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.
Obamacare May Not Be Repealed Until 2012 (http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/politics/5119-obamacare-may-not-be-repealed-until-2012 - broken link)
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! ! !
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?
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..

Thats right.. democrats wont compromise while letting their corporate insider back in. You are finally getting it..
If the Republicans don't fund the creation of this clusterbleep of a Federal government org chart through the appropriations bills of the respective agencies involved in the clusterbleep, there won't be any Obamacare:
Nice crystal ball you got there. Toshiba? I think Apple needs to get in the crystal ball business before it is too late.
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 believe they said 2013, not 2012. Let's see what they will say in 2013. They tend to forget what they said to get elected.
As opposed to Democrats who remember everything their candidate said, and repeat it non stop, even when their actions are opposite of what they promised..
Obama, no new taxes, shhh, lets not discuss the $650B in new taxes passed.. Obama SAID no taxes, so those other ones dont count..
Ruh-roh! "Obamacare May Not Be Repealed Until 2012"
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.
