Repeal and replace...

No, simply REPEAL. No replacement. Government has absolutely no business running our health care, whatsoever.

They need to replace it with something.
If they simply replealed it, the Ted Kennedy HMO Act of 1973 that destroyed free market healthcare in America would still stand. The antitrust exemption for insurance companies would still stand. Not being able to buy across state lines would still stand. Frivolous lawsuits would still stand.

Pass a bill that all new Federal regulations must pass through committee for review then have an up or down vote by congress.

It would do more for industrial confidence than any other act.

Repeal Obamacare - they used the nuclear (reconciliation) to pass it, use the same technique to repeal it. Then freeze all pensions, and return to 2997 spending, and start Privatizing whole sections of government.

1) Repeal Obamacare NOW (a universal priority).

2) Unconditional spending freeze. Not one dime of money - whether it be real or forecast - goes out the door to anyone. Place a moratorium on every unspent penny of the Porkulus Act that hasn't been puked out into the pockets of slobbering recipients yet. Couple this with a coherent tax cut policy to rid the business community of it's case of the jits, if only as a short-term kick start to the economy.

3) Secure the borders immediately. If a recreational boater in US waters - on a gaddamn lake - can get shot in the back of head by a bunch of gold-toothed flap hats, and it doesn't drive home the urgency of national civil defense, then we all might as well munch a cyanide capsule and let them have the place.

4) Get out the brass knuckles and go after every deviant, subversive cabinet czar Obama has appointed without so much as one minute of vetting in Congress. Obama is no longer the sole problem - he's been a sock puppet since the '08 campaign. The current regime is now infested with Enemies of The State who can inflict massive collateral damage upon us, no matter if Obama was impeached, drawn, quartered, then fed to Alaskan grizzlies. Literally.

5) There is no law when the lawless in charge thumb their noses at it. Holder and his minions at the DOJ must be shut down, and the hierarchy filled with qualified, professional law enforcement officers, not political lackeys and ideological hacks.

Those are just a thumbnail of my Top 5. Obama isn't going to drop off a cliff and disappear overnight. He has to be defanged and humiliated. Those behind his usurpation must be sent scurrying. There has to be a grim resolve shown by the majority that this travesty shall not go unanswered, and that we'll be eternally vigilant to squash any diseased cockroach that threatens to invade our homes, lives, and culture again. We'll take it to the streets. We'll teach it to our children. We'll reclaim our history and put it in our classrooms and public squares, from where it arose and to where it belongs. There's sickness in every quarter of human society, but none so sick as in the mind of a 21st Century Leftist.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Then they need to reverse or repeal those abominations, as well. What I DON'T want to see, is the Republican pushing through some alternate government-run health care system.

A one-page bill: Repeal every piece of legislation, all regulations, and all E.O.s issued since January 19, 2009.

Then, pass amendment to repeal the 16th Amendment, 17th Amendment, 19th Amendment, and the Fed.

Replace slug dimes and quarters with silver dimes and quarters. Issue $20, $10, and $5 gold coins. Allow the market to set the exchange rate between Federal Reserve Fiat Toilet Paper and real money, on a date certain—such as January 1, 2013.

Kill Obamacare, all of it.

Make permanent the Bush tax cuts.

Then start the investigations.

Restore the Bush tax cuts, that is clearly the first thing they will need to do.

Then of course defund/repeal/replace Obamacare.

They can start that by #1 repealing the moronic, stupdendously stupid, inane, insane, etc. 1099 requirement.

Then they need to restore the full sec. 125 (flex-spending) benefit. This is getting cut folks, I wonder how many people even are aware of this?

Then they will need to do something about medicare advantage.

Also, permit purchase of insurance across state lines.

You get the idea.

Not just repeal, REPLACE. and dare the big zero to veto it.

After that, I suppose, a budget might be needed, since the dims didn’t write one.

What next, dismantle the Dept of Ed? Or do we need to wait for our next pubbie/tea party pres for that?

So many ideas, so much to be done....

Defund the UN.

Stop all the nonsense spending (fine, it won’t balance the budget, but it will help).

Investigate the anti-white racist Eric Holder to the full extent available. That man hates white people and everyone knows it.

Ok, those are my ideas for now.

“Term limits? Would be nice!”

Look, the contract with America called for term limits and it was passed. The Supreme Court ruled that unconstitutional, because it put a requirement for service that is not in the constitution.

So, as I understand it (and I’ll stand to be corrected), as of right now there can be no term limits for senators/congressman without a constitutional amendment.

You can do it at the state/local level, but not for federal office (other than pres, as specified in whatever amendment specifies it).

Besides, right now we want to get our strict constitutionalists in there and KEEP them there as long as they remain strict constitutionalists.

The dims had 40 years, we want our 40 years.

Who said anything about that?
When they talk replacement, they’re talking about the freemarket reforms conservatives have been advocating for decades.

The Ted Kennedy HMO Act of 1973 is the source of all of America’s healthcare problems. It destroyed the freemarket, individual choice, accountability, and competition, which increases quality and controls costs.

So yes, real reform is still needed. Repealing 0bamaCare is not enough.
