A new Republican Congress should message that they're tired of obsessing about Obama's mistakes. Everybody knows about those. The trick now is to focus on solutions. On change. On saying, "We can do this. We can fix this."

"Can" and "will" are two very different things.

Not if any "unaccompanied child" that makes it across the border can vote.

The idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong.

Maybe I'm a "glass is half empty" guy,

but Little Johnny Boehner has had, and will continue to have, his nose so far up 0bama's butt that he hasn't seen daylight in years, so I don't expect the House to be changed; and

McConnell is a doddering old fool, who should've been sent packing years ago and is symbolic of the worst of the GOP-e. He is better than the mob boss Harry Reid, though, but certainly not dynamic.

Keep Karl Rove far away from everything. Announce why you are passing the legislation and counter attack the dimoKKKRATS and the press. Don’t remain silent.

I’m hopeful, but not really optimistic. Last time Republicans had it all, all we got was more spending and bigger government. Until true conservative principals are applied, nothing much will change.

[DakotaGator]

The idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong. The politics and policies in Washington are about to change in a major way.

A wonderful dream. But I must live in reality. Should these two match up it will be a great day for America and the world.

“will be able to move forward the reform ideas of his caucus and House policy leaders like Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, Kevin Brady and many others.”

I’m so inspired!

Angus King, crossing the isle? NO, he, like Snowe before him will just flow with the money! As with Snowe before him, when important votes are to be taken he’ll do what is best for him and everyone else be damned!

[EternalVigilance]

Every single time a budget bill has passed since the Unaffordable don’tCare Act went into effect, the GOP “leadership” has continued to fully fund it.

What do you think the chances are, under a GOP majority in both Houses, that they will defund Obamacare?

[boycott]

The Republicans are going to recapture the Senate ....

Hold off, Larry. We’re not even sure the republicans are going to win Kansas and Georgia.

[Keen-Minded]

I’m not so sure it will be the landslide that everyone is hoping for this election. The polls show the races are tighting a lot.

[Vaduz]

Obama may veto everything.
Not if he’s out numbered.

[SpeakerToAnimals]

And Mitch McConnell, as Senate majority leader, will be able to move forward the reform ideas of his caucus and House policy leaders like Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, Kevin Brady and many others.

After I stopped laughing I realized this is a good reason to not vote for republicans. Because if this is what they will do if given power, they should not be given power.

"Hensarling also emphasized the need to expand the energy revolution and to stop the massive overregulation that has stunted growth. 'The regulatory red-tape burden, which violates the Founding Fathers' Federalist paper 47 by diminishing the rule of law and increasing bureaucratic power in the executive branch at the expense of the constitutionally mandated legislative branch, has got to be stopped.'"

Republicans, if they are fortunate enough to retake the Senate, must not throw away what may be America's last and only attempt to restore individual liberty and the rule of law, and that task can only be accomplished by restoring the ideas and principles essential to liberty to the "American mind" of 2014 and forward.

Else, 2016 will occur with a still-constitutionally-illiterate voter pool, and determined "progressives" will dominate public discussion.

Technology has made it possible for an innovative group of liberty lovers to capsulize and publicize the ideas which allowed individual freedom to flourish in the first place. So-called "progressives" no longer must be allowed to censor them out of textbooks, hide the Founders' writings in far-away and dusty stacks of libraries, or eliminate them from public discussion because they claim they violate some artificial PC standard they made up.

The opportunity to accomplish that task may have a short shelf life; therefore, those who want to pass on to future generations a nation where "freedom rings" had better begin restoring the ideas of liberty to a nation whose prevailing coercive power centers deny the very ideas which gave birth to freedom and opportunity.

It worked during Billy Jeffs term.

Of course Billy Jeff is an American citizen, unlike Hussein, but still the thought of Hussein having to actually do some work if nice.

The idea that the idea that nothing much will change if the GOP captures the whole Congress is just plain wrong.

It’s not going to make any difference. The Obama won’t be
impeached and prosecuted, neither will anyone in his
administration. Obamacare wont be thrown out. The IRS
wont be reformed or abolished. It will be pretty much
the same as the last time they had the majority in both
houses during baby Bush, more socialism, collectivism.
