People around here have been drinking from the moron fountain.
I guess they want to see Harry Reid running the Senate for the next 2 years, moving forward all the judges Obama nominates.
But they can beat their chests about what pure conservatives they are.
Meanwhile the Democrats will have real power.
Regarding judicial nominations, Reid used the nuclear option that Republicans were cowered by Democrats to not do, in order to eliminate the confirmation filibuster. McConnell has vowed to restore the filibuster, just in time for Reid to use it in the minority. How does that help Republicans?
McConnell has been reported to believe that it is better for the GOPe to let a Democrat in a red state have a seat that can be retaken next time, instead of letting a Tea Party conservative who can't be controlled by McConnell to have it.
If McConnell thinks that it's better to let a Democrat have a seat that can be retaken, then maybe we should let the Democrat have McConnell's seat, since we can retake it safely in Kentucky next time? It's McConnell's own strategy, after all.

The democrats already have real power because the GOP refuses
to exercise the power they already have.
“Meanwhile the Democrats will have real power.”
Yes, Cochran has all the power
boner has done jack with the power he’s had. he’s got the damn purse strings and he’s caved b/c he can’t figure out how to deal with alinsky-style pressure. he won’t use the same tactics where dems are vulnerable, or get others to do their own attacks. no strategies. he thinks the biggest problem is the damn tea party folks.
keeping the same leadership is just as assinine. they aren’t gonna do what we want if they get more power. they want to crush us. they’ve friggin said so. cantor and thad adopted alinsky smear tactics against tea party challengers. we aren’t gonna reward these people with more power. you apologists would just say stop picking on fellow repubs, it’s not helpful.
forget that.
