I think the best way to go is to force Obummer to veto popular legislation he doesn’t want and then make the case for a conservative Republican president in 2016.

Agree with every word of your eloquent, elegant post. I read it several times in-fact. You are exactly right, this is how it will unfold..

Do muzzies ever concede defeat?

Only when they’re water boarded. I’m all for it.

The only thing to stop him is for the republican leaders to call on the people to ignore his executive orders.

"Not defiant - petulant. He has the character of a spoiled six year old."

And should be treated as such. "You go to putt putt. We're the adults and will handle business."

When we bounce this jerk out of office he should be made to polish that desk before he goes to prison.

Two remedies:

1) OVERRIDE OBAMA'S VETOES

2) IMPEACH!!!

Not enough votes for either of those

Cut funding

Obama ceased developing emotionally at about the age of 6. That is when he started to be sexually abused by his transgender, cross-dressing nanny. He ceased maturing at that point.

This!!! Also, focus on reform efforts from within the context of a budget, while proclaiming over and over that we haven't had an actual budget for Obama's entire presidency.

Exactly. Even if those things are vetoed and you can't override...you get the dims ON RECORD opposing sensible...much needed reform to ACA.

It's a win...win. A win for the American People if O signs it...and a win for the GOP if 45 dims vote against it.

This is EXACTLY what Harry Reid was trying to prevent all these years: Getting his party on record. The slaughter last night would have been much worse had the dims actually had a voting record to defend.

I agree partially with your sentiment...but don't think its necessary to keep good bills back. Here's why:

Obama is no Bill Clinton. Love him or hate him...you have to admit BC was a political animal bent on survival at all costs...even if it meant throwing his ideology out the window. He was a great politician and triangulator.

Obama is not. He is a classic narcisistic sociopath. He is incapable of compromising his ideology because in his mind its not about meeting in the middle and taking the credit...its about the fact you are all idiots because you can't see his brilliance...and his goal is to save you from your own stupid self.

And that is why you give him keystone...medical device tax repeal...corporate tax relief....because while it makes perfect sense to you and I...it rubs against his ideology and therefore must be stopped at ALL costs...even if it costs the democrats EVERYTHING.

He is one of those people who have to be right...and he'll burn the world down to prove it.

So what will the GOP do then when Obama refuses to sign a congressional budget bill into law that cuts funding? McConnell has already declared that no government shutdowns will take place under his watch. Boehner meanwhile has already taken the impeachment option off the table.

I can honestly say, I wish I was more excited about the election results last night but I don’t think the GOP party leadership has the drive or stomach to stop Obama’s tyrannical overreach.

Obama can say what he likes but he will be “told” exactly how the next 2 years will run, he is no longer in charge,today the party takes control, his era is over and he will be “told” in no uncertain terms.

Party machine will take over. 2016 starts today.

At least we can breathe a bit lighter about the next 2 years with the USSC.

Yep all we need are more like Roberts, the gift from GW.

The republicans will not do anything. LOL. The fact that there is no discussion about removing McC from the senate leadership position indicates how wrong it is for conservatives to keep wasting their votes on the GOP.

You’re exchanging with some who’s been ready to help make the GOP the third party for the last 16 years.

Listening to Rush about how the NY Times praises the GOP leaders for putting the tea party in their place.

When Bush or Christie gets the nomination perhaps more conservatives will finally see the GOP for what it is GOP lite.

We just have to make sure the Republicans don’t ‘compromise’ on some radical left USSC nominee

Compromise he77 they recommend like Hatch recommended Buzzy.

BTW I’m all for initiating impeachment proceedings. The hero of benghazi has done far more than Nixon dreamed of doing.
