Well, that is a cogent, well reasoned argument of your position, and one well worth an equally cogent counter argument. So here it is: you're a complete idiot. Point one to Maceman.
EVERY Republican voted against Obamcare. Obamacare is a reality because people like you wouldn't vote for the "establishment" Republicans in enough states and allowed Democrats to have a super majority in the Senate.
Well, again -- for the umpteenth time since you first blamed me for the passage of Obamacare -- I voted a straight Republican ticket in 2008, and again in 2012. So my hands are clean on that issue. If you blame me again, you will only further underscore my earlier point, which again, is that you are an idiot.
Republicans in the Senate WERE stopping radical leftist judges from being nominated onto courts to the point Harry Reid had invoke the nuclear option to get them approved.
That was then, this is NOW. Apparently, in spite of the many times I have posted this tidbit from John McCain regarding what a Republican Senate will look like in 2015, you have missed it. So here it is again: “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
If you can't look ahead two years and see the value of a Republican-controlled Senate in the event a conservative gets elected President, you're not very bright.
I am trying to be sympathetic to your evidently very limited capacity for making reasoned arguments, and so from this point will ignore your repetitive assertions regarding what you clearly perceive to my mental deficiencies.
But I have, in fact, laid out a very clear projection of how I view the next two years if the Republicans win the Senate, to wit:
The Republican Senate will just give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections. Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big government loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon.
I should add that I do not share what I see as your far-fetched and overly optimistic assessment regarding the chances of the GOPe allowing a conservative candidate to win the 2016 nomination, after having demonstrated that they can win the Senate in 2014 by waging war on conservatives in general and the Tea Party in particular.
What we have seen is eight years of your strategy of letting Democrats win elections make things much worse.
Well, actually, what we have seen is eight years of what happens when the GOPe shoves RINOcrat moderates/leftists down our throats in election after election -- which is to say, conservatives lose and leftists win. We also see what happens with eight years of Republicans failing to even bother to even make arguments to counter the repeated idiotic assertions of the left. Actually, make that 16-years, if you include that 8-years during which President GW Bush followed Karl Rove's apparent advice to just be a national punching bag without making any effort to defend any conservative position.
What the hell is YOUR strategy? You have none.
Well, my strategy may not be as elegant as yours, which apparently consists of two major elements: 1) calling me names; and 2) continuing the endless Charlie Brown/Lucy cycle of voting for RINOs to continue the pretty much unbroken string of electoral losses and enable the GOPe to firmly entrench its control of the Republican Party while waging war on conservatives.
The irony, being, of course, that but for the Tea Party John Boehner would have been House leader for the last 6 six years.
But in fact, I DO have a strategy, which I have repeatedly laid out in multiple posts, and in support of which I have offered reasoned arguments that you have apparently not ever bothered to read.
My strategy is this: Stop voting for RINOs, force the Republican establishment to accept the reality that they cannot win elections without the support of a committed, motivated conservative base, thereby forcing them to become a force conservative governance and for the restoration of our nation of liberty, free markets and Constitutional law.
You may not like my strategy. You may not think it will work. But it IS a strategy. Which is more than you have offered in all your vituperative if otherwise inconsequential prose.
Please note that the offending sentence should read: "The irony being, of course, that but for the Tea Party John Boehner would have been House minority leader for the last 6 six years."
