"....So far, 127 House Republican members have signed a letter urging the GOP House leadership --Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)--to use the appropriations process to defund Obamacare...."

Screwed again, and again, and again.

[Da Coyote]

Boehner the ball-less.

No more needs to be said.

Let’s start a campaign to ditch this worthless piece of Obamastuff.

And just wait if Romney wins the Presidency and the Republicans take the Senate and hold the House, then the excuse will be...

"Well..... Obamacare is pretty deeply entrenched now, it would cost more to repeal than to just put it on cruise control, we're not really interested in wasting our political capital fighting past battles anyway, instead of a repeal, we think we can makes some changes around the edges to make it more palatable to conservatives, maybe tinker with the individual mandate because folks don't really like that. But there really is some good stuff in there too, no need throwing the baby out with the bathwater..."

Make no mistake, there are as many Republicans that like big government as there are democrats. The only difference is who's supporters the money get funneled toward.

House Speaker John Boehner responded that "our goal would be to make sure the government is funded," thus indicating that House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30.

Boehner has got to go!

[dfwgator]

The House Republicans have just been putting on a show, deep down they want this as bad as the Democrats, they crave power just like they do.

If I were a lib, I’d be laughing too.

RE :”When asked whether the House Republicans would permit or not permit funding for Obamacare in whatever legislation is enacted to fund the government after Sept. 30—when the current funding legislation runs out—House Speaker John Boehner responded that “our goal would be to make sure the government is funded,” thus indicating that House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30”

Very simple solution.

They should pass a CR that expires at the end of January. It is no surprise that Boehner does not want another confrontation on the budget. If the next congress wants they can restore funding cut by the automatic budget cuts before they take effect, or pass new cuts.

I still think it was bad that the last lame duck congress Reid/Pelosi was able to extend the Bush tax cuts January 2010 when Republicans were in the weakest position. Now they dont know how to stop extending the FICA tax cuts, or alternatively cut spending.

Our republican leadership are ALL in bed with the New World Order socialists, just look at GWB......

Those who did not see this coming were lying to themselves. We all want Obama gone, and that is why the RNC forced romney on us. They reasoned that everyone is so scared of Obama, they will vote for anyone, including a liberal. It was the election they were waiting for-get rid of conservatives. Many bought into the belief that only romney can win. If a conservative had won the primary, he/she would be kicking Obama’s butt, but romney and obama are social ideology twins. So, conservatism is no longer our goal, but obeying the rnc so they can play the game. Why not, there is no conservative to vote for. Voting third party would be like fighting in the American Revolution, but without all the blood. Not many are brave enough to fight in that battle. They’d rather drink the tea than throw it in the harbor. Where have all the brave people gone who will defend the constitution rather than the rnc? I know there are many here at FR who play chess. They can see what is coming down the line with either romney are obama.

every time obozo, Harry Reid or Nancy Palosi passes gas, the RINOs in the House and Senate (especially Boehner & McConnell) get bad breath.

[skinkinthegrass]

"Speaker Boehner.. Screwed (US / the American public) again, and again, and again."*gracious put*...it's long past due; primary/vote these b@$t@rd($) out quickly..EX-Speaker Boehner (OH. Wash. DC Establishment)
& take [my Senator] Mitch "Get/Go Along" McConnell (KY. Wash. DC Establishment) too.

Raise your hand if you really thought they would try to defund Obamacare. Yeh.

[MachIV]

Just more proof that what I’ve repeatedly said for some time........the ballot box has become a worthless lost cause.

[wastedyears]

Am I the only one that expected this?

[xzins]

House Republicans do plan to fund implementation of Obamacare past Sept. 30.

THIS is your republican party....should I say, republocrat party.

The country seriously needs a 2 party system.

Vote Constitution Party, 2012...ESPECIALLY in Solid Blue Obama States.

If the ABO logic is this: "I must hold my nose and vote for Romney because he is the only one who can defeat Obama", then that logic does NOT hold in a blue state like California or New York or Oregon, etc. ROMNEY has no chance there and in those places, so you don't have to HOLD YOUR NOSE. You can vote for a conservative in the presidential race, and it won't matter at all to the outcome in your state.

It WILL, however, send a message to the GOP-E, that conservatives are tired of liberal candidates.

If Boehner really wants to do this, can’t we have a new Speaker next year?
