Consequences of R senate

Unless they can override a veto, the Do Nothing Congress will continue. So be it...

 

[Kosh]

that's been explained already, pay attention .. the majority of those bills are in committee. Do you have ANY idea what that means ? No, of course you don't.

Next.

Yes I am familiar with spammed far left talking points/propaganda all over these boards.

The question do you understand what it means (other than what your far left programming tells you)?

so you don't know what a bill being in a committee and at the mercy of the committee Chair is ALL about ... obviously.

More and more the far left show that they do not know anything beyond their programmed propaganda.

The question is: Do you understand what it means (other than what your far left programming tells you)?

The Consequences Of An All-Too-Likely Republican Senate

...

We don’t need to jump to any big conclusions to say what a Republican Senate would do. We just need to look to the other side of the Capitol, where Republican control of the House provides a model.

Any hypothetical GOP Senate majority would include multiple current GOP House members. Rep. Steve Daines is running for a Democratic Senate seat in Montana, as are Reps. Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia, Tom Cotton in Arkansas, Bill Cassidy in Louisiana, and Cory Gardner in Colorado. These represent five of the six pickups the Republicans need to win the majority, and they’re all polling close to or ahead of Democratic opponents.

So you don’t need to speculate about what their legislative priorities would look like. We’ve seen their votes.

Those votes include the Paul Ryan budget with its huge cuts to safety-net programs and fundamental changes to Medicare. It includes a bevy of limits on access to abortion and birth control, harsh and punitive measures aimed at immigrants and lower-income people who get public assistance, and repeated attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. And it includes a whole lot of ideological grandstanding, including, most recently, the attempt to sue the President. Thanks to the need to negotiate with a Democratic Senate, the House Republicans’ worst impulses are constrained, at the moment.

A case study for what bigger Republican legislative majorities are likely to do comes out of North Carolina, where Thom Tillis, the Speaker of the state House, is in a very close race against Sen. Kay Hagan. There, unified Republican control resulted in policies that massively redistribute power from poorer to richer, including unemployment insurance cuts, restrictions on voting rights, and a shift in the tax burden from income to sales taxes. Other Republican state legislatures, including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Kansas, have used the power they emerged with after 2010 to pursue ideological pet projects.

Needless to say, if you hate your country and if you are very wealthy, you should definitely vote Republican. If you are an Obama-hating Pootarian, vote Republican.

But if you are in favor of the incredible things President Obama has accomplished, in spite of the Do Nothings on the right, stay away from the damn Republicans.

In case you're not sure, contrast the record of the R votes to Obama's record:

Just remember, they said they wanted to bring this country down and there is no reason to think they have changed that goal.

There is only one good thing I can think of that Obama did, and he did that wrong!

Everyone should be able to afford health insurance, key word, afford. They should not be forced to buy insurance if they don't want it. Anyone with a job should be able to purchase health insurance at a reasonable rate.

How about if we take free medical care away from criminals and actually take that money to supplement the working people who are contributing to society, instead of trying to destroy it, and if criminals die in jail, then they shouldn't have been there to begin with. I don't care why they are there, they know the rules, follow them or shut the hell up.

Fair enough, I was wrong. The best thing they can do for us is undo all the crap they've already done.

since Obama has only used veto power 2 times, Congress remains true to form .... doing nothing.

More specifically, reid is the one doing nothing but kissing obamashitforbrains arse.

So, if Obama vetoes, will he be considered a do nothing president?

All the pulling of hair and the gnashing of teeth about how, My Faction is better that your Faction, and the brilliant retorts of, OH YEAH, well my Faction has it all over yours because....

The table was set by OUR collective subjective selections of sides over the years. Now that the oligarchy has EVERYONE by the gonads, the whole Nation is screaming, BUT AT THE WRONG TARGETS, FOOLISH PEOPLE!

The enemy is of OUR own making. WE collectively allowed THE REAL POWER to shift from WE the PEOPLE into the hands of the few behind the curtain. Now WE are all owned by that oligarchy! And the bickering beat goes on!

[FJO]

the new Tea Party senators will have the same effect on Reid as the moron did who ran against him in Nevada .... NONE.

Other than he will no longer lead the place and will be in a back seat,but details like that don't mean much to people like yourself.
Reid is not up for election,but he will lose his leadership position.

He may end up being Minority Leader. I wouldn't be surprised if he decides against running for reelection in 2016 if the Democrats lose the Senate this year. That gives a wide open door for Governor Sandoval to run for the seat.

When the Democrats lose the Senate in November this sorry piece of human garbage, known as obstructionist Harry Reid, will be a leader of nothing and nobody.

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

I can only hope that we will have a Republican House and Senate next January.. Followed by a Conservative President.

A President who will rescind most of Obama's EOs, a President who will deport illegals, a President who will protect our borders, a President who will actually Govern by the Constitution as it is written, not as they wish it were.

Since you don't name names that's a real good clue the GOP has no one qualified.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I agree.

No matter what else happens, the Republicans will not change.

They will continue to obstruct any action that could be of benefit to America and Americans - except of course, their beloved 1%.

a piece of molded cheese could have beat Reid and kept him out of the Senate ... and then the Right elected a Tea Party dope and ran against him ... naturally, Reid won.

TFF.

When it comes to the consequences of a Senate that has the majority being of the same party as the president, the appointments to the Supreme Court are the most crucial.

One can only hope that none of the current justices are going to die or decides to retire in the next two months.

After November it won't matter.
