After passing CR that funds Obamacare, GOP presents budget symbolically repealing it

The title says it all and puts it into what I believe is the proper perspective:

CNS NEWS – One week after voting to give the Obama administration full funding for the implementation of Obamacare in the must-pass continuing resolution that will fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal 2013, the House Republicans are once again vowing to symbolically repeal Obamacare in legislation that is not must-pass.

“We don’t like this law,” House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said of Obamacare as he unveiled his budget for fiscal year 2014 at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. “This is why we’re proposing to repeal this law in our budget.”

“This to us is something that we’re not going to give up on,” Ryan said, explaining that Obamacare–that goes into full effect in just nine months–“will do great damage to families and the health care system of America.”

House Republicans have symbolically voted to repeal Obamacare more than 30 times in legislation that does not need to pass. However, every time they have enacted legislation that must-pass to keep the government funded, they have declined to include language that would repeal all or any part of Obamacare or that would withhold funding for all or any part of Obamacare.

Last week, as CNSNews.com previously reported, when the Republican-controlled House took up the $982-billion continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September, the legislation did include language prohibiting the administration from buying foreign-made ball bearings but it did not include language limiting the implementation of Obamacare.

While I know that each congressman is responsible for him/herself, the truth is the GOP leadership is just terrible. I guarantee you if Boehner had put up a fight against funding Obamacare, a majority of the House would have followed him. But he doesn’t. And he uses a heavy hand just as Pelosi did to manipulate congressmen to vote the way he wants.

I know he’s in a tough position, but he only makes it tougher. He’s not the man for the job because he is way too weak. He has more fear than fight and that’s a bad combination for this country right now.
