I don’t know why someone (other than me and you) doesn’t point this out. It’s like this huge lie that is uttered constantly and everyone seems to just accept it. Even Newt.
Why he doesn’t challenge Romney to give specifics as to how he will do this is beyond me. Some thing can be done by executive order, but not REPEAL of a law. So Mitt is lying.
The only path to repeal requires control of the House and Senate, which is something Newt talks often about.
Yeah, but I think Newt said he would ask Congress to stay in session on January 3rd and pass a bill that he could sign on the first day, and that he would be presenting that bill to Congress in October, or something to that effect.
Yep, Newt specifically discussed the legislative repeal of Obamacare in his "17 days before inauguration" speech.
I think all 4 candidates have pretty much said the same thing..they will repeal Obamacare. So that ceases to be an issue among the candidates.
Since Mitt was before it before he was against it, and was the creator of govt mandated healthcare: highly unlikely.
Good point you make. And it will be very hard to repeal it even with control of the House and Senate. Even at that repeal will have a hard time finding a majority.
