Even if Republicans take both houses, how will Obamacare be repealed? Obama will still have veto power.

I do understand that the Republican House can withhold funding, but that isn’t “repeal”.

Someone explain it to me in simple terms.

They can cut off funding to the beast. The IRS needs to get more agents to enforce its draconian provisions and won’t get them. So enforcement of the law will be a dead letter. The House has the power of the purse.

I'm an old guy with millions of brain cells dying everyday, so I may have this wrong; it is my understanding that we would like to see the New Congress at least TRY to appeal it, so obama will VETO it.

That will show that conservatives made an effort to stop this onslaught but obama is determined to ruin the greatest healthcare system in the world and heap tons and tons of new taxes and regulations upon us.

obamacare is not about medicine, it's about giving the government total control over every facet of our lives and fortunes.

But, like I said, I may be wrong, but that's the understanding I have of the "repeal" thing.

stupid people

I DO have the answer for you.
There may be a way to thwart this strategy, but I still believe it’s a good one.

Have Congressional staff comb through 0bamacare,
finding the most egregious regulations and freedom encroaching rules.

Put these, INDIVIDUALLY, into repeal bills, and post them on the internet for all to see.
Pass them INDIVIDUALLY, and make 0bama veto them (exposing him), or pass them, repealing egregious parts of the law.

Senators up for re-election in 2012 better see the writing on the wall and vote the will of the people. Some will....I just hope it will be enough.

IMO.....
