ObamaCare: Boehner / Cantor US House Republican faux "Leadership" plan
to cave and fund ObamaCare implementation
__________________________________________________________________

Has the threat of (unjust) war against Syria been used as a deadly distraction from
more focused public opposition to the impending major FY 2014 implementation
of ObamaCare (national socialized medicine) on October 1, 2013, unless the pending
Budget Continuing Resolution (CR) does not absolutely prohibit funding thereof ?

Excerpts:
"Sources close to House conservative leaders have confirmed to Breitbart News that House GOP leadership
is planning to cave and fund Obamacare’s implementation for at least the rest of 2013."
continued...
"Breitbart News’ source, a high-ranking conservative movement figure close to House conservatives, said that this CR
from House leadership will continue to pay for Obamacare’s implementation without cutting from current levels of
taxpayer funding for the healthcare law’s rollout, despite claims from Boehner’s office it will “include defunding ObamaCare.”
The source said the budget riders that will be attached to the CR can be removed easily by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
allowing him to pass a CR through the Senate funding Obamacare--a procedural move that does not require the House to revisit
its CR and makes the Senate version final."
"The source added that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is “shopping an idea of passing defund through the House with the CR,
but with a mechanism that would allow it to be decoupled in the Senate, defeated, and then the base CR be passed without coming
back to the House.” "
"The source said the conservative movement should “reject and pan” this “trick” from Cantor, which allows House GOP members
to claim they voted to defund Obamacare but allows Reid to strip out budget riders defunding Obamacare and pass a Senate CR
without them."
continued...
"Red State’s Daniel Horowitz notes that this trick from House GOP leadership could give GOP members political cover
to oppose the grassroots and Tea Party movement by allowing them to claim they voted not to pay for Obamacare’s
implementation. “Based on what I'm hearing from House sources, the worst suspicions are confirmed,” Horowitz wrote.
“Eric Cantor is floating an idea to pass a short-term CR with a defund rider. But just as we predicted, they plan to write
a rule that will sever the defund rider from the body of the bill after it passes the House." "
" "This will allow the Senate to vote down the defund part separately, and send a clean CR straight to the President's desk
without ever returning to the House," he explained. "This will ensure that we capitulate while allowing House and Senate Republicans
to be shielded from charges of voting to defund Obamacare.” "

Report: House GOP Leadership Plan Procedural Trick to Avoid Obamacare Funding Fight

[ "S.L." - Republican House Majority Leader, Rep. Eric Cantor (VA) (L), and
Republican Speaker of the House, Rep. John Boehner (OH) (R) ]
Sources close to House conservative leaders have confirmed to Breitbart News that House GOP leadership
is planning to cave and fund Obamacare’s implementation for at least the rest of 2013.
Text of the Continuing Resolution (CR) that will fund the government for 60-75 days will be released on Tuesday,
the conservative source said, before a House vote on Thursday. The move comes abruptly as conservatives are
ramping up their final push on House leadership with a big Tea Party rally outside the Capitol on Tuesday
calling for Obamacare’s defunding.
House Speaker John Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel told Breitbart News the “CR will include defunding ObamaCare,”
but would not specify whether or not a certain procedural “trick” the GOP leadership used in a similar situation in 2011
will be employed yet again.
Breitbart News’ source, a high-ranking conservative movement figure close to House conservatives, said that this CR
from House leadership will continue to pay for Obamacare’s implementation without cutting from current levels of
taxpayer funding for the healthcare law’s rollout, despite claims from Boehner’s office it will “include defunding ObamaCare.”
The source said the budget riders that will be attached to the CR can be removed easily by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
allowing him to pass a CR through the Senate funding Obamacare--a procedural move that does not require the House to revisit
its CR and makes the Senate version final.
The source added that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is “shopping an idea of passing defund through the House with the CR,
but with a mechanism that would allow it to be decoupled in the Senate, defeated, and then the base CR be passed without coming
back to the House.”
The source said the conservative movement should “reject and pan” this “trick” from Cantor, which allows House GOP members
to claim they voted to defund Obamacare but allows Reid to strip out budget riders defunding Obamacare and pass a Senate CR
without them.
In rushing the CR to the floor for a vote, Breitbart News’ source said that House GOP leadership will put votes on whether
the U.S. should authorize use of military force in Syria off until next week.
Politico has also confirmed the GOP leadership’s plans, reporting that Cantor and House Speaker John Boehner are
“dusting off an old legislative gambit from April 2011 as one way to move ahead this week with a stopgap spending bill
for the first months of the new fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.”
“The goal is to give conservatives a vote on defunding health care reform without resulting in a government shutdown,”
Politico’s David Rogers wrote. “It’s worked before, but ‘before’ is the operative word."
"And until Tuesday’s Republican Conference, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)
won’t really know if this flash-from-the-past can flash again," Rogers continued. "Most simply the procedure calls for
sending the Senate a stopgap spending bill together with a resolution that would alter the text of the bill once it’s enrolled
for presentation to President Barack Obama.”
Red State’s Daniel Horowitz notes that this trick from House GOP leadership could give GOP members political cover
to oppose the grassroots and Tea Party movement by allowing them to claim they voted not to pay for Obamacare’s
implementation. “Based on what I'm hearing from House sources, the worst suspicions are confirmed,” Horowitz wrote.
“Eric Cantor is floating an idea to pass a short-term CR with a defund rider. But just as we predicted, they plan to write
a rule that will sever the defund rider from the body of the bill after it passes the House."
"This will allow the Senate to vote down the defund part separately, and send a clean CR straight to the President's desk
without ever returning to the House," he explained. "This will ensure that we capitulate while allowing House and Senate Republicans
to be shielded from charges of voting to defund Obamacare.”
Rick Manning, the vice president for public policy and communications at Americans for Limited Government, told Breitbart News
such a strategy from leadership to buy political cover will likely fail in the end.
“If Congress ends up funding Obamacare in the Continuing Resolution, House Republicans will own it every bit as much
as if they had voted for it in the beginning,” Manning said. “Parliamentary tricks will not save them from this reality.”
Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin said recently that if House Speaker John Boehner allowed a situation like this to happen,
Obamacare would forever become known as “BoehnerCare.”
Club for Growth president Chris Chocola denounced the reported plan in a statement Monday afternoon: "Are these news reports
from The Onion? Or are they real?” Chocola said. “When members were at home over recess, did they hear their constituents
ask for legislative tricks or principled leadership?
"Trying to fool Republicans into voting to fund Obamacare is even worse than offering a bill that deliberately funds it," Chocola declared.
"I hope this proposal is nothing more than a bad joke and is quickly discarded. Republicans should simply do what they say they are for
by passing a Continuing Resolution that doesn’t fund Obamacare.”

