Also... it's kinda hard to call the Republicans the ones obstructing votes when they're the majority party.  The Repeal issue is a valid one and a stupid move by them.


WHAAATTTTT !!!!!!

The Demos are the majority party as they control the White House and the Senate.  Republicans only control the House of Representatives (which means they only control 1/2 of the US Congress, or half of the Legislative branch of government.)

Which is the half that actually tends to bring laws to vote on.

In the Senate, you've got Harry Reid who blocked the President's jobs bill... they won't even bring laws they support up in a timely manner.  In general, the House has always passed laws, while the senate always obstructs them.  It was the same back last congress when there was a democrat majority in both houses.

I mean, the house has voted to repeal the ACA 33 times... and it's passed most of those times... which is unsurprising since Obama wiped out the parts that got a lot of people to vote on it, via executive order.  Heck, since your position seems to be defined by Anti-corprotism and negative feelings towards even moderates like Bill Clinton i'm surprised you seem to support it.  Rather then taking the Ralph Nader stance. 

"In 2010, Ralph Nader called Obamacare a boon to predatory giants. They profit hugely. Ordinary people lose. Nader called PPACA “a pay-or-die system that’s the disgrace of the Western world.”"

After the election it's probably going to get to the point to where Obama will have to Veto such repeals.  Since despite rape mc rapenson ruining the Mississipi race, the Republicans still have a really good chance to win.
