Now that it passes it becomes more difficult for the republican party to stay united in campaigning repealing it. It was easy for RINOs to oppose passage, but now republicans wont agree on which parts to campaign on repealing. On the other hand democrats will just talk about the goodies given away, most go into effect 4 years from now.
On a brighter side, one of the amendments Senate republicans will make democrats vote down is defunding Viagra for convicted sex offenders, Unless dems vote down the amendment, the house would have to vote on the bill again. Otherwise they go on record FOR funding it. The idea is to put Senate democrats in amendment hell. The bad side is, Dems only need 40 votes to defeat them.
....what is so striking for me is that our Gov. Representatives have to even deal with such issues as Viagra. What kind of nation have we become! Read today of high school facilitating young girls abortion .... advising and setting up the procedure, parents never advised or informed. No common sense used today.
Only 40 votes to to defeat amendments? if so then the most these will do is stall until the elections...and that is a good thing if it works...however can't they stop this if they see the republicans are using this as a stall tactic?
