The plan is apparently to go into the November election by being able to say "We have passed the repeal of Obama 2 or 3 times in the House of Representatives, but Obama and Harry Reid have blocked us. Let's elect the White House and Senate into Republican hands, and we'll get the job done."
I’m all for that!
Full speed ahead.
Having said that...Boehner—hmmm
Some day, Americans are going to have to extract their heads from their butts and figure this game out. Nothing really gets done anymore because that just means the loss of a campaign issue.
The only thing I can think of at this point that “might” work is term limits. However on the flipside, it sure seems that our term limited legislators are doing all the damage they can do on the way out in Michigan.
Not good to give up your hand so visibly. What he is essentially saying is we'll go through the motions just one more time and then we'll stop. How idiotic is that? If he really believed in this he should have said "we will continue to work to repeal ObamaCare until it is repealed or Hell freezes over".
Good idea. Now that the bill has passed and people are learning what's in it, we can get all the democrats who still support it on record.
The democrat base will have all those who do not support it on record. The democrat politicians will be put between a rock and a hard place. Please the freeloaders and...... lose their jobs via the elections, or do the right thing and..... loose their jobs via the far left wing radicals.
What’s the point of voting for a repeal? It then goes to the Senate where they either shoot it down or don’t vote on it at all.
I am SOO sick of this!!
Well, at least it forces the killers of liberty out of the closet and into full view for all.
One of the worse days in our nations history will be McConnel as Majority Leader in the Senate with Boehner as Speaker of the House, we need to get rid of them both in this process.

Do something that actually matters you bunch of useless bums.
GOP House leaders said Sunday they will forge ahead with efforts to repeal President Obama’s health care law, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers who said Americans want them to instead go forward with efforts to improve the economy.
This is exactly what the Democrats would be doing if this scandal had taken place under a Republican president.
Lead on House GOP leaders.
Getting rid of Obamacare WILL help the economy.
Obamacare is one reason the economy is bad and getting worse.
Before acting on anything, the GOP players need to do some kick-ass PR in venues where democrat idiots frequent, i.e., reality shows, inane sit-coms, NPR, soap opera, CNN, etc. Use third-grade English. Make them understand the truth. To act without more support would be an exercise in futility.
A cautionary note to all:
There have never been any freebies that have ever been repealed.
Yea, because Boehner is such a reliable defender of conservative principles and really holds the line when the pressure hits. <\GIVE ME A BIG FAT BREAK>
I will only believe they are sincere when it actually happens. It’s an old legislative trick to propose legislation that you know has no chance of actually passing, to make yourself look god to your constituency. What counts is how you vote when something needs every vote to pass, and will go into effect if passed.
They could already make the claim they’ve tried to repeal. This may be going to the well one time too many before the election.
If you can’t get it done, then the public may turn away from further efforts, saying, “it’s time to move on.”
I used to bow to the professional pols about things like this, but the Republicans seem to be tone deaf and bad at public relations these days.
