Then...we’re stuck with it permanently if that’s the case.

I cannot see any scenario where BHO would not veto a repeal of his signature legislation which he views as a great accomplishment.

It would be like FDR signing a repeal of Social Security.

I do not oppose the new Congress voting to repeal Obamacare. But it does not currently have the the votes to override BHO’s veto. That’s all I’m saying.

When we discover that the entire government in D.C. is not going to get rid of ObamaCare, but massage it for public consumption while making it permanent like the Income Tax, then the power to abolish this tyranny is up to the people.

Refuse to comply with it.

Defy it.

And when the tyrants come to force their way upon us - hopefully there are enough Americans who love liberty to make those agents of the state consider if their lives are worth imposing tyranny upon a people who will not bow down to it.

Lives, fortunes, sacred honor.

How many Americans are left who will be willing to sacrifice the same as our forbears in refusal to submit to tyranny?

There are still a lot of democrat senators in Red States that will be up for election in 2016. You don't know if some of them would not vote to repeal Obamacare. Neither Obama nor Reid have any leverage on them now.

Regardless, an up or down vote on repeal was what McConnell and the other Republicans who won were running on. Now they are too chicken to follow through with their promised agenda. And guys like you are cheering them on.

And people are ragging on me because I am a cynic.
