Hear, hear! Notice there is no talk of the GOP actually reducing staffers - just keeping the same amount to reward their cronies, friends and relatives.

Who remembers this weeping, gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes in ‘06?

I don’t think Hillary will be the Democrat nominee but that said you are right. We will hear the we must go with Jeb or Christie brigade.

If you will remember, there was a contest between RATS in ‘06 to get the best pic of them out sweeping - ‘cleaning house of the GOP’.

We should start a contest but using flame-throwers.

I dunno if she will or just grab lots of cash and bail, but really, she’s just a figurehead/example. Whatever dems run, the RINO’s will Satanify them as the most threatening Cuthulu level evil we have faced in the history of facing evil so you hate puppies if you won’t elect the next Romney level offering from the GOP.

Same worn out script rehashed for one more go. There was a thread filled with the fraud wing of conservatism this morning all having another group justification for their political cowardice.

Unfortunately there will be dozens to hundreds of newly minted judges Reid says he will push through on 51-vote margins

Hopefully, this will be the start of a major purge of federal deadwood, along with those known to have broken the law, with a bar for them to future employment.

It’s not like they have any actual skills to compete in the general workforce.

That happens every Election and more so where a branch of the Government changes hands.

Yep. Non-story. The media only scream when it happens to Democrats.

in January 1995, I was out in Georgetown with some friends and we were offered a drink by this very attractive young woman. We asked her why and she said that her boss was retiring (democrat senator Sasser or Deconcini) and she wanted to use up her expense allotment before the switchover.
Ahh, good times..

Do you think she’ll be doing the same thing this January? Or buying gift cards for herself?

Well, if they are DemocRAT staffers, no families will be hurt.

Why is it that a Republican loses a republican job and a Democrat loses a democrat(ic) job?

Would an Independent lose an independent(ic) job?
