In order to repeal Obamacare, we need a Republican majority in the Senate. The Senate currently has 53 Democrats, and 47 Republicans. Republicans must hold all of their Senate seats, PLUS pick up four more. According to Real Clear Politics, there are currently eight toss up seats for U.S. Senate. Two of those are currently held by Republicans. Below are the eight toss up Senate seats with links to contribute, volunteer, and to each candidate’s Twitter accounts. Please consider contributing so that we can retake the Senate and Repeal Obamacare. If Mitt Romney wins the presidency, he Cannot repeal Obamacare without a Republican controlled Senate. It is Imperative that we gain at Least four U.S. Senate seats.

    We have a good one going here. Ben Nelson (Cornhusker Kickback) has bowed out. Bob Kerry, former Senator who went to New York and has come back to run, is using the "Can't we just get along " style of campaign. But his opponent is hitting him with his record. Deb Fisher has pulled out the stops and branding him (She is a Nebraska rancher after all) as a Obama rubber stamp. It's working.

    I'm supporting Connie Mack because Bill Nelson must go, I already promised him I'd work hard against him if he voted for Obamacare. So, I must keep my word! LOL

    I donated to Scott Brown last time but it will be hard this time. I know it's necessary but it's like voting for McCain!

    I'll do what I can but I can't make any promises. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the overt corruptness and the dirty politics that have become business as usual. The Republican Party should be on obama like fleas! We should DEMAND answers.

    I'll bet dead presidents are sitting up in their graves thinking, "I could have gotten away with THAT!" Not too long ago a candidate was destroyed if he admitted to using weed. Now the line is at heroin so that we can appease obama idiots.

    I'm in Florida. Bill Nelson is a shill and lap dog for Obama and the extreme left. Connie Mack is my Congressman and has done an excellent job. We definitely need to see Nelson defeated.

    I make sure to get friends, and family to vote...even to the point of getting,and mailing their absentee ballots. I also hit them up for money to send where needed to defeat the progs.

    Even if you can only send a couple of bucks...if we all did it we could counter the lies, and turn the tide.

    I think one very effective tactic in this war on obamacare that progs would consider, would be repeatedly pointing out that the IRS is now turned loose on people....and they would prob not stop at looking for HC fines. Repeat how brutal they are ...fines, leans, garnishments...and you must prove yourself innocent.

    All those ads for help with the IRS are there for a reason!

    No one is safe ! Even if some have jobs that provide HC ...many will prob be dumped by their employers. Say the car breaks down, you have to feed the family,pay the everyday bills, and pay the mortgage or rent but don't have money for HC ins. The IRS is a ruthless bureaucracy ... they will put a lien on that house or garnish your wages! But the medicaid bums will get a free ride.

    IRS WATCHDOG: HEALTH REFORM RAISES PRIVACY ISSUES

    Nina E. Olson, who runs the Taxpayer Advocate Office {TAO}, a federal IRS overseer, has warned the new health law may require more IRS intrusions on taxpayer privacy, to determine whether individuals got appropriate health coverage, and whether small businesses provide “affordable” coverage, all of which is defined by the government.

    That’s because the health-reform law’s individual mandate requires almost all legal residents of the United States to have “adequate” health-care coverage, as determined by the federal government. And it requires businesses of all sizes to provide “affordable” coverage as defined by the federal government.

    Health reform’s insurance mandate says if you do not have “adequate” insurance, you’ll have to pay a fine as part of your tax return. If your business doesn’t provide “affordable” coverage, you’ll have to pay a fine to the IRS, too, as part of your tax return filing.

    The IRS must collect these mandate penalties, as well as determine whether individuals buy “adequate” health coverage, and whether small businesses provide “affordable” coverage to workers under the new law.

    WHAT YOU NOW MUST TELL THE IRS UNDER THE HEALTH LAW

    The TAO has noted Americans must now tell the IRS under the new law, according to a report obtained by FOX News analyst James Farrell:

    *Insurance plan information, including who is covered under the plan and the dates of coverage;
    *The costs of your family’s health insurance plans;
    *Whether a taxpayer had an offer of employer-sponsored health insurance;
    *The cost of employer-sponsored insurance;
    *Whether a taxpayer received a premium tax credit; and
    *Whether a taxpayer has an exemption from the individual responsibility requirement.

    The TAO has warned: “This is different from the type of information the IRS typically deals with, and some taxpayers may feel uncomfortable about sharing it with the IRS.”

    Both our (RINO) senators in Arizona must be replaced. Sen Kyl is retiring so that race is on, but we can do nothing about Sen McCain this round. These sorts of things do play into the vote-counting.

    Also question whether repeal can happen with only 51%.

    the Senate Majority leader can go 'nuclear' at any time.

    the fact that Harry HASN'T is one more reason that i don't respect/hate the guy. meanwhile, the Senate does less than fiddle while nothing happens in Washington DC.

    with a republican president, working WITH a republican House and Senate (nuclear, if need be) can get a lot done.

    unlike Obama who has dithered for 4 years.

    Seems to me that repeal may take more than a mere majority. There has been some noise about that being illegal. Anyway, if it passes both houses, then it goes to the president. Obama would never sign repeal, so it goes back to the congress looking for a ?(2/3)? override, that'd be tough.
    And then there may be Romney - he's lying when he says he'd repeal. Maybe he'd replace, but raw repeal, neva hoppen.
    elect Gary Johnson and you can bet on REPEAL.

    in this term, you'd be right.

    if enough republicans sweep into the Senate in November, and (you're very right) Romney lives up to his word, he COULD repeal it day one.

    i did. in the primary. it seems my fellow Americans didn't agree with my choice.

    no matter.

    i'll look again and see who can beat Obama and vote for him.

    the principle here is that Obama MUST go, along with his defective band of idiots.

    we'll work on the people who are left.

    i think in a big picture kind of thing, we're in the fire under Obama. i'd prefer to jump out of the fire, but that possibility doesn't exist. we'll have to settle for jumping back into the frying pan.

    i seem to remember this sort of stark Hobson choice between Carter and Reagan. Reagan wasn't perfect, but he was better than Carter.

    I know Romney's not perfect, but he's better than Obama...

    i voted for Anderson in 1980 and Perot in 1992. I've seen what it got me and i'm not doing that again...

    It will very possibly become a true 3-way race. That's the only way of bypassing the Dem-Rep monopoly. The RINO party could easily fall to #3!

    I know. It's very important to hold the House and take back the Senate. But even that's not enough. If we don't remove Obama, he'll continue to rule by Executive Order and Holder will back him up.

    Snore - you quote that sick sick loser from Florida?? Is the political fog so thick that you do not have a grip on reality?
    So many common sense possibilities to reform health care in a way that does not control peoples lives and choices. Nation wide pools for pre-existing conditions - such a small small percentage that easy to do. Allow companies to cross state lines which cuts huge overhead and allows real competition. Vouchers (yes, at tax payer expense) for those uninsured and without ability to buy insurance - is there anyone who does not think that all kinds of new plans would be available immediately so companies could get their paws on that money. Allow people to pick plans that suit their needs not some hugely expensive plan that a government employee thinks everyone needs. Young, for the most part, need catastrophic policies that are inexpensive to the policy holder - in fact, that is really what most of us need - all the rest can and should be the responsibility of the individual. Surgeries as well as cancer treatments etc come under catastrophic.

    But you know all this and chose political rhetoric to support a bill that has 19 new taxes (some say 21), raises the costs through the roof, creates a massive expensive bureaucracy, rations care, and solves nothing. Difficult to understand anyone thinking this bill is a good thing.
