Republicans in Fantasyland: Health Care Reform Repeal "Impossible"

[Joanne98]

As an indication of how broken our media is, they are now wasting valuable air-time discussing Republicans' "plans" to repeal health care reform, an almost impossible event.

I am not sure what planet, or what nation, the Republicans live on or in, but the idea that healthcare reform can be repealed is not only mickey-mouse, it is fantasyland.

Regardless of what the Republican louts do in the Senate -- voting against removing provisions they railed against! -- the House passed the identical bill the Senate already passed with a supermajority, and the President will sign it into law. Tomorrow.

To repeal that bill, Republicans will have to get to 60 votes in the Senate (ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! -- serves them right) and a majority in the House. For the next 3 years, and probably the next 7, they will need 67 votes in the Senate and 290 votes in the House to override President Obama's veto.

3. In one day the poll went to 49...when people find out what is really

in the bill do you think they will listen to rush and fox? Heck no the favorable poll will climb and then who will be the losers. when those republicans find out their kids can get insurance when they have those pre-existing conditions, do you think they will pick rush and fox and the right wing spewers over their kids, heck no. So the republicans are going to steadily loose any type of support. Win the house back, NO NO NO..Win the senate NO NO NO...that's all I have to say. rush and fox won't be able to stem the tide.
