The last time that we had a situation like you describe was in the thirties when the New Deal was at its peak. The significant difference, of course, that the southern block of Democrats were almost all conservatives and they were able to block or damper some of the most outrageous progressive ideas.

If the Republican caucus were to shrink to less than 30 members, then they would have no influence on the floor and almost none at the committee level where seats are assigned in proportion to the size of the caucus. The political strength of any group is measured by the number of votes that they control. If you don’t have the votes, your voting block is impotent.

They're in a "group huddle", trying to come up with some (or maybe JUST ONE) facts so they don't look like they're totally "grade-school" level, and flunked "DEBATE CLASS" .

These young whipper-snapper must not have to work much.
They really don't know HOW to debate, do they?
Have a good night.
Other tasks are calling me.

FU assclown!
You don’t own this place or make the rules any more than I do. Just because your brilliant game plan is to sit on your fat ass until the GOPe comes around don’t get pissed when someone calls you the fool that you are.

This article was written the day after the election without the final tallies and only shows that fewer whites vote in 2012. Is it your assertion that because the issing voters are white they had to be conservative? If so how did Romney (60, 933,500), receive almost a million more final votes than McCain (59,948,323), did?

It couldn’t possibly be that they were disenchanted Obama voters? 2008 (69,498,516) to 2012 (65,915,796).

It appears that Rove and the GOPe will reap the whirlwind they have sown.

Nobody is talking about a caucus of less than 30 members.

Obviously my “barking dog” rhetoric was dead-on. Explain to us the good conservative logic in re-electing nobama by you and your cohorts sitting out the 2012 vote.

Nothing yet besides running a crappy campaign. He hasn’t had the chance to screw us over yet, but considering the cabal backing him, it’s very likely only a matter of time before he does.
