Are you not aware that EVERY Senate Republican Senator voted against the Obamacare act, and that all Obama appointments after January 1 will have to be approved by the appropriate Republican controlled committee before they would even be sent to the floor, if the Republicans win the Senate?
But McConnell has indicated no desire to now repeal obamacare but rather to improve it or replace it with some “more efficient” government medical program. When he talks about allowing “more” competition he is saying he does not intend to get rid of it but rather to construct a government designed and controlled picture of competition that will not permit the market to work. He is the CEO designate of the Republican Division of the Democrat Party. I would prefer Terry Grimes to win his seat. If McC were not the Judas Goat of the Republican Party and only a Senator it would be different, we need the nominal numbers, but he is that Judas Goat and revels in his role. If Harry Reid were to announce that he was changing his party to become a Republican would you then insist that his presence in the Senate is Necessary? And I feel the same way about Boehner. Both men started out years ago as conservatives but found that their lifetime financial security is guaranteed by voting as the Democrats prefer, even should they lose an election.
If the Republicans attain numerical majority in the Senate with McConnell still at the helm the Democrats will continue to control the agenda. It will be worse than if the Democrats retain numerical control.
