No bill is going to get past Reid.
Two reasons:
1: G.O.P. = Give Obama Power
and
2: RomneyCARE = ObamaCARE = HillaryCARE
Remember 2012 ? That should be the theme of any conservative running against the GOPES (gop elite snobs) that’s been in office. This is what they did http://www.theusmat.com/ and didn’t do.
Including mentioning disposing of GOD (and suggest the answer as to the question why the democrats in name only are such liars) at their national convention
So threatened Dems can say in their campaign ads that they tried to “fix” ObamaCare. Really…..Boehner has to be blackmailed by the Democrats to go for this fig leaf scheme. He can’t really be this stupid, can he?
Huh? Fail? We need to chop this tree down, and this looks like an attempt to knock a few branches off.
Why is that a bad thing?
Grasshopper, you are beginning to understand...
All we should hear from Repubs on Obamacare is “repeal, repeal, repeal.” Yet we almost never hear it. What idiots.
Rip it out.
Just see my tag line for the reason why.
Uniparty Ping.
Why they didn’t just defund everything Obamacare is beyond comprehension. I can only conclude that the HOR ‘pubs want Obamacare, just with a bigger chunk of the dollars going to their paymasters.
I don’t generally approve of sleaze, but in the case of saving America from ObamaCare, I’m all for anything that works. I hope someone clever in a GOP-e leader’s staff is planning a trick “let’s vote to repeal this narrow list of sections of the PPACA and save the law” but the final draft will be modified just before the vote to include the same list but somewhere in the middle a passage for the repeal of sections 2711 through 10909 of the PPACA” (the whole terrible law).
Otherwise taking just the most offensive clauses out of this uniformly evil law is a maliciously stupid idea - far too dumb to be an accident.
The chances of repealing prior to 2017 are exactly 0%. All other discussion is purely a thought exercise.

Former Washington Park trustee and St. Clair County probation officer, 39-year-old Darron A. Suggs, was sentenced to five years of probation Tuesday and ordered to pay $64,867 in restitution to the Illinois Department of Human Services.

The GOP is really in a tough position on this one - the old adage of the best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it to the letter applies, but at the same time, the effects of this particular law are devastating and there’s a very real desire to grant as much relief as possible until it can be repealed (or altered to the point where it is effectively repealed).
I don’t envy them trying to find the right middle ground between the two, although it may be made easier by the fact that Reid will simply ignore anything that passes the House, bi-partisan or not.
IF they want to be the party of stupid, they’ll have to do it without us conservatives. Good luck with that.
