Completely. Pointless. Gesture.
WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in the new House say they'll hold a vote next week to repeal President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The announcement of the Jan. 12 vote by the No. 2 House Republican, Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, sets the stage for a showdown with the Democratic-led Senate.
Actually, it will have one positive effect. Republicans will be on record -- again -- as opposing things like the closing of the donut hole, keeping kids on their parent's insurance, and reducing the deficit.
