There is evidence that total repeal is just another Republican con. There was a post
which said they couldn't even if they legitimately wanted to, can't find that one.
These two have some evidence as mentioned above. Just to link them in to yours.

Are Republicans Bending On ‘Obamacare’?

As the landmark Supreme Court decision looms next month, Republicans have been privately considering .. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/05/health-care-reform-supreme-court-individual-mandate-republicans-obamacare.php .. a plan to reinstate some popular provisions of “Obamacare” if it’s struck down.

The revelation sent conservative advocates — who have demanded nothing less than total repeal — into a tizzy, .. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/76471.html .. which forced House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to reaffirm his commitment to “repealing Obamacare in its entirety,” declaring that “[a]nything short of that is unacceptable.”

But more evidence is emerging that Republicans believe that’s not tenable.

Rep. Allen West (R-FL), a tea party darling, told ThinkProgress .. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/05/28/490069/rep-allen-west-breaks-with-republican-hardliners-defends-key-provisions-of-obamacare/ .. that he supports preserving three popular provisions of the Affordable Care Act — the same three that his party’s leaders are reportedly considering.

“You’ve got to replace it with something,” West said. “If people want to keep their kid on insurance at 26, fine. We’ve got to make sure no American gets turned back for pre-existing conditions, that’s fine. Keep the doughnut hole closed, that’s fine. But what I just talked to you about — maybe 20, 25 pages of legislation.” .. more: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=76032794

Republicans are acting like vandals .. one bit ..

So the political parties are clear that they need to reach a compromise, right? Surely conservatives, of all people, would not want to trash the US's debt rating, risk the savings of millions and throw the world economy into a new depression.

Well, that's where you're wrong. The controlling faction of the Republican Party appears more than eager to push the US and the world over a fiscal and economic cliff. It has all but held a gun to the head of President Barack Obama, telling him that unless he takes the raising of taxes off the table they will let the global economy collapse. Some within the faction even hope that might help them defeat Obama in next year's presidential election.

I sincerely wish I could be bipartisan on this and write a column saying that blame lies on both sides. But I can't. The debt itself is bipartisan, built up over many years, but only the Democrats are taking responsibility for paying it back. Today's Republican Party in the US is so extreme, so doctrinaire and so reckless it stands alone on this question. .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=64869839
