.....The Libs are in control of the Senate......
The Rats have a majority but like the Republicans with a majority, do not have control. Harry Reid has been blocked over and over and over.
When McCain is elected, he will control the Sente through his buddies Liberman and Grahm. This triumverate will forge a majority that will prevail. It will be neither purist Republican nor Democrat but will craft legislation thet will pass. The house will be paralyzed nd forced to go along.
The Gang of 10 is the writing on the wall.
Please note I said the "Libs" are in control of the Senate. I did not say that the DemocRats were in control of the Senate. There are plenty of Liberal Republicans to go around in the Senate who are more than willing to grant any request made by the majority. Republican members of the Gang of 14 and the Gang of 10 are two prime examples, but there are many, many others.
Simply by virtue of having an "R" after their name does not make them a Conservative, nor does it require Republicans to follow the Conservative principles that gained them election to their positions in the first place. The two are not one in the same.
This is clearly evident with a variety of "decisions" that have come down from the Senate and Congress in general over the past 7-8 years. The Republicans were completely content to double the size of the Federal Gubmint, along with Federal spending, and create an entirely new entitlement boondoggle, i.e. prescription drug give-a-way, and a new gubmint agency, the Department of Homeland (in)Security, while they held their slight majority in the Senate. They didn't have to do this. All this spending and growing of the Federal Gubmint came while Medicare and Social (in)Security are going full steam ahead towards bankruptcy in the not too distant future and yet they do absolutely nothing.
It's come to the point now where party politics are no more than fodder for the masses. We have, in effect, a duopoly. It's quite apparent that you've bought into this nonsense. Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. When the she-ite hits the fan, they protect each other like they were brothers. Party affiliation be damned.
With few exceptions, Congress has become a disgusting mess.....just like Liberalism wherever it's found.....
