> but a handful of weak GOP candidates cost them control of the upper body
And this time two strong candidates who just had to fall into the rape trap will do the same if not worse.
If Romney wins, he will be facing not only this nightmare, but an even larger one:
The economy and financial state he will inherit is many times worse than the one that was handed to Obama.
He will be restrained from dealing with it because of the Senate, #1, as this article states. #2, the actions required to undo the damage done by Obama to the nation’s balance sheet will be unpopular to far more than the 47% who depend on the gov. So what he will be able to enact may be the very thing that prevents him from being re-elected in 2016.
IMHO.....
I am thinking positive and we will win the majority in both houses..In the name of Jesus we will win..Amen!!!
Vote them out - problem solved
Mitt could study the Administration of Barack Obama and use hundreds of executive orders to work his agenda. His first one should rescind all of Obama’s.
Just sidestep Congress. Obama did it all the time and no one did a thing except whimper.
With a simple majority vote, if the Republicans take control of the senate, they can do for their benefit, what Reid has threatened to do, and done, to them.
That is, Reid threatened to take away the filibuster, and also stop the ability of a single senator to put a “hold” on the business of the senate and approval of nominations for appointive office.
And for the better part of four years, Reid has effectively marginalized the Republicans in both the senate and the house, in the senate by changing the rules to strip them of power, and in the house by refusing for the senate to even begin the budget process. Instead he has insisted that all of congress must pass “continuing resolutions” of the last W. Bush budget.
Were the house to refuse to do so, it would “shut down the government”, which when the Republicans did it during the Clinton years, the Democrats, with full MSM support, blamed them, and the public believed the lie.
So in effect, Harry Reid has been the real US president, and a bad one, for the last four years.
And, curse him, he has now threatened that if the Democrats lose in the election, the lame duck senate will do their level best to bring about a real depression, cripple our military, and leave behind as much chaos as they can.
So the bottom line to the next Republican senate majority leader is that with a Republican president and a Republican congress, Democrat perfidy and obstructionism will no longer be tolerated. The Democrats must taste their own medicine, and be relegated to being inconsequential as the Republicans strive to repair the damage the Democrats have done.
If the Republican senate majority leader is a weakling, heaven help us all. For every time he extends an olive branch to the Democrats, they will use it to harm both the Republicans and our nation. As they lose, they must instead be given a dunce cap and told to sit in the corner and be quiet.
Democrats must lose the Senate. Don’t be fooled by Democrat candidates who put on their “conservative” values every six years to get re-elected, but vote with Harry Reid every time he needs their vote.
What are GOP Senate prospects in 2014?
“A handful of WEAK GOP CANDIDATES...”
Yeah, right. And they got such WONDERFUL support from the Karl Rove’s of the Party, didn’t they! Move the Rep Party’s liberal leadership to the Dem Party and at least one of these candidates might have won!
I will grant you that Sharon Angle wasn’t the strongest candidte.
In Nevada, it is hard to get people to run against Dirty Harry Reid & to go into debt to do so.
He has a stranglehold on the Clark County & Las Vegas voters.
On Monday night, Angle showed a 4 point lead in the polls. Tuesday night, she had lost by 6 points.
That is a 10 point swing.
I don’t think the pollsters are that bad at doing their job.
I think the difference was massive ACORN fraudulent voters.
ACORN was caught with over 400,000 fraudulent voter registrations.....in a state that had 1.22 Million voters...tht is about 1/3 of all the registered voters!!
Their fine—after 2 years of ‘investigation’? $5000.
That is about 1 1/4 CENTS for each voter card.
Not nearly enough of a deterrent, IMO.
