I really hope someone with more backbone challenges this feckless speaker:
ABC NEWS – Asked whether he will make another attempt to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act, Boehner said “the election changes that” and “Obamacare is the law of the land.”

John the Bonehead does not have to be speaker. Nobody in the House has to be speaker.
Get your reps to nominate Newt for speaker. Just remember..the speaker is third in line...
Not unexpected, but still makes me want to express myself in terms unsuitable for this forum. Mother puss-bucket, to borrow from Bill Murray.
How does this jibe with Equal Protection?
There once was a time when slavery was the law of the land. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth fighting against.
I guess he forgets that, under the Constitution (I know, Boehner doesn’t follow the Constitution, either) Congress doesn’t have the power to mandate health care on any one. There’s also IPAB and the fact that revenue measures for 0Care originated in the Senate, not The House.
WRONG! He can cut off the funding. He can do that by SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERMNEMT until O’Bumbler acquiesces to his will. That is called solid negotiating and use of power.
I take it you failed civics and/or Government? It takes both Houses AND the POTUS to do such.
Do you see Obama and Harry Reid jumping on board to your proposal?
Elections have consequences. Obamacare is here to stay until you get the Democrats out in the Senate and the White House.
If Paul Ryan is not elected speaker, I’m done with them.
Most people don’t realize just how bad Obamacare will be.
What do you expect him to do? It is the law of the land. The House has voted to repeal it already and that bill just dies in the Senate. A bill to reveal will never even hit the President’s desk. Votes to defund will never pass the Senate.
Seriously, we just lost an election. Given a chance to vote in a Republican Senate and Republican President to repeal Obamacare, the public did just the opposite. They re-elected Obummer and elected more Democrats in the Senate. Infact, we lost more seats in the House than it originally looked like too.
There is no public will to re-fight this. When the public has just made it clear they aren’t with the GOP on an issue, why would you expect Republicans to start down this road again?
Damn right. My attitude is... my family's taken care of... so to hell with them. Shove this sh*t into American voters' faces every flippin' time they turn around. They wanted this crap sandwich, they can eat it.. every single g*d damned day. Remind those cretins....
True but the House could Adjourn until the Senate Takes up the Budget they Submitted and FORCE THE ISSUE, The House can do Absolutely Nothing if they Want, They can shut down ALL OF GOVERNMENT anytime by Refusing to Bring Anything to the Floor, the House Has ALL the POWER but none of the balls.
correction: so to hell with THE REST OF them
Never happen. More than 51% of the country said, "to hell with freedom. I want pie. Gimme."
Well...they wanted it anyway, didn't they?
Won’t matter...if you don’t provide the money to distribute in the first place, he can pound sand.
What good is the power of the purse if you will not use it?
But then, i am just a BITTER clinger...and a sore loser.
BULLSH*T!!!
The GOP holds the purse strings. They can defund it if they want....but NOOOOOOO, the GOP won’t do it because they’re SOOOOO sensitive and tolerant....with MY freedom and MY money.
I HATE THESE BASTARDS! They deserved to lose.
I’d love to shove that little, white board up Rove’s flabby a$$.
Good-bye GOP!
Sure, but to what end? The public wants it! They said so Tuesday.
