“It’s about time the GOP grows a set.”
Unfortunately, they appeal to;
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., and the committee’s top Republican Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Senators should realize that if Obama will threaten one senator, he’ll threaten others.
And probably already has.
Good move by the Repubs.
Nothing will transpire, other than getting this noise in the news cycle.
Creating noise is about all we can hope for from the R’s.
This should make for good entertainment. Methinks this is just window dressing to allow Nelson to bail on bammy while defending his state’s rights. Pretty much guarantees his re-election. Touche pubbies, nice disinformation play. Keep it up.
And the probe should be as in colonoscopy.
At first I thought the RATS would not allow an investigation but now maybe a chance.
THEY’LL HAVE TO BE A PROSTHETIC SET.
The stemcells to grow a real set have atrophe’d.
this is not the GOP, this is the country club protecting their own.
Think of states where there is an elected judge system. If any lawyer runs against a sitting judge, then the other judges help circle the waggons. (unless there is something really indefensible going on with the judge)
I think there is the START of a balance of powers fight. (not the fake claims against GWB) Obama’s WH is essentially the true imperial executive presidency based on the concept of “the incredible wonderfulness of being Obama.”
[seriously they nominated Obama for a nobel peach prize within 11 DAYS of his inaguration?!!! to meet the nomination deadline!?]
0bama plans to become a dictator - pure and simple!
If they do, they should then question whether that Dem senator who had a stroke is really capable of serving. Has anyone seen him lately? If he had to step down (and Byrd has been absent, too!) then the Dems would not have their 60 votes, if the Pubbies stood together.
Of course, this will never happen. Republicans are scared to death of being accused of being “mean”.
if anything they should be pressing hard to recruit Nelson to flip in exchange for an iron-clad guarantee to keep Offutt open. That would be at least one RINO we could agree to live with at this point. If he sees the writing on the wall for the next election cycle he’d take that deal.

Who leaked it is what I'm wondering? In saner times a real threat would be made very privately so no word of it would escape to the press.
A little late. Nelson is saying publicly that he’s never been threatened with the base closure.
Unless this 20 senators becomes this 60 senators, you can ignore anything else that follows.
Obama has no other way to get his proposals through.
I doubt that they will have any teeth to do anything, but the important part is getting the word out what Obama s about.
Let him be vilified and marked by his own actions.
Only 20 Republican Senators? There should be 40 screaming bloody murder!
