Senate GOP Hawks Vote to Keep Sequester Cuts (That are Destroying Our Military)
With "friends" like these.........
Can’t be true. The GOP-E got all the “electable” candidates they wanted, right?
On to victory! Onward, the mushy middle!
nothing happens
the GOP is putting up a bunch of liberal RINO’s
I pray not.
Not to worry. The GOPe doesn’t want the Senate, and with their “strategy” of running on not being Democrats, they won’t get it.
Some wise person on this site several years ago said it makes no difference, we are voting for which form of nominal socialism we want for the next four years (or six in this case). How very true.
What happens if the GOP wins the Senate?
Mitch “turtle neck” McConnell reinstates the filibuster as a show of goodwill for his “friends across the aisle”. After the press conference, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer give Mitch a swirlie in the Senate john.
From 2014 to 2016, the GOP rubberstamps the democrat agenda. When their constituents ask “WTF?”, they shake their heads solemntly, make sighing noises and say “If only we held the presidency.”

I am extremely surprised?
The only difference in the here and now is that Obama would actually have to Veto things instead of Reid.
Of course the Republiquacks will probably muck that up too.
my prediction is absolutely nothing i want to happen.
But the outlook has turned murkier in recent weeks.
The better to commit voter fraud with, my dear.
The fact that this is not in the bag is a testament to how little the GOP is talking about the issues and their plans to solve problems.
Not much change will take place even if they also win the WH.
For most of the year, it seemed almost certain that Republicans would win the six additional U.S. Senate seats ....
I hope no one was foolish enough to believe that.
If the Republicans win they will immediately institute a power sharing agreement with the democrats and reach across the aisle to compromise so they can win praise from the media and “get things done in Washington”. Expect more spending on everything except defense.Amnesty,more HB 1 visas,more campaign finance reform aka speech restrictions,and crony capitalism will be the gifts that the GOP leadership will help bestow.They will also agree Obama Care is settled law and Obama has the right to stack the courts with communists of his choosing..
Smaller government? Religious Liberty? Reagan’s vision?We’ll tell those people to sit down and shut up right Lindsey? Yeah the GOP taking over the Senate is going to do a lot for conservatives!
how many people here think that we should still
be in Iraq and losing 5000 men dead and spending
1$trillion a year.
just curious
Pelosi craps her Depends????
From the article: “Obama ‘needs to be challenged, and the best way to do that is through the funding process,’ McConnell told Politico last month. ‘We’re going to pass spending bills, and they’re going to have a lot of restrictions on the activities of the bureaucracy.’”
Interesting comment, no? But all I read in here is carping.
Here are my forecasts:
#1: Senator McConnell and the rest of the GOP takes the lead from Senator Reid and dump the filibuster for all legislation. That solves the 60-vote problem and will enable the House and Senate to act as one and send the President some interesting budget bills.
#2: The Continuing Resolution will be no more. Instead, we’ll be back to individual spending bills, and not necessarily department-wide bills either.
#3: All of those rogue agencies that have ignored Congressional investigations will see their budgets severely curtailed with funds appropriated only for essential needs, and even, in some cases, no budget at all, with essential needs transferred to another department.
#4: With the power of the purse in hand, Congressional investigators will meet far less resistance when they call witnesses.
Regardless what most of you naysayers in here think, Senator McConnell is no dummy when it comes to the legislative process. I think some very interesting things are going to happen if the GOP takes over the Senate. Everyone here seems to think the GOP will meekly “go along to get along.” I doubt it very much, and think that Senator McConnell and Repr. Boehner have already come up with plenty of ways to even the score for the way they’ve been treated for the past six years. Payback is a bitch, and it’s coming.
But hey, the GOP leadership is a bunch of wimps and nothing is going to happen, right? If you all say so....
I know. Scott Walker is down by 2 points right now in Wisconsin.
