What is this? More political theater?
The Obamcare repeal will never pass the Senate, or override Obama’s veto. What is the point?

So defund, defund, defund! Don’t let them buy a paperclip or a pencil to implement Obamacare.

DEFUND. Defund the Dept of Justice if they do not run it properly.

Ummm, it may be political theater in outting, documenting, and hopefully blacklisting those who are against repealing Obamacare.

Furthermore, there is no reason why both courses of action cannot be taken.

The point is to rally the troops, generate enthusiasm, see where everyone stands, and terrify the enemy.

It’s good, it’s excellent, and may the new R majority House scare the s*** out of RINOS and Dems.

Obamacare must be repealed and it must be seen to be repealed. This starts now.

We pass a straight-up repeal in the House and force every Representative to take a side. (Then in 2012 we run against everyone who voted to retain Obamacare on this issue.)

We do the same in the Senate. Again all Senators must choose a side and run for re-election on their vote.

Then we defund and block Obamacare in every possible way between now and 2012.

In 2012 we run in all races (House, Senate, POTUS) on the platform that we will repeal Obamacare 100%.

I honestly don't know why you call this "political theater". It just seems like representative democracy to me.

They can’t just defund bills already passed and signed into law. So long as Obamao is president, GOP can’t pass anything without a veto override which is impossible in senate.

To identify the "stalwart RINOS" so they can be targeted in primaries next time they face election. Defunding is also a good and needed tactic, but the Bachmann's vote requirement is also good.

Don't mean to sound calloused but if you don't see the point by now then no amount of explaining will do you any good.
