"SNIP.........................
Tea Party activists are planning a rally outside Speaker John Boehners (R) Ohio office on Tuesday, vowing they will rebrand President Obamas 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.

This fight is impossible to win, yet they insist on fighting.
They should have cut their losses when the Supreme Court held up the Constitutionality of the ACA.
They just don't know when to quit.
