Agreed. Best case scenario is McConnell and Cornyn gone and GOP holding Senate by a narrow majority with a genuine Conservative as Senate Majority Leader.


We want the same thing.

I am just terrified of Obama having control of the senate his last two years. If you think he’s lawless now, imagine how he would be his last two years if he’s got control of the senate. If he’s got control of the senate, there’s not much the house can do to stop him. That terrifies me.

With the senate leadership supporting the liberal agenda, there won’t be much difference.

The leadership has supported obama with their cloture votes, and will continue to support obama if they get a majority.

I’m terrified by members of our own party working with the other side. We need new GOP leadership. If that can’t happen we need to burn the party down and rebuild on the ruins.

He already has control of the senate.

If the Republicans take the senate in 2014 how will it play out on the various issues:

Budget/Debt Limit-
They huff and puff, talk trash and then agree to another continuing resolution and raise limit—again. Conservative lose.

Supreme Court Judges-
If one dies or retires, whomever obama nominates will be approved, MaCain and the rest of the ultra liberals have stated as much, he won he gets his picks. Conservatives lose.

Executive Orders-
He will continue to use them without regard to the House or Senate, as they have two options in dealing with them, defund the agencies involved—which the House could do now or impeach, they will do neither, can’t shut down any part of the government why the world would come to an end! Conservatives lose.

The Republicans will re-institute every half-assed crazy and some correct rules in the senate the democrats have removed and tie their own hands effectively making them a majority party that behaves like a minority party. Conservative lose again.

Obama will demand immigration reform and the Republican controlled Congress will give it too him in spite of the majority of their base and the country not wanting it. Result conservatives lose and finally the Republican Party itself will be firmly regulated to minority status in perpetuity.

I really don’t see a Republican Congress doing anything to stop obama, they are cowards for the most part, scared of being labeled racist, child haters, grandma killers etc... by the state run media(hint you will be anyway you damned fools!)

Unless there is a real change of leadership in the GOP, nothing will change and the result will be the Republicans will be blamed for the further decline in the country thus helping Comrade Hillary. I wish it were not true but aside from Ted Cruz there is no push back whatsoever coming out of the Republican party—none.

Hey GOP how about a real choice for a change!
