"This spring, Republicans were on a mission: repeal the Obama administration’s rule to require employers to cover birth control.

House Speaker John Boehner even stood on the floor of the House in February and promised that Congress would act. “This attack by the federal government on religious freedom in our country must not stand and will not stand,” Boehner said.

But now, with the rule set to take effect Wednesday — part of the “Obamacare” law the GOP hates so much — the fiery repeal rhetoric has fizzled. In fact, few on Capitol Hill are saying anything about it at all.

And that House vote to block the rule? Never happened — and isn’t in the works either. A group of die-hards on the issue asked for it again in a closed-door meeting Wednesday with House leadership but said no promises were made.

Even Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.), one of the most vocal critics of the rule and co-sponsor of a bill to eliminate it, has gone quiet now that the rule is about to kick in.

It’s a reminder of how fast things changed for Republicans this spring.

What looked like a great attack line against the president on religious liberty — and a chance to rally evangelical and Catholic voters against President Barack Obama — quickly morphed into another example of what the left dubbed the Republicans’ “war on women.”

And it seems like House Republican leadership took the attacks to heart. A small group of House Republicans and religious liberty groups are trying to get the issue going again — including attempts to get the courts to halt it — but they’re not getting any traction with top Republicans."

Let's discuss Obama's dismal record on just about everything. He has a reverse midas touch in nearly every area, including spending taxpayer dollars like a drunken whore. No offense to whores.

Those damn Christians, who do they think they are? Just because this country was founded by people fleeing religious persecution and the very first amendment to the constitution guarantees that right doesn't mean the government can't dictate what a religion is allowed to believe.
They have to learn that the only religion that matters is the belief in the state from which all blessings flow

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid. November is coming fast and it ain't going to be pretty for a lot of Democrats. You think that gun toot' bible thumper are the only thing you have to worry about, well Catholic Nancy just called the Jews idiots for being Republican. I don't know if Obama will survive, and I don't care. All politics is local and that is where it is happening.

Much of the Demorat voting blocks in inter city, which I think other then cheating is going to be low. It is the economy stupid. The red herring of taxing the rich and condom is a joke. Both issues are really government interference in religion and free enterprise. The Demorats are trying to take away both. Sorry, USA is not Father country.
