It wouldn't matter that Obama would veto it. It would further isolate the POS, further de-legitimize the ACA and set the GOP up for greater gains two years hence.
So why don't they?
The lib press is so used to picking the candidates and setting the agenda that they just can’t help themselves anymore.
Well, they don’t — they don’t push for accountability (look at Fast & Furious, the NSA, or the IRS scandals); they don’t push for fiscal responsibility (remember the “shutdown” and debt-ceiling); they don’t push for anti-abortion candidates (ex.

Given that sort of a reputation — what DO they have to run on?
* There’s only a few national-level Republicans that I’d say have /any/ intention about sticking to the stated platform: Gowdy and Cruz are the two that spring to mind for me.
And yet given a chance, Harry Reid - probably the most vulnerable and hated Senator in 2010, beat Angle by 5 points and retained the seat for Democrats.
No amount of scandals and obnoxious Democrats are going to help us win if we don't nominate good candidates.
You can count on the media to cover for the left as they always do, the question is will we nominate electable candidates and get out from behind the keyboard and turn out to vote in larger numbers than the liberals? Right now I think we have a 50/50 shot of taking the Senate and putting some bills on Obama's desk he'll be uncomfortable vetoing.
What issues do they have to run on? They have given up on social issues and fiscal issues. They are for ACA and the same immigration laws that Democrats are for. They have ceded foreign policy to Democrats. Why would Boehner claim someone should vote for Republicans?
No.
They are propagandists who dare not state the obvious.
And ‘rats do? - running on Obamacare sure didn’t work out for them in Penna tonight - Schwartz, who boasted in her ads that she helped write the law came in a weak second to Wolf for the governor’s race nomination - and the woman doctor who ran to fill Schwartz’s old district office and bragged that she helped get the law passed, well she came in fourth out of four candidates......
