Here’s What Happens When the GOP Takes Over the Senate (Crying Liberal Alert)
Daily Beast ^ | 04.30.14 | Michael Tomasky

Posted on 04/30/2014 6:02:02 PM PDT by kingattax

From abortion bans to Obamacare cuts to, maybe, an empty Supreme Court chair, the Republicans already know exactly what they’ll do if they get control of both houses of Congress.

Passing a federal law banning almost all abortions after 20 weeks. Defunding parts of Obamacare. Weakening the Environmental Protection Agency. Kneecapping the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elizabeth Warren’s baby, the new agency within the Fed to police consumer fraud. And—maybe, just maybe—letting a Supreme Court seat sit vacant until after the next presidential election.

That’s just the start of what happens if the Republicans win back the Senate this November. Imagine, posits a top aide to Mitch McConnell, a steady stream of legislation, much of it conservative, that will force Barack Obama to start vetoing bills for essentially the first time in his presidency.

Let’s not forget getting rid of the mid and upper level libtard judges. We don’t have to impeach them, just eliminate their seats. Make new ones when we feel like it. This also applies to the supremes.

They may do a few of those things but my guess is is that they will generally sell out.

I hoping at least 95% of all government agencies get their SWAT teams taken away. Especially their “snipers” and armed drones.

Someone more clever and a better writer than I am (and their number is legion :) should take that second paragraph and turn it around mentioning the liberty destroying stuff done by the RATS in the last several years.

Neither party is innocent. Not even close.

Too many spineless crybabies in the GOP for any of this to happen.

Just think Michael. I have a long list. You haven’t gotten past the first page.

I certainly hope some or all of these happy outcomes come to pass.

.....and then hump Obama’s leg.

Oh the leadership has already been doing that for the last five years. We need to get rid of toy poodles and get a few PitBulls!

He looks like he’s been punched in the nose a lot.

If so, small wonder.

Remember all the great things they did to restore the Republic when they held all three branches?

No, neither do I.

The last time the GOP controlled the Senate, our federal budget deficit was $160 billion and falling, unemployment was at 4.6 %, a gallon of gasoline cost $2.18, and our total national debt was less than half what it is today.

If the Stupid Party takes over they will just kneel to their Democrat masters and do their bidding.
A few will stand and fight but for the most part the GOP will collapse.

The Republicans didn’t do that when they had all three branches of government. What makes anyone think they would start now with a more liberal Senate?

This is typical liberal hysteria and fearmongering to scare Democrats into staying on the plantation, ignoring their "culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the party", the lie that was Pelosi's "Most Ethical Congress Ever", etc.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

While Tomasky cited Biden, Reid, and Clinton, the Daily Beast columnist brushed them aside as not “real, seriously racist.”

The Daily Beast == Newsweak.

Democrat propaganda for the masses.
