Tom, It is not a waste of time for the new house to vote to repeal Obamacare. They have to start in this manner, and make democrats keep trying to defend it. It is absolutely vital, and they are not wasting time as it is the first thing they are going to do right out of the box. it is what everyone demanded that they do. if they didn't do it they would get creamed by the tea party types.
look it will likely not go through on the first try but they must force everyone to commit to a stance, for or against. they would be nuts to let Democrats avoid immediate accountability after the shellacking. maybe it will cause some cracks on the democratic side, maybe it will show that there is bipartisan support to repeal. Dem's are fresh off of the worst election defeat in modern memory which was primarily due to the unpopularity of Obamacare, there will never been a better time to vote to repeal it.
let's see how many of the 20 or so Democratic senators who are up for re election in 2012 take a firm stand for this unpopular crap. they must keep the heat on the democrats and try to get some momentum building for repeal. Democrats weren't bashful and used blunt force to ram all this stuff through, Republicans have to start ramming right back against it.
this is going to be a long battle, and this is not the end game, only the opening salvo. they've got other chips to play as well.
