What use is a Senate controlled by liberal republicans?

Here is an example: No Obamacare if we had the Senate or the House in 2008. Even a GOPe dominated no Ted Cruz Senate would have killed it dead. Deader than a doornail. Same with the House.

It is simply naive to believe that we can have a Tea Party dominated House and Senate in one election cycle. It is not going to happen. We are never going to be happy with every single GOP senator or House member. But it escapes me why the members of this forum are willing to give up on the idea of achieving a majority in both house of Congress because they they think "nothing will change".

Personally I'm willing fight to elect good conservative candidates. That's what we are about here. But sitting home and letting the Dems keep control of the Senate in simply crazy if not childish.

Who said it was going to happen in one election cycle?

The GOP leadership in the Senate does not want to get rid of Obamacare. They supplied critical procedural votes to keep it going. They then 'voted against' it with meaningless show votes, but they provided the critical cloture votes.

It's naive to ignore the liberal republican complicity in Reid's agenda.

It will take time, but every liberal republican needs to be destroyed. Or the republican party needs to be destroyed.

I am not a republican. I am a conservative, fighting for conservative governance, not for liberal republican governance.