Washington D.C.- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) released the following pledge
to House Republican Leadership calling for all $105.5 billion in automatic appropriations to ObamaCare to be struck by the FY11 CR.
King and Bachmann call upon all Members of the U.S. House of Representatives to sign onto the pledge to vote "NO" on any
continuing resolution proposal that does not include language that cuts off the automatic funding that was written into ObamaCare
by the Pelosi Congress in 2010.

Conservatives skeptical of GOP ObamaCare defunding move
http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/321311-conservatives-skeptical-of-gop-obamacare-move
09/10/13 11:15 AM ET
House Republican leaders will have to overcome a skeptical conservative bloc to pass a plan that would force the Senate
to vote on defunding ObamaCare before enacting a critical spending measure.
Lawmakers on Tuesday offered a mixed response to a proposal outlined by Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) that would
use a procedural maneuver to give conservatives a vote on President Obama’s healthcare law while diminishing the chances
of a government shutdown after Sept. 30.
The House could vote by the end of the week on the plan, but with Democrats unlikely to help, it remains unclear whether
the leadership could cobble together enough votes among conservatives. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters
the leadership would be talking to members about the plan “as the day goes on and the rest of the week.”

House GOP struggles to sell ObamaCare plan to conservatives
http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/budget/321491-house-gop-struggles-to-sell-obamacare-plan-to-conservatives
09/10/13 06:59 PM ET
House Republican leaders were struggling Tuesday to sell skeptical conservatives on their plan to force the Senate
to vote on defunding ObamaCare before enacting a critical measure to keep the government funded.
The conservative groups Club for Growth, Heritage Action and FreedomWorks announced their opposition to the plan
within hours of its unveiling at a closed-doors Republican meeting.
Separately, some conservative lawmakers at a Tea Party rally outside the Capitol denounced the idea as a “gimmick”
that stopped short of defunding President Obama’s healthcare law.
GOP lawmakers at Tuesday’s meeting offered a mixed response, with some saying they would consider voting for the
proposal but only in exchange for a commitment from party leaders to demand a one-year delay in the implementation
of ObamaCare in negotiations to raise the debt ceiling next month.
Under the plan, the House would vote on a continuing resolution that maintains federal spending at sequester levels and
keeps the government running through mid-December. The measure would include a separate concurrent resolution defunding
the healthcare law, and under the rule governing debate, the Senate would have to hold an up-or-down vote on the healthcare
resolution before it could vote on the spending bill. Assuming the Senate vote to defund ObamaCare failed, the continuing
resolution could then be sent to the president without returning to the House.
GOP leaders would like the House to approve the legislation this week, but it is unclear whether they will be able to round up
enough votes with Democrats vowing to withhold their support.
