So, I guess I'll ask it again. And then what? Republicans take control of the House and Senate and then what?

And then anyone who has eyes to see with can tell you what happens next:

The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that 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 goverment 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 -- not that we have any more time to wait.

You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:

The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “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.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate

Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.

The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.

Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.

It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.

McConnell has committed to restoring it also.

They won't need to. Reid and the Dems will do it on their way out during the lame duck session, if they lost the majority in the election. They would not dare leave that new rule in effect for the Pubbies to use, if a Republican does happen to win in 2016.

I totally disagree with you. The House has passed so many Bills that would tie Obama’s hands and cut spending plus much more to halt Obama only to have Harry Reid refuse to bring any up for a vote. You won’t influence me, and; I do not know anyone with your view. Frankly there will always be some of one party I will not like and some of those I like that others will not, but; they beat having a DEM vote yes automatically for the Obama agenda.

As I told a friend this week who was excited at the possibility that the Rs might gain control of both houses this time:

It won’t amount to a f@rt in a tornado if the Rs don’t have the male tackle to actually DO something to turn this Nation to the right.

WITHOUT that male tackle, nothing positive will get done. My family used to have a Livestock Sale Barn, and we had a poster up inside the Pay window in the office: NO BUSINESS DONE ON SUNDAYS! AND DAMN LITTLE THE REST OF THE WEEK’ That is pretty much what I expect out of this crop.

Republicans don't want to change the system - they just want to be first in line to get the loot.

That is why they fight the Tea Party and conservatives harder than they fight democrats.

If they win the senate they will do just what they did in the eight years Bush was president:

Pig out at the trough and stuff their pockets and the pockets of their pals.

That is absolute nonsense. You think Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz won’t have a voice? They can stop a lot of things from happening. They can stop a lot of things from hitting the senate floor.

Then the Senate blocks radical Obama appointments.

You're full of crap. 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.

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.

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.

What we have seen is eight years of your strategy of letting Democrats win elections make things much worse.

What the hell is YOUR strategy? You have none.

Then, Democrats control the Senate and are able to thwart whatever agenda a conservative President might be able to pas in 2017. Brilliant!
