Bachmann: ‘There Needs To Be an Insurrection’ Against GOP Leaders If They Don’t Hold Straight Vote to Repeal Obamacare

[Enten]

Good! Let’s see who clearly stands where. Take names.

[onyx]

WOO-HOO!

RIGHT ON, MICHELE BACHMANN!!!

[devere]

What is this? More political theater?
The Obamcare repeal will never pass the Senate, or override Obama’s veto. What is the point?

So defund, defund, defund! Don’t let them buy a paperclip or a pencil to implement Obamacare.

[Frantzie]

Bachmann has more gits then 10 Cantors. She is the real deal as is Allan West, Issa and a few others in the House. Ben Quayle also looks promising.

[Enterprise]

Before Boehner and company start messing with the health care system, they should deal with a whole host of other things first. Maybe they should wait until 2012 before they start looking into the health care laws they want to enact.

[Bosco]

There needs to be another march on D.C. in 2011 to drive home the point if things don’t drastically change in keeping with the mandate this Congress has been given.

[Conservative Tsunami]

Me likey feisty conservative. Is Bachmann the House Whip?

But it also means she'll never be President :-(

[Bratch]

House Speaker-to-be John Boeher’s office provided a more ambiguous answer. CNSNews.com asked via email: “Is John Boehner committed to having the House of Representatives hold a straight up-or-down vote on the complete repeal of Obamacare that does not tie that repeal to any other policy or initiative or seek to ‘replace’ Obamacare with some other type of health-care reform?”

“We have pledged to America that we will vote to repeal ObamaCare, and we will,” Boehner Spokesman Michael Steel responded by email.

“Yes, but will it be in a straight up-or-down vote that is not tied to any ‘replacement’ policies or anything else?” CNSNews.com asked, seeking clarification.

“We will have a vote to repeal ObamaCare. I can’t be any clearer than that,” said Steel via email.

CNSNews.com again asked: “But will it be an independent, stand-alone vote on repealing Obamacare in it’s entirety without in the same vote approving some other policy changes such as health-care reforms meant to ‘replace’ Obamacare?”

Boehner Spokesman Steel did not respond to this query.

Calling for insurrection within an established order gets you hung.

Simple as that.

[marron]

I agree. They need to force a vote to repeal.

And I agree with others, that following that, the next step is to de-fund it.

In fact, de-funding should be the weapon of choice.

Does EPA want to police CO2? Defund them until everyone sees reason. Does the president really want to ban drilling? Defund the Energy Department until cooler heads prevail. Does FCC really want to police the internet? Do they really want Limbaugh to give equal time to some Democrat? Defund. Endowment for the Arts wants to pay for blasphemous junk with our money? They should be defunded just as a matter of course. In fact, that shouldn’t even be a ploy, it should be absolute and final. Corporation for Public Broadcasting? We shouldn’t be subsidizing Soros projects. Defund, absolutely and definitively.

Repubs who go weak in the knees should be noted for later disposal at the earliest opportunity.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

It would seem on the surface at least that cantor got the message LIMA CHARLIE.We will see.

[fish hawk]

What’s not to love about this wonderful woman? Presidential material for sure.

[Uncle Miltie]

Agree. Vote #1 within 15 minutes of opening the House in January should be a full repeal of 0bamaCare. Up or down. Every name on the record.

[Uncle Miltie]

Come on guys, this is the easy stuff. This is a stake in the ground with political consequences for each member.

It cannot pass the Senate or be signed, of course. But if the Republicans can’t shift themselves to pass a full-throated repeal of Socialism, we’ll go make a Third Party and put them out of business.

[rogue yam]

A spokesman for House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R.-Va.), who will be the House majority leader in the next Congress, told CNSNews.com in response to Bachmann’s statement that Cantor agrees with Bachmann and is committed to the vote she wants.

I am glad to see Cantor walking back his idiocy of a couple of days ago.

Bachmann: ‘There Needs To Be an Insurrection’ Against GOP Leaders If They Don’t Hold Straight Vote to Repeal Obamacare

The Republican Party is suicidal if they don't fight Obamacare and The Dream Act. Either or both will ultimately push America's shaky financial situation over the edge. The GOP must apprise American taxpayers the link between Obama's buddy Soros and Assange's attorney, and the great giveaway of taxpayer dollars to resolve the debt of foreign nations, GE and McDonalds. It's time to take the gloves off with democrats.

No fiction writer could have dreamed this corrupt fantasy money-giveaway up.

[Republic of Texas]

We need to have this vote once a week until that tragedy is gone. We need to know who stands with us and who doesn’t, regardless of their party affiliation.

House Tea Party Caucus

This is the main purpose of the article, to create a caucus with a leader. The TEA Party has no leader, be careful here. Ms. Bachmann has to be careful, I hope she is not trying to hijack this thing.

[Vendome]

There better be!

[seoul62]

A big up for her refreshing honesty and courage to say what she truly feels.
