As Senate GOP leaders look ahead to the lame-duck session, many are cautiously optimistic about their chances of thwarting any big-ticket spending initiatives.

Cautiously optimistic!!!!!!!!!!!

The GOP is about to benefit from the biggest political landslide in American history, because the American people want to stop the Democratic agenda in its tracks, and the GOP leadership is all timid about standing up to the Democrats in a lame duck session?

If the GOP leadership (and every GOP senator) doesn't grow a pair and filibuster the lame duck session, you can be ***** sure the anger directed at the Democrats in this election cycle will be directed at the GOP in the next primaries. GOP, you let this stuff slide through the senate, and you'll own it. Saying we couldn't stop it won't cut it.

The Democrats thought everyone would forget about the health care vote by the time November rolled around. We didn't, and we won't forget about the lame duck session either GOP.

Exactly. The GOP has enough votes to filibuster. Unless it is penny-ante stuff like naming post offices or federal buildings, they should be shutting down everything until the new congress is seated.
