By 2014, Romney will be blamed for the horrible economy and the MSM will make sure its a Democrat year
If we do not win the Senate, it will be a message that we need to prepare to run independent and third party conservative candidates.
As far as I can see, at this point Akin is merely running as a Republican to help the GOP and Michelle Bachmann too. They're gaining nothing from the party but if they win the party gains that seat. If Akin and Bachmann win they should pull a John McCain and his group of 7 or whatever it was called and spend their entire term threatening to change from Republican to Independent or join the Constitution Party if things do not go as they want.
Therefore, all that is necessary for the repeal of PPACA is 50 votes + Vice President Ryan. In a budget reconciliation, we insert an Amendment which says, the "PPACA of 2010 is hereby repealed."
And that's it.
We have 2 years to improve economy. Stop trillion $ deficit, stop 0care, start drilling for energy here, build pipeline, eliminate rules concocted last 4 years, stop supporting worthless green energy, stop propping up housing values and let market stabilize, and the economy will be a long way toward recovery.
Reagan was able to turn the Carter mess around so it can be done.
That will NEVER happen for the reasons GeronL has given and other reasons.
I am not sure the GOP has it in them to undo all this crap. They had chances before and didn’t.
There was no ObamaCare to keep Reagan's economy from booming.
I think if Akin wins, he should immediately move to being an independent.
Chill, for 3 reasons.
1. We would be filibustered as long as we have fewer than 60 votes. Juan McCain will see to that the nuclear option won’t exist.
2. Obama has shown Romney that the President’s will can be rammed through executive orders and selective enforcement. One good thing about Romney is that if he wants something done, he has no hesitation to use the tools in his shed.
3. To my understanding, the Senate still has to approve the spending. It’s not like the Democrat financing agenda is the default. So no matter what, whatever we get our taxpayer money spent on is still going to be held to whichever party has the most willpower in a non-supermajority Senate.
By rights he should. But I don't think I'd want to see that happen if it means Harry Reid becomes the majority leader. But I would like to see him spending his whole term threatening them to do it (that may be enough).
There is no 0care yet. It can be stopped and Romney said he would do it.
To framework is in place but still must be implemented by HHS Secretary.
I think Akin will win.
If I were in MO, I would lie to everyone and say I’d reluctantly vote for Macskill or not vote, but then vote Akin at the voting booth. With Romney winning MO by double digits, I doubt I’m the only one
The framework...
But having Romney put one or two new conservatives on the Supreme Court is the way to get rid of ZeroCare.
If the Senate remains in Dem hands after the election it is probable that Reid will block all nominations to the court. But, if there are vacancies on the court then the math changes and we might be able to kill ZeroCare with the same votes against it we had last time around. If a couple of Dem justices are gone then we could squeak by even in the face of Justice Robert's idiocy.
The best argument to take to the court is the fact that if the ZeroCare penalties are a tax then the bill originated in the wrong chamber.
What a disappointment this weak fool turned out to be :-(
Secretary goes on 4 year fishing trip so no more rules are written.....I’ll pay half if I can go.
“There are always enough RINOs to give the Dems a majority on certain votes”
While that is currently true, should we take back the Senate, there will be more TEA Party types on the R side. We’re culling the herd, so to speak. ;o)
That being said, if Romney wins, he will have coattails.
Don’t discount Akin and Mourdock just yet.
One more thing, should we not retake the Senate, but win the White House, there will be dems in red states who will be put on notice. I have a feeling some will cooperate if, for no other reason, than to keep their jobs in their next election.
Real Clear Politics Senate Map, current Projections, Battle for the Senate.
We need 50 at least with Ryan the tie-breaker. 51 would be fantastic, and anything higher would be a landslide. Let's make it happen folks!
we can hope.
Amen to that. Obamacare will destroy free market capitalism in America. Isn't that what Obama wants? Fight for your Senator folks. No Republicahn Senate, no Repeal of Obamacare! As important as the WH!
