Am I missing something here, or is there some magical way to get a bill through the Senate without 60 votes, and then get it past Obama without a veto?

I’m all ears once people are done with their meltdown.

Unfortunately Senator McConnell is correct about the legislative math involved in repealing Obamacare. Republicans would have to have 67 principled conservative votes. Given the pubbie lineup in the senate in the foreseeable future, repeal really isn't going to happen anytime soon, as depressing as that fact may be.

Mitch McConnell could go nuclear to get a repeal vote in the senate, but he has no balls, like all RINOs and RINO apologists.

Didn’t Reid go with 51 votes?

Just stop funding Obamacare. Cut the budget. No more continuing resolutions.

Show some leadership or elect a new leader. Find someone who knows how to run the government and get positive conservative things done.

Let’s have a showdown with the incompetent Obama administration!

Explain how government should solve problems instead of hiding behind weak leaders.

That’s a simple question to answer. Start with the least popular areas obamacare and pass bills to repeal them. For example, pass the Vitter amendment and put it on obama’s desk. Let him try to veto that one.

Conservatives are ready for this battle. Let us know when cheese eating surrender monkey CINOs care to engage the rampaging Dems.

Mark Levin was talking about this tonight, with audio clips of McConnell from 2 years ago.

McConnell said that since Obamacare was ruled a tax and passed via reconciliation with only a majority vote, it can be repealed the same way.

Of course today, he's saying the opposite because that's what he does. Talk is deemed to be just as good as actually doing.

Is there any way the president can fund his projects with out congress? No there isn't.
