What exactly is the point of bills like this? Even if they can get them through the Senate, the President isn’t going to sign! “Defunding” is the only real control they can have.
Especially with bills like 0bamacare, we conservatives need to show the public that the dim led Congress gave us BAD legislation and we intend to repeal them; bring up and vote on these bills monthly, let 0bama veto them, hopefully people will remember, and you're right, defunding is a must.
Make a democrat explain the importance of the FCC bill.
It may be the road less traveled but we still have the power of the override.
Number two...we have got to start making some very loud noise ....
we have to wake up the rest of America before the Presidential Primaries.

It is a good idea to clearly stake out their position and to make the other side defend theirs. It may not actually do anything immediately, but it is good politics and principles.
1. To make sure 'rats running for re-election have to face criticism, and even ads, that point out that they voted against popular bills.2. To get Obama to veto popular bills if they actually get past the Senate, and then run against the ads and criticism about it in 2012.
Look they have to start somewhere and as long as they keep moving in the direction of cutting government control and government budgets and making the rats defend their Marxist positions then they have my blessing and job well done.
The point is to provoke a public discussion which in turn serves to educate the voting public. Conservatism will not win this fight unless it prepares the way. Part of that preparation is to open American’s eyes to the Constitution’s impact on their lives and to undo propagandization of America by the Marxists.
The left took 60 years to make it possible to seat a Usurping Marxist as president. The damage will not be corrected over night. Therefore every opportunity must be taken to provoke public discussion and debate.
Our crusade is eminently doable because conservatives can say unabashedly what we believe in and why. The left on the other hand must lie, cheat, steal and trick or murder its way into power.
I am curious, though. What would you be doing if you were a newly elected conservative representative or senator?
