No it isn't. But feel free to keep going with that propaganda, it helps give the GOPe cover for not doing what they were elected to do.
I agree that we don’t have the votes to override a presidential veto. I don’t agree that we shouldn’t try to repeal ObamaCare.
First, is simple honesty. It was PROMISED. It should be tried. If I promise the people 2 chickens in every pot, I should at least set up a chicken distribution system. Otherwise, it isn’t Marlowe who is being cynical; it’s all those who say ‘it’s just politics, we don’t really have to follow through.’ Now THAT’S cynicism.
Second, we should try it because it might actually succeed. It really is a big gawdawful mess and there might be politicians out there aching to get rid of it and have it off their ledger of responsibility. You’ll never know until you try. EVEN Obama might secretly be wishing he could ditch that piece of junk. He’d need some way to save face, but so did Chewbacca.
Third, we should go for the whole ball of wax, because that sets the stage for going after smaller pieces. If you start by telling me you’re taking a thousand bucks from me, imagine how relieved I’ll be if you just take 40 cents. If you start with something small and get to screaming and squealing about that, then you’ve make the road to the whole thing impossible.
