Replace and Repeal..............
the republicans have already dropped the word "replace" which only confirms they had no plan.
Rich people go to the hospital and poor people......can die.

2. Fuck it, repeal the damn thing
All I've heard for two years is how awful it is, so repeal it and everything else Obama did. Start over with Republicans and let everybody see what they get when a real corporate give-away is going on.

4. They can't do that with one house.
To repeal it, they would have to pass it in both houses and then have 2/3rd majorities to override a Presidential Veto.

The override word is the opening volly inthe 2012 campaign, which begins now.

By December, we shoud have a clear idea of the possible candidates on the Republican side.

6. I believe they can defund much of it

Programs aren't any good with no cash.

What I'm concerned about is how many "conservative" or moderate Democrats will be wooed, or bribed to vote with the GOP in the Senate. If that happens we could be in for a long bumpy ride.

The GOP's main push is going to be making tax cuts for the most wealthy permanent, and of course kissing Wall Street butt like you've never seen before.
