54-46

So we would need 12 'rats voting with the pubs to over-ride odumbo's vetoes, seems impossible..at least we have both Houses, one thing at a time..

Jed Babbin has a great piece in the Spectator today. The GOP has already pissed away the majority.

And they behave like they lost 9 seats.

Obamacare -- which Landrieu supported and has since defended -- was a central issue in this campaign. Now that she's been dispatched, fully half of the 60 Senate Democrats who cast votes for the law in late 2009 will be gone. . . .

They don't, and they did.

Well...well. Now let’s see if the Repubs know how to wield their power. If they don’t...they will become the Whigs of the 21st century. No “power sharing” and no “reaching across the aisle to our friends”. The last two elections say that the American people are fed-up with the commie asshats in government. Don’t mis-read the message, Repubs.

Doesn’t matter. They are complicit with Obama & the Democrats on most issues. They won’t use the power of the purse to cut off funding for obamacare or amnesty. They are about to fund all of Obama’s illegal actions 100% before they even take over next year.

Pathetically tragic but sadly true.

Yes, let’s attack the Republican’s while the Democrats still control the Senate for not doing what they can do after they have the actual majority in January.

They don't need a majority to stop Obama.

That's disingenuous.

Let’s hope the party of ‘NO’ (to Marxism) remains the party of ‘NO’ (to Marxism).

Doesn’t matter at all.

Waste of time.

Mary hasn’t been applying Mooschelles school lunch diet. No wonder the Bamster kept his distance— and Ma Mooch too.

You are a little late to what McConnell said he would do even BEFORE the election:

McConnell wants to hit the ground running in January — thinks Democrats are ready to join him in crafting a more open, functional Senate.

Look, we suffered a coup - and the GOP Ruling Class LIKES this Imperial Fascist Oligarchy being established over us.

If McConnell and Boehner fold to everything the Dems/Obama do, their majority hold may be short lived.

In 2016, the Pubbies will be defending 24 Senate seats, while the Dems defend 10 Senate seats. Half of those Pubbies are of the ‘moderate’ variety who have more friends across the aisle than on their side of the aisle.

You know if Obama really wanted to play hardball he’d have ol dumbass Joe decide to come in and run that place the next two years. The VP is President of the Senate.

If the rinos and gop-e go along, what we have is the ability to control the docket. And basically block legislation/discussion we don’t want, and put up votes on what we do want, and can pass.

In fact, I’m not really seeing a whole lot of rah, rah ,rah go GOP in any of the comments to your thread.

You must be pretty damn disgusted.
