Michelle Bachmann's motives are pure, but Boehner's are not. He does not want to repeal it, and he will fight hard against any Republican effort to repeal it. This vote, he knows, is purely symbolic, because it will never even come to a vote in the Senate, and so it gives Republicans, true conservatives and phony alike, the ability to say they voted against Obamacare.

To be truly against Obamacare, you would have to refuse to fund it in the budget, and not give in on that when going to conference with the Senate. But the House budget funded it, as I recall.

I don't think so. The House budget is the "Ryan budget" and he claims that there are no dollars in it for Obamacare.

In any event, the Conference Committee -- if there is one -- won't agree on a budget. That will leaves things as they are -- the government expenditures operating on autopilot, controlled only by the Current Services Baseline.

That's the way Harry Reid and the 'Rats want it.
