There are some on here willing to sacrifice the senate to Obama because they didn't get what they wanted (I didn't get 100% what I wanted either).

How smart is cutting your nose off to spite your face?

I cannot reason with people that think it's okay to let Obama have control of the senate for this last two years. Yeah, I don't like the GOPe either but I am not willing to throw the nation and our children under a bus to make my point.

Yep we don’t want to have senate candidates on the spot of what they think of an attorney general nominee or what they think of amnesty for illegals.

The first step to solving a problem is to accurately assess the problem.

You know, as well as do the rest of us readers, that you will never be able to solve the problem.

You must first be honest about the situation, and your statement indicates you aren't willing to do that.

Obama has been on hold since 2010

So he’s simply doing what he can - which is use his bully pulpit to agitate, to use the biased government apparatus to seek political advantage, and to allow debt and government spending to grow.

One by one, the Obama administration is setting aside key priorities, in the hope of saving seats of nervous Democrats: (1) Immigration reform E/O; (2) Enrollment in Obamacare now six weeks later; (3) delaying announcement of the president's radical liberal nominee for attorney general.....

VOTER FRAUD ALERT: These are smoke screens----b/c massive Dummycrat voter fraud is going on----Obama can then say, "See, my actions helped win the day for Dems."

===============================================

BE ON THE ALERT Secretaries of state in every state accept reports of voter fraud.

==============================================

ATTENTION IOWA---Course, it's hard to think like Team-O's criminal Chicago politicians---but I'm petty certain a lot of money to facilitate Dummycrat voter fraud will be used extensively in Iowa--- b/c if Dummy Braley loses, the long knives will be out for Michelle for screwing up her campaign appearance there....calling Braley "Bailey."

After all, now that she finally "likes" her country and has a bit of self-esteem after "years of oppression" in elite schools.....the Obama criminal vote fraud machine can't let her royal ambitions be tarnished...even if reading a campaign poster is beyond her meager intellect.

There was a time when a president, faced with the possibility of having both houses of congress dominated by the opposing party, would try to cram through as much as possible through congress before that opposing party took over. But Obama’s handlers know that a Republican majority in both houses of congress won't make a difference. The thugs have either intimidated or paid off the opposition. Congress will just roll over and let the king do whatever he wants.

"Yeah, I don't like the GOPe either..."

The MSM has had a vendetta against the GOP and conservatives these last ten or so years.....the truth about WMD, Bush, and Republican controlled Congress probably is somewhat skewed don'tcha think?

We are however, getting a load of scat about voter ID being suppressive again...think about this:

India has 1.27 billion people, 400 million of them earn less than $1.25 per day. Yet every single voter in India has a Voter ID

Democrats in the USA, led by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama, along with Democrat cheer leader, Debbie Wasserman Shultz….. Call that “Voter Suppression”.

Transparency = We Have To Wait Until After The Election….

Posted on October 18, 2014

Obviously if President Obama and the Democrat party were working diligently on behalf of the U.S. electorate they would be rushing to reveal the success of their programs and policies prior to the election.

transparency-lies

So what does it mean when so many critical subjects, topics, policies, programs and consequences, have their public release dates pushed back until after the election?

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out the results of the Bowe Bergdahl investigation:

The Army has completed its investigation into Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s abandonment of his Afghan post but will not release the report until after the midterm elections lest it embarrass the Obama administration. (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out how much the Obamacare health insurance premiums are going to be:

Those planning to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchange will soon find out how much rates have increased — after the Nov. 4 election. (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out the if our health insurance policies are cancelled for the upcoming year:

The new plan cancellations will be sent out after the elections! The delay has been made unilaterally by the Administration because it involves millions of people who are about to lose their insurance that they hoped to keep but which Obama has determined is inferior.  (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out what President Obama plans to do with executive action and immigration reform:

President Barack Obama says he’s postponing executive action on immigration until after November’s elections because it would be “more sustainable” then.  (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out who the nominee for U.S. Attorney General is going to be:

President Barack Obama does not plan to announce his choice for attorney general before the November elections, shielding the nomination from the midterm election politics while setting up a potential year-end showdown with the lame duck Senate. (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to find out what Fast and Furious documents were withheld from public release by the White House and DOJ:

[...] the judge also said she saw no reason to allow the Justice Department to withhold unprivileged documents until the case was complete. She ordered those records turned over to the committee by Nov. 3, along with a log of the records claimed to be privileged. (link)

♦  We have to wait until after the election to see what President Obama’s actual plan to combat ISIS is going to be, and whether congress supports it:

Senate Democrats plan to debate and vote on a broad resolution authorizing military strikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after the election, dodging the danger of angering liberal voters this fall.  (link)

♦  And we still don’t know if we will have to wait until after the election to find out when the Eric Holder led DOJ/CRS will permit the release of the Saint Louis Grand Jury investigation into whether Mike Brown’s shooting was justified….

Oh PUH-LEEZE. The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that's just great, because it will give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.

Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.

You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:

The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate

Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.

The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.

Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.

It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.
