Oh you liberal loonies are such an amusement on July 4th. Kinda like watching dogs freak out from the fireworks barking at the sky.Well that's just good common sense regardless of whether Obamatax was allowed or not.Vote out all the democrats and give President Romney a majority.
"Obamatax?"
HILARIOUS!!
The only thing your party has to run on is some faux Boston Tea Party rebellion mentality!
Didn't work in 2008 and BARELY had an effect in 2010!
yeah, because people surly can't see things for themselves.
Not right wingers, they obediently do what they are told.
Like the left? But then Conservatives follow the LAW. We are a nation of Laws, not of men. Something YOU obviously have zero regard for.
Learn it, Live it, Know it.

You couldn't care less about the law. Who are you kidding.
^^Has no clue.
Why does the right wing think they will be able to repeal the ACA?
Both Romney and Obama support the individual mandate. So no matter who wins, you'll need a 2/3 vote in both houses to override their veto.
In fact, I don't see why the thing is even such a big issue, considering both major candidates support it.

maybe the mandate penalty tax can be repealed using reconciliation, but the Health Care Bill Can not be, without 60 votes in the senate...period. and congress will have their hands full repealing those tax penalties and not the bill itself, because they have to balance the budget or the health care bill...i believe it has to be "paid for", so they have to add taxes somewhere else to make up for the loss of the mandate Penalty tax.....at least this is how I view it.Byrd Rule
Further information: Sunset provision: The Budget Act and the Byrd Rule
Reconciliation generally involves legislation that changes the budget deficit (or conceivably, the surplus). The "Byrd Rule" (2 U.S.C. § 644, named after Democratic Senator Robert Byrd) was adopted in 1985 and amended in 1990 to outline which provisions reconciliation can and cannot be used for. The Byrd Rule defines a provision to be "extraneous" (and therefore ineligible for reconciliation) in six cases:
if it does not produce a change in outlays or revenues;
if it produces an outlay increase or revenue decrease when the instructed committee is not in compliance with its instructions;
if it is outside the jurisdiction of the committee that submitted the title or provision for inclusion in the reconciliation measure;
if it produces a change in outlays or revenues which is merely incidental to the non-budgetary components of the provision;
if it would increase the deficit for a fiscal year beyond those covered by the reconciliation measure; and
if it recommends changes in Social Security.
Any senator may raise a procedural objection to a provision believed to be extraneous, which will then be ruled on by the Presiding Officer, customarily on the advice of the Senate Parliamentarian. A vote of 60 senators is required to overturn the ruling
.
It was passed as a reconciliation bill, therefore there is no prospect for a filibuster. The Senate Presiding Officer will so rule (assuming we can get the Dims into the minority position, of course). The Parliamentarian will so advise.
And there is NO need to worry about a filibuster since it has now been declared a fucking TAX bill.
There is no need for a super majority of 3/5ths or 2/3rds. A simple majority will suffice.
Indeed, if Romney wins, his VP will cast the deciding vote.
It will be repealed.
Period.

More childish behaviour. I know it is a holiday, but from your posts today you must have been hitting the bottle pretty early in the day.
How was the entire bill passed in the first place?
With 60 votes in the Senate.

Obamacare won't be repealed, even if Romney wins. They don't have the guts or political will to remove kids with pre-existing conditions from insurance, kick 25 year olds off their parents insurance or cause seniors to lose their $600 drug benefit.

Mitch McConnell seems to think he can repeal the ACA with 51 votes. Assuming he is the Senbate majority leader and Romney is in the WH. That would mean at least a 50-50 split, no?
