I read nothing the Washington Post says, including anything written by the Dem Party sycophants like Milbank who write their political “analysis”.

I am convinced. Let’s hope that the Dems and Harry Reid retain control of the Senate. It is better for us in the long run. And maybe there will be some SCOTUS vacancies to fill during these next two years.

The Dems and and media will strive to make everything the fault of the Republican Congress, every day leading up to the 2016 elections.

The GOP has done everything they can to secure a Rat victory in November. I think the GOP will lose seats.

And in other news — there are significant advantages to contracting Alzheimer’s Disease.

It would sure be refreshing to see some real action by Republicans for the restoration of our destroyed freedoms than a bunch of pundits sitting around coming up with reasons and fears about why the Repubs should do nothing.

At this juncture, positive, productive action for America is far more important that wimp politics.

Dana Millbank was the creep who defended poor little doe-eyed Muslimah Saba Ahmed when she crashed that Republican strategy session & wound up getting owned by Brigitte Gabriel.

Oh, those nasty Islamophobes, he railed.

The ONE GOOD THING about the Republicans controlling the Senate is that they could stop Obama’s packing of the courts, particularly the Supreme Court should an opening happen.

Other than that...they’d just make fools of themselves, yet again.

Milbank speaks aloud what so many leaders in the Democrat Party both parties try not to reveal. The true objective is always winning the next election, not doing something for the nation today.
Fixed.

So according to Milbunk, if the RATs lose the Senate it’ll be good for Mullah Baraq. So, I guess if the RATs keep the Senate, Milbunk will says that’s bad for Mullah Baraq, hmm?

“Losing control” to their pals like McConnell, Graham, Snowe and others... What a joke. Nothing much would change.

The chance that the GOPE Senate would vote down a SCOTUS nominee is close to zil.

Same old blah, blah blah. Does this guy want this country to go? I am really sick of these people who only write about doom and gloom instead of offering real solutions to problems.

Milbank is a kook.

If (big if) the GOP does the smart thing and start passing bills that retards the reach of Obama’s bureaucracy, THEY will be on the side of public opinion.

The GOP also needs to be certain to have appealing spokespersons who are NOT all white men. Get Tim Scott, Erika Harold, Allen West, Mia Love, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, other DECENT CONSERVATIVES who will give a positive public persona to this “changing demography” we keep hearing is going to put Demon Rats in control of government for a generation.

There would be no more excuses for Republicans’ failure to put forward their own health-care plan, immigration proposals, specific cuts to popular government programs, and pet causes involving abortion, birth control and gay rights.

No need to 'make work'. Need only repeal the dung heap the democrats have piled up and defund Holder's justice department. Senate Majority Leader Ted Cruz, Mike Lee or Jeff Sessions can use their pen and phone too, and the House can support the Assembly of States by facilitating the drafting of Amendments that will hand the democrats a spear from which they can impale themselves through their buttholes.

The rest of efforts and energies can be used to publicize the graft and corruption of K Street and the corporations and banks that 'pay to play', then supporting the grassroots in leading a boycott of the a-holes of oligarchy; and additionally cleaning internally to demote the ruling class puppets on both sides of the aisle.

This would set up real clashes with Obama — who could employ the veto pen he hasn’t used a single time since Republicans gained control of the House in 2010 — and sharp contrasts that would put him on the winning side of public opinion.

Except there won't be any clash because nothing will be sent to the White House except a truck full of elephant droppings. There will just be defunding, defunding and more defunding with Congress setting up separate accounts for national defense and security thereby deleting the Presidency, why not? Is it not what the White House has done to the Congress? And if the military is ordered to stand down, then Congress can appoint special 'csars' as receivers of congressional military authority to maintain vigilance against all enemies; all by methods first practiced by the current White House.

No need to impeach, just neuter the presidency and ignore it with the same attitude of indifference as has been done to Congress. Act like the White House is not there until Ted gets sworn in January 2017.

Snowe has been replaced by another “independent”, but people in ME may think she is still the senator.

Dana is a typical RAT media hack without a shred of honesty in his whole being. He fits in well at MSNBC.
