RINOs will stall the nomination of pres. Appointees? Didn’t the RINOS give up that right? They signed it away....

What on earth are you talking about? Reid changed the filibuster rules precisely because Republican Senators would slow walking, putting holds on and filibustering Obama's judicial and administrative appointees.

And usually in the last 2 years during a Presidential lame duck, the opposition in the Senate (especially if they control it) does everything they can to stop, block, slow down and otherwise grind to a halt said President's judicial/administrative picks.

A Republican majority leader in the Senate means far fewer of Obama's judicial/administrative nominees get through. Period.

Some people here seem to forget this whole 3rd branch of government thing. It's not just the Executive and Legislative branches that matter, the Judiciary is equally important and until we take the Senate, Obama has free reign to stack the courts with far left judges - especially because Reid changed the filibuster rules.

So what else you got?

That's pretty much all I need right there.

Grow up. We lost one race to a 30+ year incumbent that plays as dirty as can be. You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater because you've got your panties in a bunch. Taking the US Senate is THE most important thing that can come out of 2014.

Don’t ask me “what on earth are you talking about? “ about a widely known issue, then proceed to lecture me on the ins and is outs of the Senate. If the last 2 years, lame duck, ate SO important, then why did the Republicans in the Senate give over the filibuster right?

Stop defending the piece of crap RINOS. They suck as bad as the Democrats.
