GOP battle cry: Repeal Obamacare, cut spending

On Sept. 23 last week, 12 Republican House members stood in a hardware store in Sterling, Va., and issued a Pledge to America.

As for Obamacare, a few months ago Republican leaders were reluctant to call for repeal. They may have feared that Nancy Pelosi and Bill Clinton were right when they predicted the legislation would become more popular when passed. Or they may have been wary of sounding extreme.

But now they're squarely for repeal. It turns out to be a stand most Republican primary voters demand and most general election voters support.

The majority of the voters are behind repealing Obamacare and cutting spending -- if Republicans stick to these two major issues, they can get the independents, then once they are a majority, they can tackle the other issues.

If those two things are done and done soon our economy will be toast.

I forgot to add: Do NOT raise taxes — make the Bush tax cuts permanent.

Did you leave out the word not?

How about framing our position with this?:

Because none of that other bullshit means a thing without standing up to tyranny and calling it what it is. They have a platform now....big deal. How about making the platform about fighting for Liberty and pointing out what we’ve lost under this regime instead of what the republicans are going to restore?

Sheesh.

Terrific video!

Thanks for posting it.

Actually, this seems to be the Tea Party battle cry, not necessarily the GOP battle cry. There are still enough RINOs too timid to defeat ObamaCare and really don’t have the nerve to cut spending either.

[Outlaw Woman]

Powerful isn't it? I hope you will forward it because that's what we are fighting. All this other b.s. is from those people and the American public needs to see it framed that way. imo

Stay the F#ck out of lumber yards/hardware stores!

Stay in DC and get the damn thing DONE!

If government isnt cut, any spending cuts will be cosmetic and fleeting. The beast must be culled back fast and violently.

Ronaldus Maximus bump!

I still get teary eyed watching him. God how we miss him!

[TigersEye]

It would appear that I did. Rat’s tuckus!

[reasonisfaith]

Can we also repeal the 16th Amendment, establish the Fair Tax and congressional term limits, please?

[rockinqsranch]

Let’s get elected first!

This news just broke today. There is a 3.8% tax on all unearned income in Obama's Health Care Plan including the sale of homes, condos, etc. If you sale your home for $100,000, you pay a Medicare Tax of $3,800 and it goes to ObamaCare. Check it out here:

FOLKS IF WE CAN GET THIS WORD OUT, IT WILL BE WORTH ANOTHER 2% POINTS NATIONWIDE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.

Well, I've heard of a double post before, but this appears to be a double paste.

[cubreporter]

If they run on repealing the health care debacle...they will WIN!!!!!

And they better make sure to point out what’s in the Obamacare bill, BEFORE the election — many people have no idea.
