Conservatives just think Obama is bad.....After a year of Hillary they will be begging to have Obama back.....
I trust you know those statements weren't directed at you, just general disdain for Mrs. Clinton.
I do have to agree, unfortunately. She's been setting this up for a long time, if we're going to have a female in office, she's likely to be the first. She'll be running, and it's not looking bad for her right now.

The problem with all the new young one's are they all have great aspiration's and great intention's, but at the end of the day they will also turn into greedy politician's looking out for themselves rather than what they were elected for. As you can tell I am not fond of either party they are up in D.C. for one purpose only and that is money and power, the minute they are elected they seem to forget who placed them there.

He should have said "We vow to TRY and repeal ObamaCare". If they don't have something to replace it, they're fools. It will be two years of majority rule, and then back to the outhouse in 2016.
If they don't show some backbone (on everything, not just Ocare) they might as well go home now.
Fresh meat was sent to DC to shake it up. I have a feeling most of the freshman class are serious about making a change and realize it won't happen overnight.

I hope they have a better idea of how DC works than their commercials would have you believe.
I don't care how much you hate Obama, he can still veto any piece of legislation he desires and the Republicans don't have a two thirds majority to override it.
Congress and the President would be well served with a field trip to a PI attorney. One of those that is always advertising. It seems Congress and the President have forgotten or perhaps never learned how to settle and compromise.

You are Exactly right AC!
It even goes deeper than that. You would have to pass the replacement legislation first. Then you would have to institute a migration plan of some sort phased in over time. All of which would stand to be more screwed up than what we have now. Then once the migration was complete then you could repeal it.
I read an article that said 100% of new republican congressmen ran on "Repeal Obamacare" so it looks like the low-info crowd works both way.
I'm beginning to think the US voters are schizophrenic...we want x. ok here's x...no no no..... we want y....
Agreed. Transition, migration, and tweaks to the law result in death by a thousand paper cuts. The law did essentially 2 things - help the poor afford it and the sick qualify for it. That's it. If they use a simple subsidy system and high risk pool, they can delete billions in cost, and then spend time rebuilding a soundly underwritten system over time.
