McConnell: IRS Can't Be Trusted to Implement Obamacare
NewsMax ^ | May 15, 2013 | By Todd Beamon and Kathleen Walter

Posted on 05/15/2013 7:24:27 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells Newsmax TV that the current scandal facing the Internal Revenue Service proves that the agency cannot be trusted to implement Obamacare.

"I don’t think so," the Kentucky Republican says in an exclusive interview. "I don’t think we ought to have Obamacare. We ought to pull it out root and branch, if we possibly can.

"And, certainly, the IRS part of administering Obamacare, particularly in the wake of this IRS scandal with regard to suppressing the views of Americans who were critical of the IRS, raises further suspicions about their involvement in the administration of Obamacare."

Obamacare has 47 separate provisions that involve the IRS. It is the second-largest agency, after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, charged with implementing the Affordable Care Act.

The IRS has to implement Obamacare’s required purchase of health coverage, checking whether millions of Americans are in compliance.

Speaking to the current scandal embroiling the IRS, McConnell tells Newsmax that Congress would investigate the targeting of conservative groups "for as long as it takes to get the truth."

Hey Mitch, defund it. You should have all the votes right now in the house you need to do this.

Until Roberts is removed from the bench, all attempts at repeal will be nullified in court.

Send those "renegade" bureaucrats for prison to service felony charges. It's the only way to insure the bureauacracy gets the message.

"Turbo Tax" Tim Geithner was Treasury Secretary when these crimes began and he ought to be pulled in front of a committee and grilled, the little puke.

Never, ever trust a fellow who evades taxes by giving him authority over the very entity he chose to evade. Its unbelievable he passed Congressional vetting.

And what are you going to do McConnell? Time for talk is past. You are nothing but a spineless pussy. It is every person for himself with this “leadership”.

Congressional vetting has become a complete joke.

There is another repeal vote on Obama Care tommorrow in the House.

Considering this IRS scandal and the IRS $440 million appropriation to enforce Obama care, maybe the repeal will pass the House and Senate.

That would be real nice.

"Congress would investigate the targeting of conservative groups "for as long as it takes to get the truth.""

How about: "Until it never happens again"?

"ACA is a Democrat/Marxist thing only Democrats want, and it isn’t for the benefit of the people"

That's not what Traitor Roberts wrote.

I agree, but be careful what you wish for.

Bammy has years of potential SCOTUS appointments to go.

Quite true - although for a political strategy, connecting it to the current IRS scandal can serve to breathe new life into two very unpopular issues.

Other than Lugar, that’s just not true - not even close.

Mourdock shot himself in the foot. His loss is his own fault.
