"Can you say, “repeal?” The problem with repeal is if the Republicans actually get control of the House and Senate, and pass a bill repealing Obama-care , then Obama can veto it. Sending it back to the House and Senate, where a 2/3 majority has to vote to override it. 2/3 in both houses, That means 290 Representatives, and 66 Senators."

There's ANOTHER way to stop this in 2011.

A GOP House could refuse to fund any of it. Of course, the Senate would refuse the the House bill in conference and the Prez would refuse to sign such a spending bill.

This would set up another "gridlock" episode circa 1995.

then, the real fight starts.

Don’t forget that by refusing to fund it, it then becomes a budgetary issue... therefore ‘reconciliation’ can be used to drop the voting requirements down to a simple majority.

See, the Democraps did teach me something!
