Honestly? I expect a lot of grandstanding. If they're smart, the GOP has started to campaign already for 2012 by making the dems go on record as against a repeal. They're going to continue to make this about Princess Pelosi and her Sock Puppet. If any dem (or Republican for that matter) votes against repeal they will be fixing a target to their own chest.
Why does this indicate they have no plans of their own? I saw a lot of GOP proposals that were flat out ignored. Do you think the dems will vote for any that are submitted between now and then?
They weren't "flat out ignored," they were heard and then run by the CBO. None stood up to serious scrutiny. Their authors never did talk too much about them, did they? I'm sure they made sure to tell you they were ignored and thwarted, though.
To paraphrase Jim DeMint, "If the Republicans can't even come up with something valuable to shape the health ins reform act by 2012, it will be their Waterloo. It will break them."
No!! Really!! You didn't KNOW that there is no chance of repeal as long as dingdong sits in the White House? Aren't you aware of what it takes to override a presidential veto? I guess not.
What they can DO is starve obamacare of funds and since most of the mandates don't kick in until 2013-2014, that's just fine.
Obviously, the GOP WILL be running on repealing obamacare for 2012.
I think the GOP will be running on repeal in 2028, they are fast learners.
The Blaze writes, “The reality remains that Republicans do not have enough seats to marshal through a full repeal if Democrats remain steadfast in their support. Even if Republicans were able to sway enough Democrats to support their effort, it would face a certain veto from Obama.”
According to Fox News, “Cognizant of missing a presidential signature, Republicans are still looking at court challenges and other congressional maneuvers to stop enactment of elements of the law.”
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader, asserts that “we’re willing to look at all the varying pieces” if Congress fails to get a veto.

Translation: We do not have the ability to compromise, let alone the creativity to come up with new plans. We didn't the last two years and we don't now. But hey, thanks for letting us and our corporate pals back inside! ! !
My fear:
The GOP congress will take a hard line on all issues and plunge the economy into a severe downturn.

Wrong..
1st, they were NOT run by the CBO
2nd, the CBO numbers were flawed because they BROKE UP THE BILL, in order to make it seem more cost effective
3rd, when the CBO numbers came out unflattering, Democrats ignored the CBO projects and still passed the bill..
I'm not sure who was dumber, those who passed the bill, or those who supported the bill..
I think the GOP will be running on repeal in 2028, they are fast learners.
yeah, because if you havent learned the disastrous effects of the plan by now.. it might take you another 20 years to figure it out.. Sucks to be you I guess..
um.. Obama admitted this to be true.. Are you claiming I cant take obama and the Democrats at their word? Let alone the CBO reports which confirm this to be true.
Where on gods earth have you been during the whole debate about the cost of the bill
I thought this was about repealing the HC bill, but now it is all "Obama this and Obama that".
Thanks for stating the obvious.. In the meantime, the government collects 3 years of excess taxes while giving no benefits back to the payers.. One big tax confiscation of Democrats using "Healthcare" as a farce..
Not necessarily. I think just like defunding the structure and implementation of Obamacare that the taxes implemented under its guise can also be kept from being implemented.

Too late, Dems already did that.
