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:

Updated! What Has President Obama Done? Here Are 253 Accomplishments, with Citations | The PCTC Blog

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

Most of those accomplishments involve illegal use of power beyond Constitutional boundaries. Impeachable, but we'll have to wait until a republican is in office to have the Kenyan arrested.

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.

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)?

I don't know why they are lying. Reid proudly announces he tables all bills from the House. That's no secret.

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."

Democrat congress caused the economy to collapse, not president Bush.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

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

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%.

Boo hoo. You're believing your own Press.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Democrat congress caused the economy to collapse, not president Bush.

Banks playing the Casino Wall Street with ZIRP Fed Money along with Bundled Mortgage Securities which caused the Housing Bubble to burst and then the Economy to collapse.

Not Bush.

Not Obama.

Not ANY Congress.

You can't FIX a problem if you don't know what it is.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

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

An R Congress at least won't subjugate the American people.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

What have the consequences been with a Harry Reid Democrat led Senate?

We have nearly lost our Republic and our Freedoms. We must change course immediately. 2017 may be too late.

No more far leftwing lesbian justices for sure. No more Harry Reid sniveling.

Most of those accomplishments are only so to leftwing twits

The arrest of the president is nothing more than a figment of your imagination and that of wingnuts everywhere. It's never going to happen.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Democrat congress caused the economy to collapse, not president Bush.

And what specifically did they do to make that happen?

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.

They SHOULD be panicking. They are finished for the next few years, thankfully. America has FINALLY awakened to understand that Congress has been stalled for the last 6 years due to one man - and one man ONLY. Harry "Howdy Doody" Reid.

I actually feel sorry for the Nazi left this November. As I have stated before - if you are out and about election night - stay away from high rise buildings. Liberals will be falling from the sky like snow flakes. Don't want any Americans being killed by falling liberals, now do we??

 

[Stephanie]

Here comes the typical fear mongering from the leftie...and it's the same ole same ole

they are going to cut something and they might mess with your abortion and birth control blah blah blah

MY GAWD WE CAN'T CUT BACK ON OUR NANNY GOVERNMENT...how would we survive

 

[kaz]

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."

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

Only if you're not paying attention.

I hear ya man, you're not partisan at all. You arrive at every position through pure intellect and a genuine quest for the truth wherever it may lie. It's just reason.

It just turns out the Democrats are right on every issue. You can't help that, you just recognize the truth of the situation. Gotcha.

The bubble burst before Obama took office. W was arm in arm with spending us into the ground and he did nothing regarding the housing bubble and he initiated the TARP anti-capitalist program. I don't see how you can think that. Granted Obama did nothing but made it worse, but how W is off the hook I cannot imagine.

 

[Stephanie]

When the Democrats can't run on someone's record such as Obama's, since 70% of the people hates it.

they fall back to their next tried and true dirty tactic

smear, lie and fear monger

why people fall for that is astounding and sad. but that's where we are today...I think Obama's campaigns were some the dirtiest I HAVE ever seen. so off we go

 

[Wildman]

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.

it will take a man with more guts, than Reagan to do all the above.
