(83,708 posts)It has been a great week! Excellent news coming from the White House. Some may not like it yet it is a fact!
The Repubs are tearing their hair out. Hair on fire! Oh my gosh! Repeal! Repeal!
I think you are right. They are going to cave after they make their last stand. I truly hope their last stand will be the 2014 elections...when they lose everything and then we win big time.

(1,805 posts)How much taxpayer money was spent on the 50 votes to repeal the ACA? I thought the GOP was the party of "fiscal responsibility." Maybe a movie can be made called "Boehner's Last Stand."
Here is the cost...
You've got to give them credit for . . . for . . . persistence? House Republicans voted for the 50th time, voted 250-160 to roll back part of Obamacare. This time it was for a delay of the individual mandate, and a tacit acknowledgment that, yeah, the law is here to stay. Otherwise why vote to delay part of it?
The bill is not expected to be taken up at all in the Senate, but Republicans hope it can bolster their case for taking the Senate in this fall's midterm elections. The party wants to make the elections as much as possible about the problems of ObamaCare, and is hoping to exploit Democratic division on the issue.
How many times have you read a variation on that paragraph in the last three years? At least 50! At a cost to taxpayers of something like $72.5 million, in case you're keeping track.
That's putting a lot of eggs into a one very flimsy basket, as Markos pointed out earlier. Obamacare isn't the same issue it was in 2010, and it's not hurting Democrats now. By November, lots of people will have gotten coverage, and lots of people in red states will have noticed that they didn't get health care because of their Republican leaders. That's gonna hurt.

I like the name of that movie "Boehner's Last Stand."

And I'm later than usual to the thread; but it's after the WH Correspondents Dinner. Between the two, I don't know how I could ever cry again. Well, I know I will sometime somewhere; but this is one of the dearest threads I've ever seen. Beautiful contributions from everyone. Thanks to all.
