Have the 33 votes of the House of Representatives to kill Obamacare been useful?
Yesterday (on July 11, 2012), the House of Representatives voted for the 33rd time to repeal the Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) or eliminate its funding. The latest vote came after the Supreme Court upheld its constitutionality based on Congress' power to tax. Have these 33 votes been useful, or a waste of time? If they have been useful, what have they accomplished?
''Have these 33 votes been useful, or a waste of time?'' YES and NO, the House has exposed the Senate leadership of not permitting our elected Senators their right to vote yea or nay on repealing Obamacare.Censorship,a travesty of the Obama administration.Open and transparent government.

Yes, hopefully it will get them removed from office. Same with all their unconstitutional abortion legislation.
As always---they refuse to acknowledge that America does not belong to them, and them only. They just refuse to admit that we can be a country any other way than what they demand. Their recalcitrance and stubborn childishness will hopefully be enough to get them fired.

I'm curious to know what have been the Republican congress accomplishments since Obama has been in office? It seems to me all they have done is criticsize everything that he has done and say no to any bill or legislation that he wanted passed.

The close to $450 million website, and the chaotic rollout of ObamaCare only re-enforces the now common perception that the president's major domestic governmental intervention is a massive failure. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.And like the iceberg that sank the Titanic, ...

Thanks to rHamson for planting the seed for this thought. I will even use his/her post, (and my reply), to start things rolling.GA replied:Your last question is the nut that no one can crack - yet.And it might make a good forum topic by itself. Rather than having conflicting ideologies...

The new House of Representatives is ready to shut down the government because they don’t want to pay for the countries bills that were accrued in the last fiscal year. So they want to hold the country hostage until they get what they want, which is to lower spending for the next fiscal year. ...
