The House has passed 40 anti-Obamacare bills.

Symbolic resolutions/bills/votes at best.

They have the power of the purse and could have defunded it at any time but lacked the backbone, guts, courage, will, whatever, to do it.

Those 40 bills are absolutely useless and are representative of the Collaberators game they are playing, say a lot of things to fool the rubes/conservatives at home to get their votes, but refuse to do what they know will actually fix the problem.

[what's up]

You can de-fund it...and then what kind of legislation will you get thru the Senate to turn it back to the free market.

TORT reform, Medicare reform, transactions across state lines...NONE will pass.

So insurance companies will still continue to drop people because the ACA mandates will STILL BE IN PLACE...just not funded.

Makes no sense.

You whine about symbolic winning in the House. Boehner did what you wanted and it crashed and burned in the Senate just as many knew it would.

Politics is the art of the possible.

You refuse to to grasp the point

I know conservatives enjoy whining because they are not winning but the simple fact is there is inadequate conservative political power to prevail.

The current battles are but skirmishes, raids against an impenetrable fortress. The real battles will be fought on better ground at a selected time. We can rejoice at the battle on that day when adequate forces are directed at a very narrow defensive point and prevail.
