Dear Readers,
I’ve read a lot of online conservative responses to the passage of Obamacare. A lot of them are angry. A lot of them are unrealistic. There’s a lot of tea-partiers going around saying “Repeal the bill immediately! Storm the White House and tear up the law!”
But the problem is, repeals are hard to do. Amendments to previous laws are more common. Repeals rarely happen, and if they do happen, it takes a really long time.
Unfortunately, President Obama has the power to veto a repeal, and we’ve got him in office for at least another 2 years and something something days. I think a ¾ supermajority can overturn a presidential veto, but I don’t know if we can get that many repeal votes in Congress. Plus the process takes a long time.
Realistically, I think we need to win back Republican majorities in the legislative branch this November, and then we need to put Republicans in charge of the executive branch in 2012. I’m thinking Mitt Romney for President and either Ted Nugent or the corpse of Ronald Reagan for Vice President.
After we have conservative Republican majorites in Congress and a conservative Republican in the White House, repealing Obamacare should be a walk in the park.
But if we don't get enough conservative Republicans elected in the upcoming elections, we're stuck with Obamacare forever and pretty soon we'll all be just like the Communist USSR, except with slightly milder winters.
And now if you want to read a more educated article from someone who really knows more about politics than me then click on the link that leads to the place where a good article is for you and these are the words that you need to click on for the article to magically appear on your computer screen. It’s by Dick Morris, a great American.
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

Amen.
I read your Obamacare posting. I agree with the Dick Morris article and have linked to it on my blog. There is a video I posted that shows just how the politicians dance around the issues.
Looks like we may need to "reform the reform."
Check it out. http://cmonfolks.blogspot.com/
