Conservatives in Congress are drawing up their wish list for a Republican Senate, including pure bills, like a full repeal of Obamacare, border security and approval of the Keystone XL pipeline unlikely to win over many Democrats and sure to torment GOP leaders looking to prove they can govern.
Interviews with more than a dozen conservative lawmakers and senior aides found a consensus among the right wing of the Republican Party: If Republicans take the Senate, they want to push an agenda they believe was hamstrung by the Democratic-controlled chamber, even if their bills end up getting vetoed by President Barack Obama.
Their vision could create problems for congressional leaders who want to show they arent just the party of hell no. And while conservatives say they agree with that goal, their early priorities will test how well John Boehner and Mitch McConnell can keep the party united.

But they fold like a cheap suit over Obamas women, gay, black, Hispanic, etc etc lineup of potential judges. Every one of them an activist...never a sober objective person of any color or sexual persuasion.

First step....get rid of Boehner. Otherwise, it's all just theater to keep us constitutional conservatives on the plantation.
Meanwhile, the US Senate might be "be careful what you wish for" for the RINO elitist globalist powerbroker backstabbing sellouts. "Remember Chris McDaniel" is not going away easily. We'll never trust them again.
JMHO

If the GOPe does take control of the Senate, you can bet the Turtle, Juan McCain and Linda Graham will insist on cooperation and reaching across the aisle. I would not doubt they suggest power sharing of committee chairmanships so as to appear bipartisan. As to blocking judicial nominees, forget about it.

Exactly. Which is why whatever happens next Tuesday doesn’t mean a whole lot.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
The RINOs want amnesty.So do Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Put them back in charge and you will get your amnesty. The only thing standing between us and amnesty is the House of Representatives, an organization that is dominated by RINOS.
So what is your point?
To: E. Pluribus Unum
The RINOs want amnesty.
...
The Ruling Class in both parties want amnesty. They want more voters who will tolerate corrupt government.

“GOP leaders looking to prove they can govern” = continue the leftist legislative drift.
“congressional leaders who want to show they arent just the party of ‘hell no’.” = continued open borders and more big government.
The American people are screaming to shut the borders, yet the Gutless Old Party “leaders” don’t want to cross their mass immigration money backers.

How I wish the Republicans would take the video Drudge posted yesterday, buy the rights and spend every penny they have airing it before the election. I might start contributing to them if they would.😊

My point was it wasn't going to make any difference.
You're the one who decided my point was to vote for Democrats.
