Thanks to incumbents Snowe, Collins and Brown voting with democatS ON THE FINANCIAL BILL not to mention NO FILIBUSTER OF KAGAN!
Republicans?? We have a bunch of capons running and clucking when the Rats say something back to them,That has to change.
These )@&@)^&^!* idiots!
If they can’t filibuster a toxic mediocrity like Kagan, forget it.
We live in a banana republic, and they’re Banana Republicans.
“Senior Senate Republicans” never were into ANY heavy lifting. Never want to get thier hands dirty I guess.
I think there is a very real possibility the Repubs could win control of the Senate in 2010. Isn’t it funny how this MSM article mirrors earlier MSM articles that stated the Repubs could never pick up the House in 2010? I don’t read that anymore.
This shouldn’t surprise many people, because with very few exceptions the Republicans hadn’t determined how to govern by 2006, after taking control of Congress in 1994.
Why lead, why rock the boat, why set goals? Heck, so much easier to just go-along-get-along.
If they can take CA, WA and WI, they can do it. Those states right now are very close.
Senate Dim-bulb-crats are stupid and sleazy.
Senate Repulsicans are slightly less sleazy, but way more stupid.
See what happens when there is no IQ test for “public service”.
As much as I hate & despise the demoRAT socialist commie pigs - 0b0z0, Pelosi & Reid, I wish that we had Repubs especially in teh Senate to be as hard ass & ideological as the socialist bastards. If so, maybe we could fire up the people to come out & vote & support. Instead when most of Repubs are measily talking about winning a few elections, etc, no wonder the demoRATs play them for fools. What a bunch of pandering idiots.
Nor should they be. House Dems may not want to reserve their U-Haul truck to take their junk back home just yet, either!!
But, just for fun, let me play devil's advocate. What if the 'Pubbies take control of the Senate AND the House??? What then?? If history is any value, their stewardship of these houses of Congress will be no better than the Dems' has been. They did okay in the early days of the Contract with America, but the bloom was quickly off the rose when they allowed themselves to be seduced by their lust for power.
As we all know, their abandonment of their conservative roots led to the losses in '06 and '08. So, what has changed in the last 2 years in the GOP (aka Stupid Party) to make us believe that a return to power of the GOP is going to be America's saving grace!!??? They are as bereft of ideas as the Dems and all we are going to do is repeat the acts of the past in hopes that they will yield a different result in the future. They won't. The 'Pubbies will simply lift a corner of the carpet and sweep the dirt under it because it's easier and won't interfere with Happy Hour at the club at 5 o'clock!! IOW, NOTHING will get fixed. The 'Pubbies are NOT the good guys on white chargers coming to rescue us.
In short, they are gutless politicians (like the Dems) whose sole concern is their next election (like the Dems) and being overpaid (like the Dems) for screwing the country (like the Dems) that they have no devotion or dedication towards (like the Dems) and growing their power (like the Dems)!! So, in truth, what are we REALLY expecting them to do???
I am sick and tired of a goddam go-along-get-along Repub Senator talking about how we gotta work together, cooperate, meet in the middle. Screw the goddam opposition, screw those Republicans! They are nothing but a bunch of bullshit chickens too comfortable with their trappings of second tier power. No ambition, no drive, no morals, no patriotism, no HONOR. Screw them all.

Remember, most of them were on the public payroll for years, if not decades, before getting to Washington. 29 of them have been in Washington more than 12 years, which is the point where the odds of any common sense remaining becomes mathmatically impossible.
If "republican" Mark Kirk wins in Illinois, he will outSnowe, outCollins, outBrown and outRINO generally, the entire senate.
The problem here is that we MAY take control and these
fools will be unprepared to move and move quickly to
make the changes we need.
I think Snow and Collins are going to find themselves in hostile territory next time they are up. Brown has been kind of splitting the difference. I think he is making a mistake. He is very much killing his chances at ever running successfully for the Presidency which is stupid. The man could be leading MA to a more conservative end instead he is giving the Dems votes at exactly the time when the GOP should be using this as a time to stall the Dems in every way possible.
They have no plans to lead, and thus they will never get the opportunity. No vision, no spine, and no clue.
With “friends” like this, conservatives don’t need enemies.
If the Republicans won control if the Senate, would anyone notice, considering how ball-less they are?
