OK folks, this is my prediction: Harry will act like he cannot stop the repeal vote in the Senate and the Senate will approve the repeal. Then Obama will complain, but will eventually sign the repeal. No veto.
What makes me say this? Because the fix is in!
And guys like Mitch McConnell are part of it. The media is part of it...
This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing Obama and Democrats. It will take the spotlight off the exemptions and the added taxes. It allows Obama to claim that things have changed from 2008 and that he is just doing the will of the people by signing the repeal. His signature on the repeal will make him appear as a centrist. And most of all … it deals a major blow to the Tea Parties.
Without Obamacare, the Tea Parties will lack a central issue to demonize Obama and Democrats in 2012. Then if Obama actually cuts government spending and deficits, the wind will be taken totally out of the Tea Parties’ sails.
The old line guys like McConnell don’t want the Tea Parties. They can’t control them (remember that McConnell wanted to continue earmarks until the Tea Parties pressured him). So of course McConnell is cooperating with Reid and Obama to use methods for repeal that make it look like Reid cannot not stop it...
Republicans and Democrats all get things that they want … and most of all; they all get rid of the Tea Parties. Without this going to the Supreme Court, Americans are the ones who lose. How will we the people find out the limitations of Congress?
What a bunch of con men!

The chances of things playing out the way the author described is somewhere around zero. Maybe a little less. lol
That metal hat seems to have slipped down around you neck, and cut off the air to your brain, you seem to be having delusions.
they’ll trick us by giving us everything we want. that’ll larn us, dadgummit!
regardless of the reasoning, i think the senate will vote for repeal and bambi will let it go through
“This action will keep Obamacare from going to the Supreme Court and potentially embarrassing Obama and Democrats..... His signature on the repeal will make him appear as a centrist.”
Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to Obama to have the legislation repealled with his signature on it?
Well.
Nice prediction but I don’t give them that much credit. Besides there are a lot more things the Tea Party stand for. They are not a one issue movement. At least with me.
Smile
God bless my friend
Agreed - even if this happened, the Tea Party movement is far more that just obama-care repeal
This is so scary that I wish I were 10,000 feet high, 1,000 feet wide and armed with some really scary atomic weapons.
I don’t think Obama would ever sign it.
Why would 0bama prefer to be embarrassed by a repeal bill passing the house and senate over being embarrassed by the bill being voided by the courts?
And IMO repeal will fill the tea party’s sails with wind, not deflate them. Why would a major victory towards less government be viewed as deflating?
Without Obamacare, the Tea Parties will lack a central issue to demonize Obama
Total B.S. There’s still a $trillion deficit. There’s still The department of Education, Agriculture department, etc etc etc.
They CAN’T kill the Tea Party.
So the great Democratic suicide banzai charge was all for this? I don’t think so.
I'd lay wager on that. In fact I'd put up $100,000 that the tea party will grow beyond anybody's expectations.
LOL more like a Brier fox bramble patch moment.
Are you kidding?
Forcing Obama to go back and reverse his own crappy “signature legislation” would be a breathtaking success for the Tea Party - which is why I won’t be holding my breath for it to happen.
Do you honestly think these politicians give one rat turd what we think or do? No way will this scenario play out because there is no money in it for them. The longer they can stretch this out the more money they can accrue for themselves. Besides, this scenario is way too close to doing the right thing.
I think you are giving them way too much credit. Dems will fight for BambiCare - they’ve got too much political capital invested in it.
