Mitch: "What Mandate?"
Vanity ^ | 11/5/14 | pgyanke

Posted on 11/05/2014 5:27:13 AM PST by pgyanke

From an election results article published by Heritage:

"Shortly before midnight, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada congratulated current Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, saying McConnell would succeed him as Republicans regained control of the Senate for the first time since 2006.

“I don’t expect the president to wake up tomorrow and view the world any different than he did this morning,” McConnell said hours earlier, after winning his own race. “He knows I won’t either.”

Great, Mitch... great.

The republicans better have amandate in place to rid Dc of the corruption and Obumbler or there will be hell to pay in 2016. Do not squander the opportunity. No reaching across the aisle - chop some worthless pieces of garbage off in DC. Start with Obama Biden Holder, Pelosi and Reid - Rid America of these parasites. Failure to do so the voters will oust you next.

Both of bozo’s need to be replaced with my picks

Gowdy for the House
Cruz for the Senate

Then, watch things happen.

I don’t expecting McConnell or Obama to change much either. They’re both too old and stupid to learn a new way.

Agreed. This isn’t all about R and D it is about CLEANING HOUSE and McConnell is a dust bunny that needs to be swept out.

No fan of Mitch---but his victory speech was awesome. And that nice gesture to traditional woman---acknowledging his wife in his life and "by his side."

I have to tell you Mitch, but I'm getting kind of weepy.

Calm down John! It wasn't a mandate!

Remember when the dems used the nuclear option to get appointments through? Mitch came out later saying that if repubs got control, they’d set it back to 60% cloture. What a fool. You think they’d slap the dems w/that by running their appointments through w/50% cloture as payback.

Talk about bringing a pillow to a gunfight.

p.s., On Fox last night they had a CA repub there and asked if he’d vote to repeal commie care, he said he’d vote to replace it.

Sheesh.

With such significant changes in the layout, folks like Mitch may indeed make dramatic changes in their operating. It is way too early to know how this is going to shake out, but it is definitely not the time to conducting a dental exam of the gift horse.

In true RINO fashion, the GOP mandate will carry the flag for the Democrats.

So Mitch and the Sultan are in agreement on that point as they have been on so much else.

Ted Cruz doesn’t have to keep the stupid promises Mitch has made.

Cruz for Majority Leader!

We have to ride these bastards until they have galls on their sides.

We have to drive them hard all the way through the 2016 election if we want to prevent another commie (Mrs. Bill “I sold missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs” Clinton) from taking the WH.
