Of course he would never sign it.
GOPe just wants a share of the power of big gov’t.
They have no intention of reducing its size and returning your liberty.
Then when President Cruz gets into office, he can do the same thing.
Mandatory open carry, anyone?
Here's how. Vote to drop the mandate. That would be veto-proof because the troops aren't going to line up with Obama anymore, and risk losing over an issue that's only going to get more unpopular.
If that doesn't work, defund the insurance subsidies. The insurance companies would take care of it from there.
They need to pass a series of bills that are popular with 2/3 of the country - border fence, irs reform, etc,
let Obama veto every one, and go on the offensive.
Obamacare is NOT popularly supported.
Democrats will say Republicans want to kill women by not letting them abort/kill all their children.
Republicans can counter back that Democrats want to kill and make dead broke the whole nation through Obamacare!
The IRS has already admitted that processing the 2014 tax returns will be brutal due to Obamacare and foreign bank accounts. Obamacare will unravel on it’s own.
Most likely scenario is Republicans will pass a full repeal, and Obama will veto it...
Now the question is this, can you get 2/3 to override? Common calculus is not likely... You’d need most likely 13 Dems to switch in the Senate, and about 45 or so depending on final makeup of 2015 congress dems in the house to switch. Is this possible? I doubt it for 2 reasons.
1) The house may be possible, but not likely, every congressman has already faced election a few times since the initial ObamaCare vote, and survived the purge that was Nov 4 as well. So its doubtful many of them that voted for the bill will switch now, they have already faced voters a few times over it, so no fear of being cast out because of it... but who knows, maybe they got the fear of god put in them... The senate is almost certainly not going to see 13 votes switch, Harry Reid has ruled those chickens like the little bitches they are for 6 years, hard to believe they are going to finally stand up to him and vote against him, and 2) I really doubt Republican Leadership are willing to truly commit to honestly try to make it happen... They will do the token repeal it, but if they had to put up a full court all in fight to try to override a veto, I just don’t think they’ll do it, unless they know going in they have far far more votes for override committed before they even start...and as I said before I don’t see that happening.
Republicans now control completely the legislative agenda, and oversight. They should just starve obamacare on the vine, not one penny to anything related to it.. those billions in subsidies to keep the pools stable... GONE. Enforcement, gone, etc etc... Again, I don’t see the R’s having the will or the stones to do it.
So most likely scenario will be piecemeal legislation to make fringe changes at best.
Agreed, pass all the things that have majority support, but the president ideologically cannot and won’t embrace, and Harry Reid would not allow the senate to vote on... Make Obama veto every one of them.
Then have a nice solid platform to run on in 16, tag hillary as obama’s 3rd term and get 2 years of control of all branches of government.
Make him veto all the stuff that Reid would not allow even go to a vote in the senate for the last 4 years.
Repeal!
Did he stamp his little foot when he said it?
How many times has the house voted to repeal odumbo care? There are still many such bill sitting on Dirty Harry’s desk for the same purpose. Send every damn one of them to odumbo and force him to reject every one of them. Push them in his face.
In touch with his inner-German now.
“Mandatory open carry, anyone?”
NO! For many reasons, as a small old lady, I don’t want to be compelled to open carry——think about it!
I think we should be able to make our own choice about how we carry.
That's the most frustrating part about this whole thing. They COULD, and they SHOULD, but forgive me if I don't hold my breath. I don't see it happening.
Okay, fine. You can pay a $1,500 dollar fine...I mean, fee...to the NRA...I mean, IRS...to be exempt.
No Dem believes he can profit from Obama. Repealing Obamacare may just be the right move of the Dems.
Patience.....
