Repeal is useless. Court injunction and SCOTUS overturn is a sure bet.
Test away...GOP better start listening to the tea partyers or they will be as extinct as dinosaurs....
Remember: The purpose of a candidate is to get elected. The purpose of an incumbent is to get re-elected.
Borrowed but true...
Like only a Dim can win the MA Senate seat and Scott Brown would have lost if he had opposed Obamacare?
The distracting screaming about racism and violence isn’t helping.
And they wonder why the Tea Party people aren’t necessarily eager to be identified as Republicans.
After 2010 election House has to be pressured into defunding this until 2012
Illinois isn’t really a pickup. It’s that crummy Kirk.
Not one of those on Capitol Hill was unaware that Obama did not need their votes to get this through, and now that political theater no longer demands such a monolithic approach, candidates are already waffling.
Acceptance of this crap will only lead to more of the same ol' same ol'...
If we don't keep their feet to the fire, we're getting chucked under the bus again!
Republican “leadership” wants to get in on the swag from running Big Gov’t - no way they will repeal any of it.
I don’t think our candidates should be in lock step like the dem’s. They should be running on fiscal responsibility, honesty and what they firmly believe. If a candidate is truly conservative, but he doesn’t say “I denounce Obummercare”... it doesn’t mean he won’t attempt to repeal. We can’t just expect every candidate to run on ONE singular issue. There’s a lot of work to do to make sure this Health Care fiasco is undun and a lot of evil to un-do.
Please, get off this “our way or the highway” attitude. It will just cause another DIM to win. Let the conservatives and Republicans win the seats, lets get control of the house and senate and that means the IN-Fighting has got to stop. Dethrone the DIM’s. Period. This is it. We can deal with the RINO’s and slime in the party once we gain our majority again. I mean, if we haven’t learned anything from the Pelosi/Reid team...we are doomed.
“Inching” is what worms do.
In my book, the socialist takeover of the healthcare industry is at the top of that list. The banks, car companies, and student loan programs can come next. Then they need to work on spending, balancing the budget and reducing taxes.
Any candidate that doesn't believe that is their first and only priority (until accomplished) need not even try to get my vote.
Then each state should be financially responsible for their own health care systems. No state should be the piggy bank for another.
Hard to take candy from a big fat progressive selfish baby. But if you show that another baby in the next state is taking advantage of you and getting a little bit more candy than they ‘deserve’, well, watch what happens!
Always looking to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Yes, we conservatives sometimes vote for the lesser of two evils, but more and more conservatives are no longer considering doing that, and will only vote for candidates that will actually support their viewpoints, even if that means third party or simply skipping that portion of the ballot.
While it might make the liberal media warm and fuzzy inside to have two candidates try to out liberal each other, the reality is that elections are supposed to be about choice. Right now, the GOP is intending upon presenting the choice of ‘not quite as bad as they are’, which is a train wreck in the making. Those who support liberal policies will scoff and just vote for the out of the closet liberal, and those who are against them will look at the not quite as liberal candidate and wonder why they even bother voting.
Mind, millions of conservative voters stay home each election day, millions of votes just hanging out there.
Anyone shocked?
The Reps refused to overturn the assault weapons ban or brady bans.....
Their argument is that no entitlement has been repealed before but that’s when people thought they were getting something for nothing.
Not the case here, most people know they’re getting less than they already have for an astronomical price. And the only thing anyone’s really getting for the next few years is steep increases in our premiums, higher taxes from everyone, and the destruction of the greatest healthcare system in the world.
Hasn’t happened yet though and can still be stopped if these damn politicians would just understand that this is NOT politics as usual.
The goal of repeal before 2013 is unrealistic anyway. Even if Republicans regained both houses of Congress, a repeal would be vetoed by Obama anyway.
The BEST legislative strategy to stop ObamaCare is simply for the Congress to REFUSE to authorize any funds for it. Defund it, and it won’t MATTER if it’s on the books. THAT has to the the Republican’s goal between now and 2013.
On the other hand, as others have mentioned, multiple lawsuits, State nullification, and judicial review by the SCOTUS are the better immediate routes. And if somehow ObamaCare gets past all that and the Republicans WERE to fund it — then individual NON-COMPLIANCE would be the next step. That would gum up the works right good....
