It maybe more then Symbolic, three Democratic Senators are for repeal and I am sure the ones up for re-election are strongly considering to vote for repeal for at the very least political survival! :banana:

The deems did the same thing when the reps took office in November. There was a vote and they knew wouldn't leave the house but they voted on it anyway.

So what is the point of voting if you can't vote no. According to the dragon if the bill doesn't pass it accomplishes nothing so all bills have to pass.

Then feel free to explain how voting for a bill and it passing to the Senate is accomplishing nothing? Especially when the seats are 51-47 and 3 dems are speaking out saying they could vote for repeal.

It passed the House and it looks like it will pass the Senate since the Senate is 51-49 with three Democrats supporting repeal. :banana:

If a record number of filibusters is good for the Repub Party why not for the DEMS?
Esp since they have the support for the bill by most Americans.
62% want to keep and strengthen the bill vs. 18% who support repeal!

excluding the clinton years

what was the last administration(of either party) which LOWERED the deficit?

why does each party claim to be so immune and opposed to the very things that they have historically and continually been a part of?


Simple answer: It's all a smokescreen.

That's it in a nutshell, there is no two separate parties at all, but rather one big one under the guise of two. This is why regardless of who is holding office, little ever changes and the government as a whole gains more and more power. Further, should anyone actually TRY to make positive change, a change that could effect the balance of power and give us some of that back, they ensure that doesn't happen. This is why JFK was shot some 50 years ago almost now. He was a threat to their control, and as such they had to take him out.

They wanna make us think we have a voice, that things will change, but we don't and they won't unless we collectively wake up to what is happening. Everything is far from what it seems.

The political system as it stands, is as about as real as professional wrestling is. That is to say, it isn't.
