if the GOP won 2/3 of each house - how many Obama policies would they reverse?

At the very least, they'd reverse anything polls were telling them is unpopular.

Your pessimism is revolting and undermines anything conservatives can hope to accomplish.

Yea, that's why just yesterday, Boehner came out and stated it would be much easier to get Amnesty (A.K.A. Comprehensive Immigration Reform) passed with the Republicans in charge of the Senate.

Even though the majority of Republicans and Independents, and therefore, Americans are against it.

The only around here that is revolting are those advocating for the status-quo where the GOP-E leadership is concerned.

No they wouldn’t. Keep in mind that they pushed the crap out of amnesty, which is extremely unpopular. In addition, McConnel has stated that he WILL reinstate the filibuster rules that Reid changed. Finally, Snow (McConnell’s shadow) recently stated that if they take the Senate, they WILL NOT do anything to repeal Obamacare.

They have conceded the power of the purse to the Executive, they have conceded the power of impeachment by not even taking the case to the electorate, they have conceded the power of consent with the NRSC and they are conceding their legislative power almost daily.

The GOP leadership will do NOTHING that they are promising now. They have proven that time and again.

If it makes you feel better to have them in the majority, fine. If you like your candidate on the ballot, fine. Just stop attacking the part of the base that points out the fact that the GOP leadership is filled with scum that pissed all over their conservative base. You can’t blame those that were attacked for not being loyal to the attackers.
