So....what is the alternate plan to dismantle Obamacare?

Easy to criticize, difficult to come up with a realistic alternative.

Yeah CJ Roberts betrayed us. But the SCOTUS route was the easy path, the lazy path.

Now we have the hard job of dismantling Obama from WH, Reid from Majority Leader, and elect more congress critters with backbone.

Note that 2012 is the LAST CHANCE. After 2014 Obamacare will be so deeply entrenched it will be impossible to dismantle it. Just ask congresswoman Bachmann, who knows something about this.

So....what is the alternate plan to dismantle Obamacare?

218 or 41 - to refuse to vote spending or filibuster spending
218-60/51/50+VP-1 - to invoke cloture, pass a bill and sign it into law
290-67 - to override a Presidential veto
218-67 - to impeach and convict
290-67-38 - to amend the Constitution

Hard? Yes. Possible in 2012? Yes, but no guts. Possible in 2013? Only the spending, same as 2012. Possible in 2015? Ask me November 7, 2012. But the key is Senators. If we get to 60 conservatives - which may mean 66-70 Republicans - can control spending.

On paper, we already have enough Reps in the House to stop Reidcare (Obama didn't write it, probably still hasn't read it). In fact, if we had leaders who would commit, win or lose, like the other party did in 2010, we could defund the Left as of 30 September 2012, and could have in 2011, as no budget had been passed, which is still true.

Salve

{So....what is the alternate plan to dismantle Obamacare?

You figure it out as one in one of your country. Only you together can hit it, if not, questions can be asked for centuries.

Merci.
