What you are seeing here, on the part of Dana Milbank, is a little doublethink. Either way, whether Harry Reid stays in power or is bulldozed out of the majority, it will be “good” for the Current Occupant. Mostly, it is an attempt to psyche out the Republicans, “Heads I win, Tails you lose” sort of thing.
The Liberal Establishment is still convinced the ratchet only works one way - that when the progressive movement makes a gain, it cannot ever be reversed. Therefore, even when an apparent reverse DOES happen, they still “win”.
Time for us to bust the dog on that ratchet. It will then spin backwards, with nary a chance the action will function again until the weights hit the ground. (If you ever worked with an old-fashioned cuckoo clock, you know what I’m talking about.)
I guess the Republicans will frustrate Obama again, because they’ve pretty much deliberately scuttled any chance of winning the Senate, like they did in 2010.
I’m pretty sure Cochran is gone in Mississippi, and things don’t look good for McConnell in Kentucky; so there’s a likely loss of two right out of the gate.
Add in declaring war on the base and letting Obama run roughshod over the Constitution and the rule of law—I’m wondering what the GOP has given conservatives to vote for in November.
America needs a defunding of the Federal Gov IRS, EPA, and DHS in that order.
To begin the process of taking back public power and control we can begin
with a 20% cut across the board.
Either whistling past the graveyard or too lazy to check his facts. The Democrats owned the House and the Senate from 2006 onwards. Congressional ratings were pretty abysmal. In 2008, Obama crushed McCain, and Democrats got an even bigger majority in both the House and the Senate.
I see no difference between Reid and McConnell.
The purpose of a politician is to get reelected.
It depends on the nominee. What if it is Eric Holder?
‘Rats = Detroit. The GOPe is worthless.
What about the illegal-alien-turned-Democrat-voter influx between now and November? I’m a bit worried about that..
Okay, that one might go down to the wire
A strong argument for term limits.
You can hide your own Easter eggs.
It may be much worse (for the country) than that.Knowing that he'll never be removed from office through impeachment,Osama Obama may very well use loss of the Senate as a reason to just do *anything* and *everything* he wants by Executive Order and/or by instructing his Attorney Corporal to look the other way when confronted with certain types of lawlessness.Add to that his refusal to obey subpoenas he might get from Congress (by claiming "Executive Privilege") and you see him moving closer to his Inner Mao.
Death can be fun.
Add Michelle Nunn in Georgia and the Democrats might actually pick up three seats.
Honestly, I don't see the GOP taking the Senate this time around but sending Cochran and McConnell packing will be a small price to pay.
