McConnell: I'll repeal Obamacare as majority leader
By SEUNG MIN KIM | 6/29/12 3:12 PM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared Friday that repealing the health care law would top his priority list if he controls the chamber come 2013.

“If [Mitt] Romney is in the White House and I am the majority leader of the Senate, I assure you repeal of Obamacare is the first item on the agenda,” McConnell on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Friday.

By using a budget process called reconciliation, a theoretical Senate GOP majority could successfully vote to repeal the law with just 51 votes, rather than a filibuster-proof 60. Republicans need to pick up four seats to win control of the Senate, or three if Romney wins the White House.

Agreed!

This war isn't over, the final battle will be fought in Nov. and we still can win this.

Yes, he is showing that the GOP is going to run on this issue.

If they win and don't do it, then we can take appropriate action.

Sign it live across America, and then cut your palm to seal it in blood. And then agree to wear a modified ankle bracelet, except this one shocks the wearer when they fall short on a campaign promise.

A lot of strong talk. But where is the action? He’s just trying to con us into voting for Republicans so we can have ruling class Republicans continue to suppress the Tea Party Republicans. And oh yea, appoint more justices like John Roberts to the Supreme Court. No thanks.

There IS the pesky fact that Dims control the Senate and Dirty Harry won't even let a vote on anything he doesn't love as much as Queen Nancy likes her botox and mood-enhancers...
