I am stunned by how many conservative voters do not know basic Civics. Any repeal of Healthcare Reform Law is impossible, and the GOP lied to voters that they could do it. Even if GOP won both the House AND the Senate, repeal of HCR is impossible, because of President Obama's Constitutional veto powers. Now any phoney repeal endeavors by the House would be blocked by the Senate, and President Obama will never even have to veto such a bill.
I guess as usual, you haven't been listening. They can't repeal it yet, but they can defund certain aspects of the law. If the "new" departments don't have the money to exist, they won't. There will be a huge fight - will obama shut down the government as he refuses to sign the budget bills coming out of congress that exclude funds for obamacare?
Of course you ignore the constitutional provision for over riding a veto, right? Try not reading only the parts that give you a warm fuzzy and strive for the truth. For once.
^ True but higly unlikely that the House can get the Senate to overturn a veto. Nothing is going to get done.
A civics lesson is in order I see. Whether the senate can overturn a veto is not dependent on the house "talking" the senate into going along. Both chambers need 2/3 rds of voting members to override a veto.
Oh, TP'ers. Your wishes and hopes are all sweet and lovely, but you let your uglier sensibilities be exploited and now you see you were bait-and-switched.

Toldja!
Toldja what?
We've talked about this plenty of times on this board.
I guess you haven't learned the lesson yet. Take note of my posts.

Toldja to look up news and information somewhere responsible, NOT at the RW hate-blogs, and to turn off the Fox Channel. You didn't do it because you needed the hate and distractions the RW media fed you. And now look. Way to go.
Go back and read your original post. That is not even close to what you posted.
That's because I'm explaining the obvious!
What the heck do you think we have been trying to spare you from all these months? What GOP has been doing is pulling the wool over the conservative voters eyes, AGAIN
