GOP goes all-in on ‘de-fund ObamaCare,’ as shutdown looms


House Speaker John Boehner, in an abrupt turnaround, plans to let Tea Party lawmakers have a vote on de-funding ObamaCare as part of a politically risky strategy which Democrats warn could result in a government shutdown.  
GOP leaders unveiled their plan to members on Wednesday morning, teeing up a vote for Friday -- the proposed bill would tie the vote to de-fund the health care law to a vote on a stopgap spending bill. Current funding for the government is set to expire at the end of the month, and lawmakers must approve the stopgap bill in order to keep Washington open; conservatives see this as leverage to force a suspension of ObamaCare.

"The law's a trainwreck," Boehner said of the Affordable Care Act. "It's time to protect American families from this unworkable law."

    What twisted words this man does say!
    *Boner* had the FULL authority ALL by himself to STOP ObamaCare, the Affordable Care Act. All he had to do was SIT on the funding when it came before him. He knew this and he didn't act. What does this tell you about him, among many other things? And now he's wanting to all a vote? There MUST be a reason for it. I bet Boner knows it won't pass because of the full spending bill, plus he knows there are many who claims to oppose ObamaCare but will vote for it in their final vote. Boner NOT doing anything he's not sure about...
