bama).P(ower) party IMPOSED RomneyCARE
and LOVES ObamaCARE because ... they are EXEMPT.

Undeniable Fact 2:
The miserable GOP installed polygamy and DeathCARE
on America, and prevented anyone checking on the
documentation of the undocumented Tyrant, and
then through Issa DID NOTHING even after Fast&Furious,
leading to both the NSA and IRS Atrocities.

Apparently getting rid of Boehner is the answer.

Crap, they are not even hiding any more that they have been playing “good cop, bad cop” with us for decades.

Last I read, Doormat Republican Boehner was “Hellbent” on ramming through the House Obama’s Amnestry Bill for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico.

Doormat Boehner knows that Obama can’t get this done without Boehner’s help, as the already passed Democrat Senate Amnesty Bill for Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico will die this Session of Congress unless Boehner comes to the rescue of Democrat Feudal Lord Reid, and Democrat Tyrant Obama.

Boehner also knows that unless Obama’s Opinion Poll ratings go up, Republicans will win in a Landslide, but Boehner will have the unwanted problem of a new class of Patriotic Freshmen House members that are from the dreaded TEA Party.

Hence, Boehner must do all he can to not allow the Democrats to lose by the predicted Landslide margin of defeat in the Mid Term Election of 2014.

Obama knows that the only on-paper accomplishment for him is his convincingly failed Obamacare Socialized Health Insurance Tax, commonly known as OSHIT.

Obama needs the House to pass an Amnesty Bill to demonstrate that he is worthy of a higher poll rating.

Thus, passage of a House Amnesty Bill for the Illegal Alien Invaders from Mexico, and their offspring, will help both Boehner and Obama continue on their mutually beneficial, joint venture of “Fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

In the four years that Doormat Boehner has protected Obama from all of the many violations of the US Constitution, the many, Many, MANY Derelictions of Duty and scandals, there has never been as loyal a permissive Speaker to a corrupt Administration than permissive, Doormat Boehner has been to the entire corrupt, tyrannical Obama Administration.

History will not be kind to Doormat Republican Boehner or his supporters in the House Republican Leadership including Cantor, McCarthy, and Ryan.

Always one to boast with a TV speech on how “sad” he is at the illegality of the rogue Obama Administration and Democrat Reid Senate, Doormat Boehner has always shied away from during the honorable thing by choosing to never enforce the US House Laws of the United States of America.

The limit to Doormat Boehner’s tolerance for obvious Federal corruption has yet to be reached.

Speaker (?) Johnny Boehner has become the Poster Boy for everything that is rotten in the once formerly GREAT Republican Party.

Using the old “Birds of a Feather” indicator, it is small wonder then that the Republican National Committee and their donors so enthusiastically approve of the “Doormat to Democrats” tactics of Mr. Doormat himself, House Speaker Johnny “The Sobber” Boehner!

Doormat Boehner knows that Obama will reward him for the loyal protection that Boehner has constantly provided for Obama for over four very long years.

Money is NOT something needed by Multimillionaire Boehner, but perhaps Boehner would accept an Obama appointment to be the United States Ambassador to Libya?

Out! Bawling over nothing, drinking heavily and smoking heavily are the only activities of note for this man. Where the Republicans found this totally undistinguished man for a “leader” is beyond me. Worse even than Bob Michel or Gerry Ford ever were.

These conniving politicians don’t even play good pol bad pol anymore. They are so confident in their lock on power that they’ve dropped the masks.

History will not be kind, and neither will their future be, especially when God sorts it out.

If Boner and the GOP Establishment were controlled by the same men that control Obama and the Democrats would they act any different than they do now?

We’ve got to start contacting our Republican congresspeople and tell them not to vote Boehner for Speaker next time (and not Cantor either).

There are a number of fine CONSERVATIVE congresspeople who they should vote for.
