Open to guests...a simple Yes or No Poll...
Often times I am not sure it will really matter, and it looks like we shall see.
I don’t know but I certainly hope so.
I agree with you. It will not surprise me when some “power sharing” bullshit comes out of the Senate. The Republicans of today seem to like being the cuckolds of the political structure in this country.
They are already saying they will restore the rules to make it easier for the minority party to filibuster
Yes.
But conservatives won’t win control of the House- which was the big story this election.
Conservatives will be a little stronger, but RINO House members are doing better than it looked like they would.
Wonder the same thing. Guessing that it won’t.
If they do they’ll probably elect Reid as their leader
I think you may be right — the party has no interest in standing for anything, so why wouldn't they roll over when told?
(I no longer underestimate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.)
Yes
They don’t deserve it and will squander every opportunity as does boehner in the house.
without a doubt, they will. I hope they don’t squander their gains and America is the winner.
maybe we will but it also depends how much they screw it up and also how many liberaltarians come to the liberals rescue as usual
I would like my team to win.
Fortunately my team is growing and will determine many things for years to come.
Unfortunately, my team is not organized yet and may never be.
But I am sure my team will rally around a person of principles and traditional conservative values from whichever party such a person should arise.
My team is not the republican party.
And my team is not the democrat party.
“They are already saying they will restore the rules to make it easier for the minority party to filibuster”
Name and cite “they?”
...Republicans like Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ) agree with [Rand] Paul regarding the steps the GOP should take with the rules if they capture the Senate’s majority.
“Change the rules back right away. I would change the rules back to have to get 60 votes to put the judge or an executive nominee. Why would we not want that tool available to us? I think it would be political malpractice of the Republican Party to not change the rules back and require 60 votes,” Graham told Breitbart News, noting Reid’s power grab “has turned the Senate into the House.”
Maybe they should start demanding the new Obamacare rates be published before the elections. Bet they’re going to go through the roof and will blame it on ebola.
It doesn’t matter. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
If a Republican-controlled Senate acts anything like the House, I think it will matter as a positive.
Thank you all for voting....it will be open for 5 days to those who would like to vote..
