I will feel great when the GOP wins the Senate, right up until the moment when Bohener and McConell come out and talk about working with the Democrats to make Government work well again!

“I’d rather wake up on Nov. 5 sick at losing the Senate, but proud that Obama and the Democrats did all they could to make climate change, gun control, immigration and big money big issues, instead of losing because they were too afraid of losing to win.”

Its going to suck to be you Marty. :-)

By the time you went to bed, the Republicans had won five of the six Senate seats they needed to take control of both houses of Congress.

We have 45 without the VP, so we need 6. I hope for more than that, 51 is not enough, the rats are expected to score a couple in 2016.

12 rat seats are "in play" in my estimation, I rank them in loose order of takeover potential. SD WV MT AR AK LA NC CO MI IA MN NH. 2 GOP seats are at risk, KY and GA.

Good for you, numbnuts.

The hilarious thing about the article is it combines things that no republican wants, things that the republicans would never pass, and things the democrats didn’t pass because they didn’t support it when they had a supermajority.

But the message is clear — “Vote Democrat because FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR”.

As a great hero once said “The only thing we have to fear is, a senate republican majority itself”.

All that will matter is that the Senate Republican majority will be even more obstructionist than the Senate Republican minority, and they will have the House Republican majority as enablers. They will repeatedly repeal the Affordable Care Act. They’ll strip the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of staff and powers. They’ll outlaw abortion, gut food stamps even further, block a path to citizenship for 12 million immigrants and cut taxes on the 1 percent. The only thing stopping them will be Democratic filibusters. But fear of losing the next election will be on many minority minds, so a united opposition is not a given, and Democratic caving, depicted as high-minded bipartisanship, will no doubt send some odious Acts to the Oval Office.

Somebody's been reading my email.

But they left out the part about turning over western lands to the states.

Whoa! ... wait a minute here. I've read further into the article:

No bankers behind bars.

Turns out Kaplan and I do have some common ground.
