Who will that be then?

Who are these rinos that will be voting for Obamacare?

I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

and a Republican house, senate and president repeal it.

Well, we can dream. I wonder what they would do differently beyond this?

The two most likely to vote for it--Snowe and Collins--have said they would not. I think this time the Republican leadership is keeping the members in line.

Snowe and Collins are Senators.  They voted against it on Christmas Eve, albeit they were leaning towards it as I recall.

I do not believe any Republican Congressmen will vote for it.

Is there a difference? 

In theory, sorta yes.  In practice, no.

Besides Urban Dictionary, I can't find a reference to that nickname anywhere on the 'net, and have never heard it.  Please refer to the forum rules stickied at the top of the board.

I don't see it as being disrespectful but it is kind of out of date.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

There exists is only one suitable response to those who voted to pass this abomination.

Ain't done yet, I think.  Still needs to be reconciled into one document and voted on again.

We can work on repealing it, work like hell, but Inor knows the truth of the matter.  This stuff just doesn't go away.

Even if it 'can be repealed', working like hell to repeal such a bill has costs all of its own, plus the bill must be suffered in the meantime.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Motion to send it back to committee.  Forced another recorded vote.

Whatever their position, nobody is going to be able to duck responsibility on this issue.

I thought the article linked on Drudgereport.com said the Repubs were unanimous against.

Not a single Republican has voted for this bill.

Quite the era of cooperation Obama ushered in. Democrats and Republicans united.... against him.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

First it has a huge court battle. 38 states already have briefs prepared to file in court the second this obomination passes.....

Isn't that enough to pass a Constitutional Amendment? Of course the sorts of other things that can come out of a Con Con might not be at all pleasant.

I think I've read elsewhere (and possibly mentioned on this board before) that we were only a couple of states away from being able to call a Constitutional Convention.

I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want the current crop of politicians to have a chance like that.

If there is a another Constitutional Convention, and something like the "Second Bill of Rights" is passed, saying what I am going to do at the point would violate Forum Rules.

There are two Americas, and they are pulling apart more and more everyday: one producing the wealth and paying the bills and playing by the rules, the other feeding off the first.  Anyone who thinks these two Americas can be united, reconciled, harmonized at this point is smoking the funny stuff, repeating bromides spread by the propagandameisters.  There is one and only PRACTICAL answer: divorce.  Anything else is predicated on a vision of an America that disappeared at least two decades ago.  It is time for Americans to take a head count, get clear about who they are and what they believe, and vow not to aid, abet, or, most importantly, subsidize their enemies any longer.

I'm going to sit and wait until I'm issued my Juden star, my guns are taken away, and a piece of the sky hits me on the head.

I've been waiting since all my liberal friends said it would happen when GWB was re-elected in 2005, and all my conservative friends said it'd happen when Obama was elected in 2008.
