If the Republicans win the Senate . .
Aimhigh ^ | 10/24/2014 | aimhigh

If the Republicans gain control of both houses, they will encounter a dangerous environment. When they got control during the Clinton administration, Clinton modified his behavior and signed bills like Welfare Reform. Clinton's popularity results from his shift to the winds.

Obama has no intentions of shifting. Instead he will go further left and further damage the country. He will blame Republicans for all the damage. Unfortunately, Republicans won't respond. So the question arises - how does this translate for 2016?

Let’s not start ‘measuring the drapes’ just yet. We first have to make it happen, and react with quick aggression to all incidents of voter fraud. That is the only way Reps will win, by seizing and grabbing their trophy. I won’t just be given away.

it will be of the GOPe own doing because they fight like little girls...

obozzo’s JA numbers are in the 30’s and dropping...he can blame anyone he wants- his policies are what’s giving the GOPe life in the midterms- not the GOPe’s recent record...

If the Republicans win the Senate the caterwauling by the doom and gloom crowd on FR will be hilarious.

Absolutely, positively, 100% true and accurate understanding of the Judenrat Ruling Class that is the GOP leadership.

If the Republicans do take the Senate we will have to keep our feet in he and Boehner’s rumps to make sure they take proper action. We cannot give them a minutes peace until they start to unwind his agenda.

If the GOP “wins” the senate, it will be due to a public voting against Obama, not because of anyone voting FOR Republican policies, because we have no idea what they stand for besides running interference for Obama and warring on the TEA Party.

I’m not aware of any active investigation into the NSA scandals.

There should be.

They (R’s) have had the House.

All expenditure bills are supposed to originate there.

How’s that been working for slowing spending and debt?

How well did that work out for us after he won the Speakership in 2010???

He pretty much punished any Conservatives daring to ‘hold his feet to the fire’.

That tactic is now a moot point. They will not allow themselves to be held to account by Conservatives.

Someone like the Fake White Indian comes along on the Populist Revenge ticket, wins in a landslide, and the country as we've known it comes to an end.

Boehner: “ObamaCare is the law of the land and will be funded”

I think that is probably a clue as to the answer

Two reasons why the repubs won’t win the Senate - massive vote fraud and they have no agenda besides “reaching across the aisle” = lack of enthusiasm among their base which is pretty small when you remove 60% of TP folks like us.

How about we actually gain control before we start waving the white flags? Chances are, you are correct, but if we just take it as 100% fact, then we may as well just throw in the white towel now and not bother voting at all.

True. What is wrong with the Republicans? Are they just weak men?

I have a feeling they will...by shifting further left to avoid criticism and appear they are working with 0bama on "fixing" the country.

They'll follow the lead of their mentor, Juan McCain, who's the past master at the art of reaching across the aisle.

They will if we go down to the Capitol and confront them. We drove Al Gore out of Cheney's house, we can push Boehner and O'Connell to do the right thing.

What are you smoking? Have you had your face in a mug of beer the last 4 years??

WE DID CONFRONT THEM. Many times. We marched to the Capitol. We confronted them. We melted phone lines to Boehner's and McConnell's offices. We were greeted with contempt, threats, vows of being crushed, betrayed, sabotaged and warred upon by our own supposed party.

If you think you are going to be able to push the Establishment to act on Conservative principles, you are freaking delusional and willfully ignorant of recent facts and history in order to push your insane party loyalty.
