We have seen the consequences of a D Senate I don't see a R one being any worse.

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.
Please tell Me you aren't really that stupid......So that means that Harry Reid can not block any more bills from the house from being voted on?
And the far left Obama will be finally shown to be the do nothing president he is?
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.

You of course meant a return to rational governance, right?Fortunately none of the above nonsense and insanity will come to pass; but it does illustrate well the bizarre and warped priorities of Congressional republicans.Those votes include the Paul Ryan budget with its huge cuts to safety-net programs and fundamental changes to Medicare.

The Consequences Of An All-Too-Likely Republican Senate
...
We dont 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 theyre all polling close to or ahead of Democratic opponents.
So you dont need to speculate about what their legislative priorities would look like. Weve seen their votes.

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.

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.
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.

LOL, W ruined the country, Obama then saved it. With the same policies that W had. You're talking at most shades of grey, it's hysterical that to you the same things followed by D and R are good and evil. That, is the textbook definition of "partisan."
ROFLMAO Liberals already panicking.. I LOVE IT
You leftist creeps did this.. NO ONE ELSE.. Americans pretty much despise your entire agenda and with good reason.. IT'S INSANE.

Luddy a little Partisan?.....but he hides it so well.....
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.
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.
