Boehner Indicates GOP House May Fund Obama's 'Attack on Religious Liberty
CNS News.com ^ | July 26, 2012 | By Jon Street

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated Thursday that the Republican-controlled House of Representatives that he leads may go ahead and provide the Obama administration with the funding it needs to implement a regulation that earlier this year Boehner himself called "an unambiguous attack on religious freedom in our country."

At a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, Boehner said he believes "resolving" the regulation's attack on religious liberty may not be something for Congress to deal with because he thinks it may be one of those policy goals that "can sometimes best be done [through] other than legislative avenues."

Boehner did not explain what those "other than legislative avenues" may be. However, whether or not the Obama administration can actually carry out the regulation depends entirely on whether or not Boehner's Republican-majority House votes to give the administration the money to do it. If the Republican-majority House prohibits spending any money to implement the regulation in whatever legislation that funds the government after Sept. 30, the administration cannot implement it.

Boehner's House can stop what Boehner called an "attack on religious freedom," or it can give Presdient Obama the money to launch the attack.

Boner looks like he’s been hitting the bottle pretty hard. Time for a maverick to come in and challenge him for the good of whats left of the party.

Boehner needs to go. He is no leader in these critical times.

Mr. Boehner, you are a lackey of the Devil. You are a writhing worm in the dirt.

You are a disgrace to America.

How can a limp No-Balls Boner remain erect without a spine?

I just can’t figure it out.

What, in the name of Heaven, is wrong with Boehner?!

Can he be recalled? Can there be a vote of ‘no confidence’?

For his lack of usefulness, he might as well be a Dem!

To even consider this course of action, yes they really are dead. And they have no souls.

Big corporations want to drop health care insurance. They are putting a LOT of pressure to keep Obamacare. The Weeper is only doing what he is told to do.

The totally artificial, irrational linkage of health insurance with employment has to be severed. There should be no such thing as “benefits.” They are a creature of an irrational, corrupt tax code.

Is that what this is about? Attacking religious liberty to keep contraceptions and abortions in Obamacare? That would take care of most of the 1st amendment, and they are working on doing away with the 2nd.
