If the lame duck congress passes a CR funding the gov. through next year which appears to be the Republican plan, what are we going to do then with the dry powder and revenge? Essentially they destroy any sway the new Congress would have. And if the Repusslicans won’t fight now having just won a land slide election do you honestly think they will fight in 2016 with a presidential election looming.
I swear to God I would love to play poker with the GOP leadership, they are so damned stupid they would tell me what was in their hands each time the cards were dealt and their intentions.
I have never seen such inept stupidity and incompetence on display by these buffoons in leadership roles and I am being charitable with the buffoon description. Either that or they are intentionally doing this because they are really behind what the liberal democrats want. Has to be one of the two.
I’m not sure about the CR.
But these three things I am reasonably certain:
1) Soetoro will be POTUS until January 20, 2017.
2) There will be no government shut down.
3) There will be no impeachment.
Elections have consequences. Yes conservatives and Republicans have something to celebrate with the election results from last month. But we still have divided government and we do not have the 2/3 vote required to override presidential vetoes. We do have the power of the purse and I am hoping we will see a significant reduction or a least a slow down in federal spending these next two years. But that all said, I don’t think much will be accomplished these next two years. The way our government is set up, you really cannot accomplish much unless you have the presidency and both houses of congress under the control of one party. The GOP’s hand has been strengthened, but most of the positive change we will see will come from the individual states. We still have divided government in DC. We still have pretty much stalemate. I don’t expect much to happen in DC until there is a COMPLETE change of government in DC.
