The House voted again to repeal Obamacare, and some people are making a big deal of it because it’s like the 33rd time, but I hope we do it many more times. Perhaps if Romney is elected, the next time could lead to the actual repeal, but I hope they keep doing more votes to repeal it even after that. Except after they’re done, they’ll be like, “Oh, wait; we already repealed that awful legislation and it was awesome.” And then Congress will have a good laugh. Maybe we can make an annual thing of it, so like a hundred years from now we’ll vote once again to repeal Obamacare just to remember what an awful law it was and how we don’t want crap like that here in America.
They need to keep voting and keep reporting on who voted yay and who voted nay so that on election day when people go to the polls they know exactly who has the country best interest at heart.
Once we get rid of it we can go on to preventing it. Like Constitutional amendments:
1) Bills with taxing power have to come from the House, not the Senate, and we mean it!!!!!!!
2) Forget the commerce clause. Each state do what you want, except for printing money.
3) You can burn a flag if you let us punch your stupid hippie face. In fact, burning a flag removes your right to protection under the law.
4) All bills that come to more that thirty pages (letter-sized, double-spaced, 12 point Helvetica Roman, one side) are instantly unconstitutional.
5) Only bills that call appropriations taxes are allowed to be considered taxes. Everything else is unconstitutional.
6) Buy your own health care and food, losers.
A little Republican leadership would go a long way in driving home the PR battle and putting more pressure on democrats who go on record supporting this government takeover.
Son of Bob.
Well, it’s a good thing we’ve got a little Republican leader then….
House Republicans are happy to vote on repeal. However, House Republicans refuse to defund hiring a zillion IRS agents to enforce it. They have the power to defund it, but they won’t. That tells you all you need to know. Republicans want it around for the next ten years to run against. They don’t want to actually kill it. Prepare to be disappointed yet again in Republicans. Talk is cheap, but when push comes to shove, they aren’t actually conservative.
Spot on, Cardin.
Mxymaster, amend #3, the proper way to dispose of an American Flag is by burning in a ceremony. I’verightamore taken part in many. The difference is respect and reverence for the flag and what it stands for. After all, you wouldn’t want every BSA, VFW, and American Legion member to loose rights and be punched in the face.
Well, yes, Ray, official flag disposal with proper respect is obviously not the work of slovenly monkey-faced hippies, so naturally those folks will be exempted in the amendment. The others will get punched some more just to make up for it.
I just wanted to make sure that distinction was made. The ones doing it out if respect don’t want to burn the flag but they do it because its the right thing to do. The others do it for attention.
That’s thirty-three more than the number of budgets that Democrats have voted for in the past three years (some have come up for a vote, but they’ve lost unanimously, or pretty close, in the Senate).
