No, I don’t want more business as usual where the rats lurch 5 steps left then the pubbies stumble one step back to the right and call it balance!

What I really want is for the pubbies to jam all the crap that has been stuffed down our throats up the rats butts!

I want Mitchell gone.

We have to continue to hold their feet to the fire. Mitchell and his old fart buddies think we have no other good choice. Well we do... and it does not leave them standing.

The message from voters is clear: They want us to work together.

The message from the voters, you malignant little turd, is that we DO NOT WANT YOU LEADING OUR SENATE ANYMORE!!!

Get that through your thick head you degenerate a$$hole!!

I also am concerned for the predictability that McConnell will bend over and grab his ankles just as Harry suggests. My ray of hope is that Cruz upsets McConnell and wins the Leadership Chair.

you know the RNC is threatening all their membership right now with dollars they will not get if they stand with Ted. F the GOPe!

When Democrats are in power, it's their way or the highway.

When they are out of power, the Republicans have a moral responsibility to "compromise."

I would prefer him work with Cruz to get things undone.

No.
Reid just knows a sucker when sees one.
And he knows McConnell is a sucker.
Watch for the Senate ‘Pubbies to offer some sort of “power sharing” agreement.

The first item on the Republican Senate’s agenda should be real filibuster reform. After the orgy of lame duck appointments that we are going to see Reid push through the Senate over the next two months it should be easy to argue that we are on the side of reform.

1. Reinstate the filibuster for all judicial appointments. Lifetime judicial appointments are too important to be approved by only 50 Senators and the Vice President. Leave executive branch appointments as they are. They will all be gone when the next president is elected and if any Republican Senators break ranks to approve far left wing Obama executive appointments then we can target them in the next primaries. Besides, Obama is going to fill every important executive vacancy with far left wing appointments during the lame duck session.

2. Abolish the legislative filibuster or at the very least require a “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” talk until you drop style filibuster for legislation.

No. 1 is a no brainer. If the Republicans fail to do this then they are insane. Obama’s far left wing judicial appointments will be legislating from the bench for the next 30 years. 40 Senators should have the power to to block any one of them.

No. 2 should also be a no brainer, but it is doubtful that McConnell will have the balls. The only argument against it is that it will be used against the Republicans whenever the Democrats regain control of the Senate someday. That is a stupid, bullsh!t argument.

That was the same argument used to stop the Republican controlled Senate from using the so-called “nuclear option” when the Democrats were filibustering all of Bush’s judicial appointments. So the Republicans caved. Guess what? Reid did not hesitate to do it when it suited the Democrat controlled Senate.

The Democrats will do whatever they want to do when they regain control of the Senate. It does not matter what the Republicans do to the Democrats.

So take a page from Reid’s playbook and use raw political power to halt the Democrats and stop caring what sort of precedent it will set.

As the disaster to the Dems was revealed across the country last night, I never heard one commentator say ‘now the Dems/Obama must compromise with the Republican leadership.’

It was always ‘the Republicans have to compromise with Obama.’

==

I did notice that the commentators on CNN were not too kind or providing cover for Obama, however. They were very critical of him. Of course, last evening was the start of the media and other Dems separating themselves from Obama and his policies for the 2016 election.

Reid to Mitch McConnell: Americans Want Us to 'Work Together'

All I can say is, my response when I read that was enough to cause my dog, Skeeter, to come running from the other room to see what was wrong.

Wouldn’t it be great if McConnell could muster up a nano gram of testosterone, and put Reid in his place? Just once, as a morale builder after six eight years of being punked. Doesn’t have to be crass, but let the people that supported the Republicans, and Harry Reid know you can play the bully game too.

Hey Harry... work together? Like you did? How many bills on your desk you never presented? Take a hike, Harry. You’re a dinosaur.

“Ever notice how the only time Democrats talk about “working together” and “sharing power” is right after they get their butts kicked?”

Yep, like the muzzies: “Why can’t we get along?” (At least until we re-load.)

Under the Democrats, ramming through what they wanted—even if the American people were squarely against, but it’s for the greater good, right?—was called the `constitutional option’; when the `pubs are calling the shots, however, it’s the dreaded “nuclear option”!

Obama is getting ready to play tyrant, continuing to usurp the legislative and financial functions of a co-equal branch of goverment.
So will the Senate say, “Oh, that 67 requirement is just obiter dictum. We’re filing a bill of indictment for impeachment.”

crickets, sole tumbleweed slowly rolling by ....
I’m thinking it will be something like, `OK, we have both houses. But let’s not be hasty, little Tea Hobbits. Now we need the WH. Send us more money and votes’/

No, Harry, I want you to FOAD.

And I do not want McConnell as majority leader at all.
