I’m pretty hopeful we will take the Senate back in Nov. Then we get to see how serious the GOP is about restoring the Constitutional Republic. We will still need to get a Republican President with a cogent agenda to lead them.
with the Senate we can block judices and Federal officers, and treaties. We can also pass bills and force Obama to actualy veto bills stating his position as something other than ‘present’.
Yes the Senate is extremely important.
Even having rino’s at the head would give conservatives a major weapon later on. Right now Reid blocks any vote he doesn’t like thus keeping Obama from the easy to identify act of Vetoing.
The so called “Do nothing” Congress Obama has convinced the media and people to be a source of problems would become the Do nothing vetoing president.
LOL! Obama won't have to veto anything. The Democrats will filibuster everything they can, just as the GOP did when they were in the minority.
Yes the Senate is extremely important.
Not really. Not with the leadership the GOP will have.
Right now Reid blocks any vote he doesn’t like thus keeping Obama from the easy to identify act of Vetoing.
And as I said, that's not about to change. Instead of blocking a bill Reid and co. will just filibuster it.

No, it'll still be the 'do nothing' Congress.
Reids uses of the nuclear option has removed the the filibuster from many of the most important bills.
Yes we can send many Conservtive Popular options’s to Obama’s desk and dare him to veto them.
No, it's removed the filibuster from presidential appointments other than Supreme Court justices. Any other bill can be filibustered.
Yes we can send many Conservtive Popular options’s to Obama’s desk and dare him to veto them.
Not without 60 votes. And we won't get that.
