Maybe if you buy 50 repeal votes, you get one free. We get it.. For more than a year, Democrats and their advocates in the press have been ridiculing the GOP's anti-Obamacare efforts. The House Republicans have voted more than 30 times to repeal Obamacare, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in March 2013. The House has wasted weeks voting more than 40 times to repeal Obamacare, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in October of last year. If at first you don't succeed, try 50 times -- Republicans [are] holding a 50th vote to repeal Obamacare, MSNBC's Al Sharpton said last week. Many others have said similar things. The only problem is, the truism isn't true. The House has actually voted to repeal Obamacare in its entirety six times.
