If every Republican were completely dedicated to the repeal of Obamacare, with no possibility that they would waiver, there is still no way they could repeal Obamacare in 2015. Obama would just veto it.

Two and a half years ago, Mitch McConnell said that if they took the Senate and had a 51 majority, they could wipe out Obamacare because it had been ruled a Tax.

Now that it looks like the Republicans are going to win big this November, he is stating that he needs at least 60 votes to put some of the most unpleasant aspects of Obamacare on the Presidents desk....like the Medical device tax. He also recently stated on Cavuto, that we are unlikely to even get 60, so even that is unlikely.

Classic bait and switch.

I will be voting Republican, but they are making it harder and harder every election.


If the SOB was serious about doing away with Obamacare all the Republicans have to do is change the Senate rules to do away with cloture, like the Democrats did with the judiciary appointees.  They don't have the guts to do it.  I am not sure any Republican would do away with Obamacare if they had the opportunity.  




do it.

And when the Dems take back the Senate in 2016, how long do you think it will take them to use the GOP-enacted rules on cloture for legislation on, oh, let's say... An assault weapons ban?

He is telling the truth.  This same reality is why GW Bush signed some of the legislation he did because if he vetoed it, the veto would have been overwritten before the ink dried on his veto signature.

IT's nice to think about but medical places have invested a lot of money to comply with the regulations. Obamacare is hardly a blip in the campaign ads.

The only way he could do that is by winning the 2016 election and having a GOP majority in both House and Senate.

They are two wings of the same buzzard and all they want to do is feather their own nests, $hit on the people, and retire with a hefty pension for life. Self-serving, media swilling, handout copping, mendacious swine penned up together in that sprawling whorehouse known as the Congress. Ninety percent of them couldn't pour pi$$ out of a boot with directions written on the heel. The other ten percent wander aimlessly in the wilderness like Diogenes seeking a wise man and a virgin for the manger scene and finding only 400+ jackasses standing in the courtyard hurling camel $hit at random, bull$hit having run out into the streets in great shimmering sheets.

Even if they change the senate rules and do away with the filibuster it would not matter. You have to 2/3 majority in both houses to override a presidential veto. The republicans will have nowhere near that. So nothing will be repealed or fixed or anything because the votes will not be there to do it.

Its not Democrat filibusters that are the issue - Dingy Harry gutted the filibuster rules and the Republicans need to make them suffer over that.



Its the Presidential vetoes that they need the votes to overcome.

Defunding isn't enough.  Federal programs that are defunded can be refunded at a later date. when the Party seizes power again



Obamacare must be repealed.  It took the Party over 60 years to enact nationalized healthcare - a Party goal since FDR.  They had to water it down from the desired goal (single-payer, Federal national health care), but that was part of the plan.



Dismantlling Obamacare means the Party has to start from scratch.  Repealing Obamacara leaves no doubt that the American people overwhelmingly wanted it gone.  Defunding it leaves the apparatus in place and allows the lie that this wonderful Party program, the legacy of our historic President, Barack Hussein Obama, is the Will of the People.



Defunding is a half-step than can be erased with the stroke of a pen.

The powerful interests which got the bill passed still want to eliminate the advantage which foreign competitors have because they don't foot the bill for their employees' medical treatment.
The only real change that will be made to ObamaCare is to make the government responsible for paying for all medical care and to give the government the power to make all decisions concerning medical treatment.

Anyone who believe otherwise is just smoking the Hopium pipe, to borrow a phrase.

Of course they're going to continue screwing the citizens.
The republicans want the expansion of .gov's role in our lives too, like the Patriot Act as just one example.
More and more citizens will beg for it to "improve" or get reworked, but not for it to go away entirely. It will become as accepted as payroll withholding.
It's a tax and now that it's in place it will never go away. It may change, but not go away. It's too much power over us to let go of.
Never believe a politician, lying is their livelihood.

Cheers!

Not sure where you got that, but whatever floats your boat.  I'm just trying to point out that a mad rush to change the rules (when we aren't looking at amendment the Constitution to change the nature of the veto) has some pretty serious long-term implications.

that is not the only metric in the scheme of "big government."  Ocare is unlikely to go away unless we get enough seats in the house, senate, and take the Oval office.  Even then, by that time, even the R's will recognize that getting rid of the power Ocare provides to the feds is too tempting to get rid of, at least totally.

If they only knew how pissed off 20 somethings are that they are going to have to pay a penalty "tax" for not carrying insurance and the invasion of privacy requiring someone to carry health insurance is, they would make a big deal of it then repeal it.

Young people are mad.  They see Obama Care as an incredible invasion of privacy and threat to their liberty and lifestyle.

These are what would be considered "liberal" young people I am talking about.

They also now realize that in addition to their school loans, they share the debt burden of this country and will pay on it the rest of their lives from EVERY SINGLE PAYCHECK!

