Republicans Republicans chances of winning Senate majority continue to brighten

No I hold him incompetent for his performance...same as I hold W incompetent for his. I also disagree with many of the president's positions but do hold him incompetent for having them...just wrong. It is coincidence that has us holding similar positions BUT when opposing sides do compromise can be reached when competently pursued. That is what Reagan & Tip did as well as Clinton & Newt and W and Teddy Kennedy. Obama AND the Rs have failed in the competence of performance measure!

Yes at this time but it has happened before and can again...note RR and the unions...previous time where R received high % of both black & brown vote.

They are American core beliefs but the path to obtaining them is from a conservative private enterprise perspective not the big government nanny state path.

Absolutely correct Red just what I said. What we may disagree on is whether or not this is a permanent state of affairs. Like the Ds of the 80's the republican party is in the thrall of radicals and until that thrall is broken there is no chance for the Rs. However that won't last or a new coalition of conservatives will create a new party that is broad based enough to win as it was for the whole post war period from 1952-2008.

 

Here's some of your doubt I mentioned in another thread. Don't lie muther fucker.

 

Republicans are going to win and set us back another hundred years. At least they taught everyone how to frivolously use the filibuster. Let's hope those senate democrats were taking notes.

 

Republicans will likely win the Senate. This will not change anything except the bull shit legislation that comes out of the house will actually make it to the Senate floor for a vote before Obama vetoes it and then they will try to override his vetoes but that requires a 2/3 majority vote and the R's will not have the votes so it will go nowhere.

I agree with Red that the Republicans will do themselves no favors and will likely dumb ass their way into making it even easier on the Democratic nominee in 2016. I agree that this will likely be Hillary and she will win easily. There will also be 23 Republican Senate seats up in 2016 compared to 10 democratic seats and that number could become 25 if McCain decides not to run (he will be 83) and if Grassley-IA (he will be 80) does the same. The numbers are almost identical in the House with only 10 D seats up and 24 R seats up.

 

There are 90 federal judges to be appointed before big O leaves office. Republicans will have ability stop any who are too liberal, which is huge in the course of the future of our Country.

 

Its funny how when Obama doesn't like something, it is ok for he and his party to kill bills, but when the republicans do it, its some big ass issue.

 

and you think they haven't been doing this already? what do you think Reid invoking the "nuclear option" was all about last year? it was because they wouldn't approve any of his judicial appointments. R's taking the Senate will not change anything. Now, I HOPE that they get a sense of direction and start passing some common sense legislation on infrastructure, tax reform, etc. that would benefit the whole country and also boost the economy.

 

I know he's appointed 280 of them. That's enough.
