Electing Childers could give the Democrats the 50th Senate seat they need in the fall to preserve their majority. (Biden would cast the deciding vote in case of 50/50 ties, of course.) Thats not a big risk on legislation given that Republicans will control the House but its a huge risk on Supreme Court nominations, if/when Harry Reid ends up nuking the filibuster and allowing confirmation by simple majority vote. If O knows he can get a nominee through with just 51 votes, hell feel safer nominating someone whos further left. Also, the more seats you hand to Democrats now, the better position theyll be in come 2016, when theyre expected to clean up in battleground states. Sean Trende thinks theres even a (small) chance that Democrats will win a filibuster-proof majority. If you sacrifice Mississippi now, youre making that marginally more likely.
We’ve been hearing the same thing for years, but guess what. SCOTUS stamped Obamacare with the seal of approval. Repubican judge voted for it. Repubican judges have helped overturn marriage in state after state, Bush appointments and so forth.
I cannot in good conscience aid and abet someone as sleazy, vicious, disgusting, and demented as Thad Cockring. He deserves to lose, and I think he will lose if this vote isn’t overturned. half of the base in that state is PISSED.
So be it!
Do you really expect the GOP to stand up to Obama in any event?
I have never seen a more despicable and stupid group of political ‘leaders’ than those in the GOP house and senate leadership!
Obama will just have more Republicans to blame for his failures!
If Childers were elected and behaved no better than Cockroach, then Childers will be the very last Demonrat ever elected to the Senate from Dixie. BUT.... Childers is reportedly pro-life, pro-gun and anti-Obozocare which are three more issues than you can trust Cockroach or other GOP-Elites on. You can trust the GOP-E to protect polo as an endangered sport, however, if THAT is what you really care about!
It is long past time for conservatives to file for divorce from Chatsworth Worthington XXXII and the guys and gals down at the US Chambers of Crony Commerce. Muffie and her trust fund can go straight to hell.
