I have no faith in what the Speaker of the house plans on doing since he has allowed the dictator to get away with smashing our Constitution to the point it’s ineffective.

We are living in a dictatorship now and it won’t take much more to keep us there for good.

The only thing obama needs now is the ability to imprison all of those who don’t agree with him.

I think you are being a little over the top. You are not living in a dictatorship and, to be frank, what was the GOP to do when they did not control the executive and the senate for the last 4 years.

I think conservatives have taken a good step with more getting elected and taking over the senate. Let’s watch what plays out in January when the new congress take hold.

Nah. Come the new Congress. That will be the chance.

With Harry protecting 0bama, the politics didn’t work for us. Now, they will. 0bama will have to veto things. He didn’t have to before.

First, the new Congress will give him bills passed w/ significant bipartisan support. Keystone, mandate in 0bamacare, and a few others. Then we’ll give him individual spending bills to fund popular parts of government - DoD, National parks, etc - these bills will have no defunding mechanism and he will not be able to veto them without accepting the consequences of a shutdown. He is weak and impotent now and these bills could get veto proof votes. 0bama won’t risk being overridden.

THEN the bills start coming w/ defund components, no travel, etc.

0bama is thru if the Rs get individual funding bills. I don’t know how he can stop it though. Maybe amnesty, gitmo releases, and ferguson foment are part of a plan to make Rs overreact and return some political power to him... and I’m sure there will be more crap coming.

“The only thing obama needs now is the ability to imprison all of those who don’t agree with him.”

He’d just love that. All Progressives would.

But he doesn’t need it. Not when there is a media that extols the brilliance of Mr. Biden and then denigrates, smears, degrades and impugns people like Sarah Palin or George Bush.

It’s time for Republicans to treat Progressives the way Progressives have treated non-Progressives.

IMHO
