Dewhurst Launches ‘Repeal ObamaCare Texas’ Website
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – “Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters in Texas at least ‘somewhat favor’ repeal of the new national health care law, including 57% who ‘Strongly Favor’,” says a recent Rasmussen Poll. According to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, support for repeal is much higher in Texas than the rest of the nation, and he aims to do something about it.
“The more Texans know about Obamacare, the less they like it,” said the Lt. Governor in announcing the launch of his new “Fight ObamaCare” website.
“Obamacare is a prescription for bigger government, higher taxes, skyrocketing spending and crushing debt. We all know that’s not the kind of health care Texas families and small businesses can afford,” Dewhurst said.
“The majority of voters in the state (58%) believe that states should have the right to opt out of the health care plan.”
Also revealed in the poll, available on “Fight Obamacare Texas, was that “Texas voters also continue to oppose the provision in the new health care law that requires every American to obtain health insurance.”
Fifty-seven percent (57%) oppose the provision, including 49% who Strongly Oppose it.

I own a small business and I still don’t know what to do with this government healthcare crap. I’m taking my own advice and just buying regular healthcare and going forward like this mess never happened—It’s going away in a maximum of two elections cycles, anyway!!

American should be up in arms over the 3.8% federal tax on real estate sales that’s part of ObamaCare.
Think about the billions of dollars in real estate that changes hands in the U.S. every year – and about how much 3.8% will generate – and how it will affect real estate sales. WIll lenders allow it to be rolled into loans? If so, how much interest will they make on it?
REPEAL! REPEAL! REPEAL!

Perry has not been reelected yet and Dewhurst is already running to replace him as Governor. A vote for Perry is a vote to elect Dewhurst Governor.

The 308% ‘sales tax’ if geared the properties over $1 million (I won’t qualify). Within the first hour of O-care passing, Abbot had suit ready to file suit against Feds.
All the ‘R’s out there stumping are no longer calling for Repeal..we need to do a better job & let them know it needs to be TOTALLY REPEALED! Defund it & kill it.

Nullify, nullify, nullify ObamaCare just like the state of Missouri did.
Mr. Dewhurst, I’m going to hold you to your word. You’re the one with the most power and stroke in the state of Texas. Start twisting arms, and that probably won’t be needed, in the Texas House and Senate and get ObamaCare nullified in Texas.
Take that you socialist Demoncrats! We don’t want your socialism.

Hey Christian Archer….Thank you, thank you, thank you! You hit the nail on the head.
The key word for those in the Texas legislature is “nullification”, not “repeal”. Dewhurst knows that he has NO power (politically) to “repeal” Obamacare…that’s an act reserved for federal politicians.
This slight of hand by Dewhurst makes him look strong without having to take any political risk whatsoever. This is a common practice of all in state government….a lot of strong talk, but NO walk with the constitutional tools available to them.
If Dewhurst were genuinely determined to rid Texas of the hated Obamacare, he would be yelling “Nullify!!”, not “repeal”.
And y’all remember,….even if the U.S. Supreme Court rules federal legislation “constitutional”, states don’t “HAVE” to comply with it if it’s not specifically listed in Article One, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution (enumerated).
I’m just saying….
