Bone-us is doing this to give democrats cover for the elections in 2014, this way voters will not feel any pain before the election as the result of Obamacare.

BINGO. My thoughts exactly. They are no different. I am personally done with the Republican party.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

-— This is why McCain and the RINOS are pissed off. Cruz destroyed their cover.-—

This is enormously important for the conservative movement. It’s a watershed event.

But all of it isn't going into effect, one part has already been delayed.

The longer it is delay, the less likely any of it will be implemented.

Many Democrats are already asking for a surcharge tax be removed that they didn't know was there.

Yes, once implemented it will be virtually impossible to remove.

Delay it, expose it, dismantle it.

Amen, Jim.

Boehner is trying to appease both sides --- our Ted Cruz side and his true RINO-GOP-E base.

Well, how many elections has that base won lately?

He'd better wise up.

Appeasement is sure fail. I’ve heard that God doesn’t approve much of lukewarm efforts. Praying God grants Boehner wisdom and strength to save the Republic with the constitutional tools already available to him (thanks to God Himself who guided the Founders).

Boner could screw up a steel ball.

Concentrated cowardice in its purest form.

Back on Thursday, September 12, 2013 5:06:49 PM, this was my suggestion.

—The Republicans must fund Obamacare but with the stipulation that absolutely NO WAIVERS are permitted, including Congress. Republicans can reverse the damage once they own the Senate, the House, and in 2016 the Oval Office.—

I still believe that this is the best way to deal with it.

Make Bammy put back all his waivers and exemptions and make sure they go in effect January 1.

You’ll see a tidal wave GOP win after 11 months of original recipe Bammycare. Delaying it a year means nobody get to feel the pain prior to the election.

It’s time America gets the goobermint they voted for. Instead , the Bonerheads in the GOP will save Democrats from themselves.

Sure it needs the mandate.
Can it make it only a year without it?

I think so, Billions have already gone to the ‘health exchanges’ .
It might take adding a sentence or three in the bill to cover some issue but our ‘leaders’ have no problem doing that.

We must pray for Boehner.

The Republican controlled house has the constitutional tools (power of the purse) to deny funding of the president’s pet unconstitutional, Marxist/socialist/fascist expansionist project. The house and the house alone has the sole constitutional power to wield this awesome tool to save the constitution and the republic. It is their constitutional duty to rein in the out of control president and senate (per James Madison, Federalist 58).

What good does a delay do? The taxes go on, the regulations go on, the confusion deepens. What is the point? Why not just go nuclear and let is all implode? If a wreck is inevitable, and this is a wreck in the making, why delay it?

No matter what happens from here, repeal, delay, defund or continue the health care system of this country, already nothing to write home about but at least it was stable, is wrecked.

Roberts made the right call on this, actually. It is a TAX. something the Democrats desperately wanted to avoid it being called.

Unfortuanately for Americans, the media decided to not report that to the sheeple, on a widespread basis, to cover Obama’s butt.

Boehner should be congratulated for standing up, not criticized for not doing the impossible.

This took courage and it is an important repudiation of Obamacare.

Need to look at the big picture.

Everyone should call Boehner’s office and let him know we support him in this decision.

“delayed implementation is still delayed implementation.

And for the last few years we’ve been fighting implementation of ObamaCare.

We keep losing sight of the fact that what we want is REPEAL!

Defunding was a “delaying tactic” to eventually buy the time to get to repeal.

Delay is also a delaying tactic.

Anything to prevent implementation, because once a government program has ever been implemented it has been next to impossible to stop it.”

You are right on the money — we need to keep delaying it, and work to get a Republican majority and hopefully a Republican president to repeal it, but in the meantime, any delay is good.
