This would be encouraging if it came from anyone else but Fred Barnes.
McConnell is one of the few GOP senators with balls.
PING!
It sounds like Republicans have been schooled on being a minority by the democrats. Too bad someone didnt school them on how to be a majority.
Reid's a loser no matter which way you look at it.
And the DBM is starting to take notice of that, which means that they will very soon decide that McConnell must be utterly and completely destroyed.
I think Mitch is up to the challenge.
I dont think it is necessairly Reid running rings around Frist or McConnel running rings around Reid, the Senate Rules are such that the minority has tremedous power to stop the majority.....and we should be thankful for that
I was thinking the same thing. Conservative pundits should just Shhhhhhhh . . . and let him do his job. Publicly praising a job well done will put a target on a good man's back.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
I read an article once were the writer theorized that we may see demrule in the House and possibly the Senate but see the GOP hold the White House like the situation we had with Nixon, Reagan, Bush 41, as people don't like concentrated power but prefer the heavier hand of the republicans in dealing with threats. I don't know how true that is but it seems the GOP is better as the minority party in the senate than the majority
Deck chairs, Titanic.
True. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Hopefully Barnes stumbled upon an accurate analysis.
Why do you say that ..??
Frist is no longer there!
Reid has to deal with McConnell now .. and I can already tell he doesn't like it! Yeah!!
Why?
The rules of the Senate make it possible for the minority to block just about anything that they don't like.
Seems as if McConnell might just understand what has conservatives angry.
How refreshing.
Well, Fred doesn't exactly have a very good track record when it comes to predicting the future.
He's more of a Christmas Past kinda guy.
