You’re damn right wer’re not stupid. The RATS tried to take a senate seat in a state where only 31% of the people voted for Obola.

And exactly what will come of those “hearings”? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

BTW, remember the excitement generated when Trey Gowdy was appointed to head the hearings on Benghazi? And they have done, what? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

What can we expect of Congress now with the Whigs in control? NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

The only reason most Americans have even heard of the IRS and other scandals is because of the hearings. It keeps the issue in the public eye if nothing else.

Yes, I wish they had a guy that could close out these things with indictments. Issa has certainly been a disappointment in that department. Besides repealing Obamacare, hearings are one of their more useful functions.

Great job.

Pressure on McConnell needs to be non-stop starting with a movement to keep him out of the Leader position.

I'm really loathe to scroll this thread lest the warm glow of yesterday's shellacking be dimmed by the GOPusansy reality of today.

... Now that the Republicans now control Congress ... it’s obviously time to surrender to the Democrats.

“If 0bola refuses to sign the repeal bill, then piecemeal/chip away at it, until it’s undone. Votes will be on record for 2016.”

That’s exactly the strategy Cruz outlined last night. Sure wish he’d be majority leader.

They are useful only when someone goes to jail. Otherwise, it degenerates into “He’s a crook” kabuki theater.

Am I cynical? You betcha!

Actually,

It only takes about 12 Democrat senators to defect and it is veto proof.

If you want to have fun, bring Obamacare up for a vote again. Make Democrats vote for it all over again... I wouldn’t be surprised if more than 12 Democrat senators defected... They want to get elected again...

I think it would be fun to bring Obamacare up for a vote again... Let Democrats defend it all over again. It only takes 12 Democrat senators to vote against it and it is veto proof. They have no president to please anymore.

So what did he say about ‘close the borders first’, ebola VISAs, quarantines, and did he ever apologize to the Tea Party?

Unfortunately, only ten Democrat senators are running in 2016, and eight of them are invulnerable.

Boehners speaking now and started out by trumpeting for McConnell as Leader...and how close they’ve worked together.

No surprise...they are attempting to set the “fix”.

...”Must we keep assuming this guy will be the senate majority leader?”....

Does look that way... Boehner’s already tooting his horn now for McConnell, as if it’s a done deal.... Sounds like the same ol’ crap the Rep’s have handled down time and again....musical chairs in motion.

...”November 05, 2014, 02:57 am
Ted Cruz: ‘Under no circumstances’ will I run for majority leader”....

Perhaps he thinks he accomplish more not being that? ....Maybe “push” McConnell behind the scenes works best since he may run for President...dust needs to settle all around.
