It seems clear that a repeal isn't even close to a reality, and no amount of rhetoric revamping will make it any more likely for the next two years at a minimum. So why insist upon starting the year with this vote? Is that what the voters were asking for in November - hugely symbolic but largely meaningless legislation?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064681608724794430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-2313865039871298852011-01-18T06:35:50.462-05:002011-01-18T06:35:50.462-05:00Well, the "new civility" is only a lefti...Well, the "new civility" is only a leftist tactic designed to stop the GOP from doing what it was elected (resoundingly)in November to do. Most of us in the conservative camp have been holding our breath and hoping against hope that our new House does NOT fall for the trap. It's with a sigh of relief that we watch them move forward with the people's business. But yeah, I can see how that would be a disappointment to many on the left given the way that the left has dictated the terms of discourse for decades. Happily, that's changing.Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.com