The only way to avoid paying it is to live in poverty and never make or have anything except welfare.

This is a huge opportunity.

Either the GOP or the Democrats are going to control the Senate in 2014.  The party in majority will decide who heads the various important committees.  The committee that oversees all proposed gun control legislation is the Senate Judiciary Committee.  Here are each party's members on that Committee, their NRA grade for 2014, their votes on key legislation in 2013, and any specially remarkable actions on gun legislation:

Democrats
Patrick Leahy (D-VT) Chairman - NRA C, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Diane Feinstein (D-CA) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms - Author of 1994 ban, Author of 2004 Renewal Amendment to Ban, Author of Draconian 2013 Ban.
Charles Schumer (D-NY) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms, Leader of Senate Gun Control forces in 2013.
Dick Durbin (D-IL) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Al Franken (D-MN) - NRA - F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Christopher A. Coons (D-DE) NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms
Mazie Hirono (D-HI) - NRA F, Voted to ban magazines, Voted to Ban Semi-Autos, Voted for registration of firearms

Republicans
Chuck Grassley (R-IA) (Ranking Member of Minority) - NRA A, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms
Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT) - NRA A+, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms
Jeff Sessions (R-AL) - NRA A+, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms
Lindsey Graham (R-SC)- NRA A, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms, Sponsored S.480 to stop VA from stripping vets of 2A rights for PTSD/financial incapacity determinations
John Cornyn (R-TX) - NRA A+, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms, Sponsored Nationwide Concealed Carry Reciprocity Amendment - Twice
Mike Lee (R-UT) - NRA A+, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms
Ted Cruz (R-TX) NRA A+, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms, Led first filibuster attempt on Senate gun control bill.
Jeff Flake (R-AZ) - NRA A, Voted AGAINST ban on magazines, Voted AGAINST Ban on Semi-Autos, Voted AGAINSTregistration of firearms, Leaned on hard by Gabby Giffords and Dems during Newtown and targeted for some really nasty propaganda.

Whichever party gains the majority in the Senate in November 2014, decides which of these two groups of people will control the Committee that controls the fate of all gun control legislation in the Senate.  If the Republicans win, they get to axe two Democrats (which would probably be Blumenthal and Hirono) and add two Republicans (unknown).

So, does anybody see any trends we can use to determine which group we would rather have in power?

They also now realize that in addition to their school loans, they share the debt burden of this country and will pay on it the rest of their lives from EVERY SINGLE PAYCHECK!

The only way to avoid paying it is to live in poverty and never make or have anything except welfare.

This is a huge opportunity.

If the Republicans ignore Cruz and Paul like they look like they are trying to then stick a fork in them.


I don't know...........young people voted for Obongo overwhelmingly the two times he ran for president.................we'll see.



And now they realize they were dumb.  The ones I know will straight up tell you that.  They are mostly Gypsies, hippies and Carnies.

Not to mention that their options the first time was John McCain    and the second was Mitt Romney  


I will tell you that they will NOT vote for Jeb Bush or Chris Christie..  They just do not see the point.

I assume you're joking, but even if the Republicans controlled 70% of the House and Senate along with the Presidency they still would not actually DO anything regarding Obamacare.

Money corrupts anybody, it doesn't matter which political crowd you identify with, they are all morally corrupt and do not care about you or I, they will sell us all down the river if it means more money in their pocket.

The republicans and democrats are 2 wings of the same chicken . The differences any more are subtle enough there is overlap .

What bullshit.

The Republicans have been vastly better on 2nd amendment issues than the Democrats.

And spare me the usual spew about RINO's like McCain, and universal background checks.

RINOs like McCain and Snow are vastly outnumbered by Republican RKBA supporters.

If not for 2nd amendment stalwarts like Mitch McConnell (what was that?, did your head just explode? ) we would be looking at the worst that Schumer and Fiensten could have dreamed up after Sandy Hook as law today.

Two and a half years ago, Mitch McConnell said that if they took the Senate and had a 51 majority, they could wipe out Obamacare because it had been ruled a Tax.

Now that it looks like the Republicans are going to win big this November, he is stating that he needs at least 60 votes to put some of the most unpleasant aspects of Obamacare on the Presidents desk....like the Medical device tax. He also recently stated on Cavuto, that we are unlikely to even get 60, so even that is unlikely.

Classic bait and switch.

I will be voting Republican, but they are making it harder and harder every election.

Can you read? I said I was voting Republican.....

But you just convinced HIM to vote Democrat, with your compelling, anti-Republican diatribe.

Wasn't that your intent?

Vote Republican and change the party from within while they are in power, even though you may think they are only marginally better than the Democrats.  And they may well be only marginally better.

Anyone who advocates differently is a moby shit stirrer.

Or a shit-ass single issue pot voter.
