Repealing PART of a law is not the same as repealing the ENTIRE law. As I

they REPEALED the 18th (Volstead Act). They didn't repeal the entire
Constitution.


The health care law is just like this one. Most of it is changing
existing law. To repeal it they will need another 2000 pages of
"strikes" and "inserts" restoring the original language., It won't
just be a 1 liner like Sec 1 of the 21st amendment.

In that regard the whole idea of "repeal" is just a metaphor to feed
the masses. I think the GOP is screwing up even using the word.
It is stupid, politically but they have not really showed much
political intelligence for 15 years

?? You're making my argument for me. Again, modifying a law isn't
necessarily a repeal, and the 21st didn't repeal the Const.

If it's pabulum for the masses, why do you keep trying to use it in an
argument? You used it. The GOP is using it.
