Byron York, chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, relayed in his syndicated column that House Republicans held a conference call to decide what exactly they mean by “Repeal and Replace.” “If the GOP wins control of the House this November on the promise to repeal ObamaCare -- what do they do?” asks York. “Even if they repeal ObamaCare, Barack Obama will still be president and the Senate will still be the Senate, meaning that, absent a huge shift in the political atmosphere, the chance of final success will be small. What then?”
I have a plan. I call it the Seven Seals of Democratic Tribulation:
First Seal: A Republican-controlled House defunds ObamaCare.
Second Seal: Republicans craft a series of very public hearings that would curl P.T. Barnum’s’ toes. All the “Repeal Central” material would be available for downloading or viewing on the Internet (no boring fever charts on easels, please). The information should be in the form of compelling testimony by mom-and-pop business people and small town doctors. Get the finest documentary filmmakers to produce video content for posting.
Third Seal: Pass legislation repealing ObamaCare. Post network news video of President Obama vetoing the measure.
Fourth Seal: Repeat step three all the way through Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Imagine, if you will, President Obama excusing himself from multiple campaign speeches so he can veto the latest attempted repeal of his socialistic monstrosity.
Fifth Seal: On the podium at every stump speech given by the Republican candidate for president hangs the Great Seal of the United States. Clutched in the eagle’s talons a digital clock counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until a Republican sits in the Oval Office to sign ObamaCare’s repeal into law.
Sixth Seal: After tossing ObamaCare onto the ash heap of history, the new Republican president graciously donates the “freedom clock” to the Smithsonian Institution so that generations of school children yet unborn may venerate it.
Seventh Seal: The Republican Congress passes amendments narrowly defining the General Welfare and Interstate Commerce clauses of the U.S. Constitution, rendering impossible any totalitarian tinkering by future governments.
Imagine how difficult this leap of imagination is for tired Republicans John McCain and Olympia (wined-and-Obama-dined) Snowe. Now imagine a reestablished Republican majority thwarted at every turn by the thick-skulled mavericky spasms of the aforementioned. It should begin to dawn on you how important it is to dump these chumps in the upcoming Republican primaries.
In your heart of hearts, you know I’m right.
