[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

As much as I would like to see the entire Obamacare law fully repealed, last I checked BHO still wields a veto pen.

The best we can do right now is chip away at it piece by piece. And not fund it.

Until a new POTUS is elected.

Ya gotta make the move first...get all the remaining Dems on record in the new term as for it, so leading in to 2016, as prices go up and doctors become scarce, it’s clear who is responsible.

I agree. After sending a bill for full repeal attack some of the back parts individually, and before the term ends, write a bill of true reform and send it to his desk, which undoes the main damage and reforms the system in a positives way. (essentially, the repeal/replace). He signs it (unlikely), Hallelujah. He vetoes it, the ‘16 candidate picks up that bill and runs to victory.

He can still veto the budget bill, provided they actually pass a budget for the first time in 6 years

Obama can use his veto pen on all the little pieces too.

McConnell is playing politics. He has no intention of repealing this enormous federal taxing scheme.

That's just the problem: Obama will veto "chip-aways" as readily as he will veto any "wholesale repeal", in any case... so why not do the right thing (i.e. repeal the whole bloody thing), and let the people SEE that you're doing the right thing? Too many instances of "let's display proper 'comity' and be discreet about nibbling away at unobtrusive, not-so-inflammatory corners", and the GOP voters will turn away in disgust at what they see (rightly) to be mere cowardice and/or complicity.

My recommendation: vote clearly, vote decisively, and vote boldly, and let the other side do what it will. Any hopes of "working with the other side" died decades ago... and it's been given a full state funeral under this particular regime.

If the GOP does what's right 100% of the time, more voters will vote more GOP (and not GOPe) candidates into office, and the positive feedback loop will go on. If not, then the whole machine will conk.

Right on cue.

You Apologists and Party Hacks for the Ruling Class Establishment are so damn predictable.

We had this talking point nailed as the excuse that would be sold for surrender and do-nothingness BEFORE the election. Yet you guys continued the attempts to intimidate, shame and castigate those who refused to hold their noses and vote for your Establishment Fascists.

Just like the liberals for the Democrats, the liberals in the GOP will always come up with excuses for their overt treason to the Conservative cause.

I would first force the Democrats to vote for it again.

It doesn’t take all that many defectors to make it veto proof.

And a lot democrats DO NOT want to go on record voting for it again - especially now.

[Ray76]

And what will be the excuse then, “some parts of it are good”?

[Fledermaus]

I disagree. Repeal it in full and let him veto it. Over and over and over. The people hate it in droves - upwards of 75-80%. Let Obama piss them off.

Everytime he vetoes the repeal Hillary loses 5 points in 2016!

I don't agree. Obama doesn't have to run again, but all the congresscritters and Senators have to.

I think the votes will be there for overriding parts of OC.

Agreed. Small steps, small steps, just like the anti-gun crowd does.
