(CNSNews.com) – House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said Republicans will do “everything we can” so Americans are not put through the “horrific experience” of Obamacare but would not say if that includes blocking its funding in the continuing resolution, the surest way to halt the individual mandate and other aspects of the law slated for implementation in 2014.

"No decision has been made about how we're going to deal with the CR next month, in September,” Boehner said when CNSNews.com asked if he agreed with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) that funding for the individual mandate be halted in the continuing resolution, or CR, in the fall.

On Wednesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) questioned whether Boehner and the GOP leadership have “the guts” to defund Obamacare.

“Republicans are the only possible salvation that we have, because Democrats have made their decision,” Bachmann said.

“And so it’s whether or not the Republicans in the House have the guts to fight, because it’s like [Winston] Churchill famously said – if you don’t fight now, it’s going to be a lot harder to fight later,” she said.

“This is it,” Bachmann said. “This is our last big effort, and it’s really less than about five months.

“Can we do it? Yeah, it’s possible, but I think the signals I’m reading out of the Republican leadership to me aren’t encouraging,” she said.

I heard "Cousin Dupree" say earlier that the House only had 15 working days left between now and October 1. Unbelievable.

(Here's another thought, how about going through the regular process of developing and approving ACTUAL BUDGETS instead of this having to "rush" through this CR BS every freaking year!!!!)
