Conservatives could do well in ‘16.. if we don’t have a wimpy moderate forced upon us at the top of the ticket.

It has always bothered me that politicians remain in office till their dying day instead of going out and living under the laws they passed.

But, now, I see that God has been in control all along. He's allowed these people to remain in power so we can be rid of them and replace them en masse.

Hopefully with people more amenable to securing the blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Reid, who turns 75 in a week
And Leaky Leahy turns 74, Mikulski and McLame are 78... Hey, wait a minute! Didn't an "architct" of 0-care, Ezekiel Emanuel brother of Rahmbo the ballerina say We'd be better off if we all croaked at 75?. So why don't these distinguished, learned elitists set an example for the rest of of unsophisticated, ignernt rubes?

Reid seems a likely retirement. Who knows about Boxer. She may be so addicted to taking money for doing nothing, she’ll stick around for another six. Unless she’s challenged in a Democratic primary, she’ll coast to re-election.

Manchin is interesting. If he goes back home to W.Va, I would think the Senate seat would almost surely go Republican.

That would be Senator Boxer to you. After all, she worked hard for it. ;-)

Being a Politician is the same as Retirement

The Democrat Party will continue its massive decline as long as it allows Obama to continue as POTUS!!! Obama is destroying the nation and he is destroying the Democrat Party with it!!! If I were a Democrat....I’s be running down to the White House and demanding that Obama resign immediately...and if not the Democrat Party should move to impeach hi.

Pubbies....do nothing to impeach Obama...let Obama destroy, both himself and the Democrat Party!!! Joe Manchin...dummy that you are...if you had one iota of a brain...you switch to the Republican Party, tomorrow morning. Manchin....DUMMY with a capitol “D”!!!

I remember as a 13-year-old going to Marin County Board of Supervisors meetings with my mother. Boxer was on the Board at the time, and even then I could tell she was pretty much a non-entity. Not so much a radical Leftist or any sort of activist, just...an empty shell.

It has been amazing to watch the Powers That Be elevate her as a mouthpiece over the years. She really had no business on the Board, much less getting elected to the House and Senate, but having a wealthy and well-connected attorney as a husband helped her meet the right people, who apparently saw value in turning her into a feminist icon - but one who always remembered her job was to reward the right special interests.

I’ll vote against McCain if he runs again, but it won’t matter. Only retirement or death will pry him out of that seat.

Now that Republicans control the Senate, McCain wants to stay in to screw things up, and get in their way. He is looking for a new gang.

Boxer would win re-election in California even if she spends zero money AND gets caught in the Senate conference room supply closet with Harry Reid. If she retires any democRAT would easily win even if that person spent zero money and got caught with Harry Reid in a supply closet.

I noticed the same thing at the time. Without Dan White, ChiFi might have been a non-entity as well.

If she retires I guess I’ll have to stop using the term, Dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers.

Judging by things here in CA, she will just be replaced with another Idiot anyway.
