ObamaCare will stand, republican leaders are just as corrupt as SCOTUS, and congress.

Name one large bill or tax in our history that was EVER repealed?

Right, none.

Now what you will see is the hedging that republican leaders will start to do, “repeal and replace”.

Only one solution to restore our republic, we have already had our last free election.

You may be right (and if so we are truly done) but I have to believe that if Romney wins the presidency, a GOP majority in the senate, and increased seats in the house, that there will be an attempt to repeal Obominationcare.A lot of ifs to be sure, but a chance.

“Name one large bill or tax in our history that was EVER repealed?”

I am generally of a like mind on this point and have so posted on this forum. But I have been encouraged more since this farce of a decision. There have been examples:

1. The tax that caused the Whiskey Rebellion was repealed in 1801.

2. The WPA spent about 6.7 percent of GDP in 1935. It was shut down in 1943.

3. The Civilian Conservation Corps was another New Deal scheme. It was shut down in 1942.

4. The Public Works Administration was shut down in 1943.

5. The Federal Works Agency ended in 1949.

6. The Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988 was ended a year later.

7. The original Federal telephone excise tax that was created to finance the Spanish American War was repealed in 1902. Its follow on reincarnation was reinstated for WWI and finally at least partially repealed in 2006.

It will be a daunting task but we MUST turn the tide and start whacking away at the bloated government monster. Let's start with Obamacare!
