Tea Party activists are planning a rally outside Speaker John Boehner’s (R) Ohio office on Tuesday, vowing they will rebrand President Obama’s healthcare reform law “BoehnerCare" if he does not get behind a conservative effort to defund the legislation.
“If he funds it, he will own it,” said Janet Porter, president of Faith2Action, one of the groups scheduled to participate in the rally, according to The Washington Times.
Boehner, along with congressional GOP leaders like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), has yet to voice support for the effort.
A group of right-wing lawmakers vowed before the August recess to block any spending bills that would also fund the law, risking a government shutdown after Sept. 30.
Republicans have routinely labeled the law “ObamaCare.” The president and most of the public have embraced the term.
Conservative radio host Mark Levin used the term “BoehnerCare” on his nationally syndicated radio program last week.
“Rather than calling it ObamaCare, we should call it BeohnerCare” if the Speaker follows through with the current plan to fund the law in the upcoming continuing resolution that funds the government, Levin said.
“So I think I’m going to call it BoehnerCare if I can remember from time to time, certainly more often, because Boehner won’t even fight. Boehner, he’s just – is the word 'pathetic' appropriate?”

I LIKE it. But why wait? “Boehnercare” has a nice ring to it.
Pronounced with a long “o”.
Glad to see that The Great One agrees with me (or is it the other way around?)
People (including BooHoo-ner) need to wrap their wits around this. Boehner and the House Republicans can delete all funding for Obamacare from the upcoming CR, while funding the rest of the federal beast.
If they don't, they will be giving the breath of life to something that will likely destroy what's left of the American economy, and be un-killable afterwards.
This is gut check time for them. If they falter now, they will consign the American public to a nightmare that will lead to events and conditions we can scarcely imagine - none of them good.
They simply must brave whatever threats they face for doing the right thing in this case. Even if it means personal and professional destruction. To do otherwise, is to loose armageddon on the country.
Boehner has been BOUGHT. That’s a fact. There can be no other explanation. Even a lot of Democrats aren’t so stupid as to not see the train wreck that is Obamacare. The best thing that Boehner could do would be to turn in his passport.
BonerCare.
He funds it, he owns it.
True.
If he allows Obamacare to be funded in the upcoming CR, he'd better find another country to soil with his despicable presence.
“If he allows Obamacare to be funded in the upcoming CR, he’d better find another country to soil with his despicable presence.”
That’s mean and cruel.
Why would you do that to some poor, unsuspecting country?
Hang Obamacare and Obama himself around Boehner's neck.
He deserves no less.
Ohio Tea Party got game!
Congrats!
Well, maybe he could move to Mexico. I'm sure he'd fit right in with their corrupt form of gov't. They've sent us enough of their crooks and criminals. We should return the favor.
I like it!
Let's pray we never have to use it.
BTTT
You got that right!
I do have bad feelings about what's going to happen though, can't shake them.
Really think we're being set up again along with amnesty to boot.
Like Ted Cruz said, it's going to take a tsunami of resistance from the American people to stop Congress from destroying what's left of the country.
We either get busy standing up to these treasonous bastards in a civil fashion, or we'll be left with the option of standing up to them in an un-civil fashion.
If we're unwilling to do either one, we may as well clasp the shackles on our own ankles now.
