Calling the Internal Revenue Service's role in the implementation of the new federal health care law "chilling," Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) argued in a video posted online Wednesday that the only appropriate response to the controversy involving the agency's targeting of conservative groups is to repeal Obamacare. Answering a question from a constituent as part of a weekly series conducted by his office, the junior Florida senator and potential 2016 aspirant said he intends to renew his focus on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act in the wake of the IRS scandal. "So the only answer to this is to repeal Obamacare," Rubio said in response to an email from a man in Orlando, Fla.

You can't just move the IRS out of the way, because if the IRS isn't doing it, then either some new government bureaucracy will have to be created or some existing government bureaucracy will go ahead and implement this. So the only answer to this is to repeal Obamacare.

So Rubio says that because the IRS sucks, Obamacare must go. But wait, if Marco Rubio were really concerned about the IRS, then why is he going after the IRS instead of Obamacare? Well, because what he really cares about is Obamacare. In his own words:So the IRS is actually irrelevant here, except as another excuse for Marco Rubio to tell Republicans that he, like Michele Bachmann, wants nothing more than to repeal Obamacare. But even though he's saying it now, I'll make a prediction for 2016: If Rubio somehow wins the GOP nomination, those two words won't pass his lips after Labor Day. Because by then, most Americans will realize that saying "Repeal Obamacare" is the same thing as saying "deny 30 million Americans health insurance."
