that they would begin by using the budget to takeover the government, because the budget’s the only thing that you can’t filibuster. It takes a majority vote. Since they were going to put an amendment on every single budget of every department to get rid of anything that had been done since President Obama had been in office or before they didn’t like, and if he vetoed they would simply shut the government down over and over and over again.

The government was designed to work that way!
Anything can be twisted to sound nefarious.

So to date you embrace harry reid suffocating both republican and democrat proposals?
The government could not destroy the economy more than Harry Reid and Obama already did.
Now we have a man of demonstrated ethical confoundment paraphrasing and interpreting the words of a political opponent.

Place your trust in those who told you, we have to pass it to find out what is in it!!!

Bill, whitewater Clinton and the blue dress dance band told you so, it must be. Just like harry reid and his spurious comments about mitt romney not paying taxes..... ethics to live by and stand up to support

And you thought our government was dysfunctional before?



Buckle up!
Dysfunction is what we have had under Pelosi/Reid/Obama.

Sounds like sanity to me. Also sounds like democrat panic

Anyone who believes that Republicans will suddenly start to pass substantive legislation if they win a majority in the Senate is completely delusional.

...meanwhile, the "do-nothing" senate of Harry Reid has been great?

All you have to do is look when the person joined CD (campaign season), look at all of their postings to see if any have been made in any other forums on CD (probably not), and then watch them disappear after Election Day. Sometimes they even say they are posting from the DC area. The latter, however, I believe are lobbyists so check their past postings to see if they are one issue posters. They will also be the ones urging you to write or call your Congressman.

The Obama illusion worked for about 4 years but many people have finally woke up to who he really is.

What's sad is the people who continue to support this fraud and lies.

A point- The current GOP plan,here in NC, lower taxes on the top and corporations. Creating a need by counties to raise Real Estate taxes.

Under GOP control that is what happened. For those home owners who are on a fixed income, beware of the GOP.

On the plus side, what will make it rough ride for the next two years in Congress will make it smooth sailing for the Dems in 2016. Am looking forward to it.

Let the prosecutions begin!

There's...well let's see..Benghazi, IRS, CDC...

But start with the use of taxpayer money for partisan purposes by the 'Not for Profits'. Claw back the money those organizations have paid to the recipients and prosecute the recipients.

Yes, it should be very interesting. Since gerrymandering has allowed many of the members of Congress to be elected, they will find mainstream America is not in the least interested in wasting time and money on chasing windmills and witches. Then when the country turns against them, as it did when the congressional GOP shut down the government, they will be shocked--I tell you--shocked.
