The House voted Friday to prevent the IRS from enforcing any aspect of ObamaCare, a bill meant to exact revenge against an agency that Republicans say is incapable of neutral enforcement of the law.
Members approved the Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act in a 232-185 vote. Four Democrats supported the bill along with every Republican. The vote capped off several days of work in the House on bills aimed at reining in government regulation and government overreach.
House Democrats cast the votes as merely for show, given opposition from the White House and the Senate majority. The Obama administration threatened to veto the IRS enforcement bill and said it would undermine the 2010 healthcare law that is aimed at expanding healthcare coverage.
Some of these healthcare votes have created awkward moments for Democrats. Earlier this month, 22 Democrats voted with Republicans to delay the individual insurance mandate, and 35 voted to delay the employer mandate.

Now when people start freaking out the blame will lie with Harry Reid. It’s a start I guess.

The Dems have the majority and Obama would never sign it so it would need 2/3’s of both houses (IIRC).

“said it would undermine the 2010 healthcare law that is aimed at expanding healthcare coverage”
Almost right, but change “expanding” to “expending”.

I find that "reason" disturbing, since it implies that if the IRS was capable of violating, intimidating, and harrassing everyone, without any prejudice or political ax to grind, then congress would be cool with it.

Its terrible but that seems to be my feelings about almost every thing they do lately. All show and no go. They vote for this crap knowing it won’t get past the Senate or President but it makes them look like they are ‘trying’ to do something.
Pfffffttttt!

So, an Agency that is targeting people for their ideology will soon have unfettered access to their health records. The IRS already knows which Americans they want sent to internment camps or killed. Obamacare will give them other ways to kill people, especially the older ones who believe in the Constitution.
Make no mistake, this is the German Gestapo all over again. The internment camps are coming in the next 10 years or so.. The DHS has plenty of ammo and the organizing of Obama's Civilian National Security Force is underway. Heads up!
