>”We have to take the Senate and have 60 SOLID votes to repeal it”<

You only need 51 Senate Votes to repeal it in the Senate and a simple Majority in the House if Romney is President.

You need 67 Votes to overide an Obama Veto in the Senate and 2/3rds of the House.

The Filibuster Rule cannot be applied because of how Obamacare was originally passed using the Reconciliation Process.

I stand corrected.

But we STILL need to weed out the whole damn lot of them.

What we really need is a house that has balls and will simply bring all business in the house to a total stop until the president and senate both sign a repeal.

A TOTAL stop. No laws, no continuations, appointments et all. That requires what we have at this moment, only with a sense of purpose and a loyalty to their country.

All the screaming in the media means nothing. All the screaming of the lib/Dems means nothing. The House controls the money. Period.

When the money runs out and no one gets a check, they have a choice. Stay broke and starve or pressure the Senate and President to repeal.

That’s how you play hardball if you value your country more than your job.

Interesting. The Democrats may end up hoist on their own petard. Let's work hard for that!!
