'Repeal every word': Potential GOP 2016 rivals hammer ObamaCare, IRS at Iowa summit
Fox News ^ | 1-25-2015 | Barnini Chakraborty

“The most important tax reform we can do is abolish the IRS,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told the fired-up audience.

The firebrand senator compared the EPA to a locust and got a huge reaction when he demanded to “repeal every word of ObamaCare.”

Sarah Palin, too, after telling reporters she’s thinking about a 2016 run, laced her speech with snappy one-liners as she lit into the current president.

Of Obama, she said: “America, he’s just not that into you.” The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee also knocked the idea of a Hillary Clinton run.

“Hey Iowa, can anyone stop Hillary? To borrow a phrase, yes, we can!” she said.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry – who was interrupted by immigration protesters – helped closed out the daylong event. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum spoke earlier. 

Christie also was interrupted by a protester in the crowd. Unlike Perry, who kept talking through it, Christie couldn’t resist. “Don’t they know I am from New Jersey? This stuff doesn’t bother me one bit,” he said.

Carson, who has been flirting with the idea of a 2016 presidential run, told the crowd the next president should "make it their goal to seal the border within a year."

My apologies. I tried to post the largest contiguous collection of paragraphs I could without exceeding the limits of what is allowed here - keeping it less than 300 words or less than 1/2 of the original article. Thank you for commenting.

“It will never be repealed.”

An entire election cycle was wasted because Romney, being the father of obamacare, could say nothing. The time to strike and strike hard was 4 years ago.

The best thing to do is just post the first 300 words; don’t excerpt.

we have to be prepared to mobilize a strong, well financed third party or write-in effort.

You can just shut that spout off right now. Why even have an election if you're just going to
piss it away like that. The Democrats rejoice when they see this crap, yes, Crap.

By the way, I'm not being defeatist.

Third party "is" being defeatist. You can wiggle that around in your skull and bit and
spin the spin while you're up there above your eyeballs. Then come back down to earth.
And I'm being nice about this Third party agenda you recommend.

Fine. You go ahead and vote for whatever putz the party elite forces upon you. But please don’t complain to me when he or she turns out to be a liberal socialist who works with other liberal socialist colleagues in both houses to tax you and your offspring into oblivion and weaken this already weak nation further. That is...assuming he or she actually makes some effort to win the presidency.
