From a few days ago. The house passed the repeal of the healthcare bill, knowing full well that it wouldn't pass the Senate or avoid veto by Obama. They called it "symbolic," though how it is symbolic of anything but partisanship escapes me.

They told their constituents they were going to do it so they did it. Its symbolic in that it won't get repealed, but in that they aren't making a bunch of promises and then dismissing them right after taking office. Simple huh?

It takes steps and this is the first big one. It's a notice to the president. That its not wanted. (In the form it is atm) You might be suprised if it gets repealed.

Presumably their constituents were expecting an actual repeal instead of a symbolic vote. But if they're happy with that, good for 'em I guess.

It won't be. Parts might get changed by bipartisan consent (since it would have to either get the agreement of the president or override a veto) or fail a court challenge, but it won't be repealed.

Lastly, taxes aren't wanted either, but they're necessary.

In fact its repeal will most certainly stimulate economic growth and the GOP knows this, as do the dems.

Elinda,
Yes it is. Not with this senate but when what happened this last year happens again in another year and we have the seats in the senate and the presidency this will get repealed.
I know that saying it won't be repealed continuously comforts you but I can promise you the GOP will not let this go. And we have an overwhelming majority in the house and will most likely take back the senate later this year.

I'm not a Democrat. Can't be, I'm not American. I'm also not liberal, except when compared to you.

Ugly,
You actually think you're a conservative?
I hate to burst your bubble but you can't support Obama and be a conservative.

I wonder what McCain would have done as president. Not that I think he'd be better but he's become such a petulant whiny crank since losing the election that I wonder how he'd be if he wasn't defeated.
