The House folded rather than fight the debt limit battle. They claim there is nothing they can do, because the president won’t budge. It would only lead to another government shutdown. Then it dawned on me. What difference would it make if Republicans also controlled the Senate? If we can’t do anything now because the president refuses to compromise, what good will having the Senate do us? Are we going to continue to hear excuses about how we only control 1/3 (up from 1/2 of 1/3) of the government?
I’m all for taking control of the Senate of course, but I think we should prepare ourselves for what comes next...more disappointment.
More than likely, they would capitulate to the democrat demand that they “reach out” to the minority, meaning bend over yet again.

They would go out and buy bigger knee pads and bend over backwards to “share power” and “work together” to “get things done for the American people” and “avoid gridlock” because “let’s face it, without the WH Obama will veto anything extreme and backed by the tea party”...
There, just wrote Boehner’s talking points for 2015-2016. Where’s my consulting fee John????
If they do again what they’ve done before, they will grow government and hand things back to the Democrats.
“The leadership team-in-waiting in the Senate is secure and very capable. Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, Texas’ John Cornyn, and South Dakota’s John Thune are all smart, principled, experienced and crucially, strategic thinkers.” Hugh Hewitt
So what does leadership look like to Hugh Hewitt you may ask?
“Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, and Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the Republican whip, waited nearly a half-hour as their Republican colleagues refused to vote to end debate on the bill. When it was clear that the debt ceiling increase would fail, they stepped forward in tandem to deliver the deciding votes. Other Republicans followed by changing their votes.” NYT
Mr. Hewitt, standing by as your conference leads the demise of the debt limit only to vote to bring it back to life and then vote against the bill is not leadership in my book. That is just old fashioned politics. You may like that crap, but the rest of us are tired of that being called leadership by you morons.
If the GOP told us, they would not be elected. So silence is the word.
FUBAR, without doubt.

F it up I'm sure..
I’m guessing - raise the debt limit, allow fags and other deviants to become even more “special”, kowtow to minorities, kiss the president’s tuckus, beg the illegal aliens to love them some elephant, take over the reigns of healthcare and find that they really like it, pass them some big-time pork, line their own pockets and those of their big business backers - you know, politics as usual.
