53 Senators

"My policies are on the ballot." Pres. Obama.




GOP takes Alaska. Elections have consequences.

Soon to be 54. It's been a hell of a beating already, but it gets worse on December 6th. Better late than never.

Tucson, a city so liberal that they want to secede from the State has a race still too close to call. The Republican is leading by a couple of hundred votes. Of course, the Dems will "find" a box of ballots somewhere if needed. Fun to consider Barber being unseated though.

Finding the box of ballots is a Chicago tradition.
 
They won't and they begged for the chance. So its all on them now and it won't be pretty. You win but 2016 you lose because it will no longer be about Obama. They never created a reason to vote FOR them. I am open to vote for the best candidate but I have no idea what the R stands for anymore.

Listen up

WE DONT WANT TEH FUCKING VOTE OF A FUCKING LUNATIC

Vote DUMZ, they NEED more LOONZ
 
GOP takes Alaska.
It was weird that they didn't have Alaska in the first place.

Like when the Dems had 59 seats and conservatives kept saying "America is a centre-right country"? ;)

Anyway, time for the GOP to step up to the plate then. Let's see if they can pass grownup realpolitik solutions that the President will look bad opposing, instead of reactionary word salad that Reid can grandstandingly filibuster or Obama can grandstandingly veto.

Interresting times.
 
Different colored Party partisan panties...

...same old cheerleader skirts.

YEA! RAH! LEMMINGS!

Or a "Job's Bill" known to be dead before being written as a political stunt? Let's not pretend that both parties didn't just spend 4 years doing just that - trying to make the other side look like the bigger ogre.

MOAR balance fallacy! :)

Too bad kbate cannot abide a penis, because she and toubab seem to be perfectly matched.

If that's her photo in the AV, she's way too young for me. Been there, done that. But she does look good, and she's obviously way smarter than you, Rub.

BigItch has not yet conceded in Alaska. Ballots are still being counted. Then, of course, there will be a recount. And the lawyers will be called. It will be a long drawn out costly mess, but hopefully, Mark can go back to managing his mommy's apartments in east Anchorage.

DUMZ never concede:rolleyes:
 
Obama

Obama will continue to move the country to the left through Federal agencies.He doesn't need the congress, the "Alphabet soup" of federal agencies, FHA,NLRA,SEC,TVA,CIA,NSA,IRS,GAO,DEA,EEOC,FCC,FERC, etc., so many,even the government can't say how many ther are. Each can be steered by the POTUS to do his will without any congressional input. Already in his last 6 years,Obama has imposed thousands of new regulations on the American people.

Reid won't be there to say "No, I won't take up this legislation". So we won't ever know the answer to your question.

I understand that you'd like to pass the buck... But the republicans only spent their time and efforts trying to repeal ACA... it didn't work, but that didn't stop them. Let's see what they do now... I'm guessing more of nothing.

I understand that you will never say anything bad about a democrat and will always blame republicans for everything not good.

Reid/Obama: Foot in America = Citizen.
Republican: Go back to mexico.

Somewhere between, there has to be a compromise and neither side even tried to look for it.

The 2013 immigration bill passed the Senate 68-32. It got 14 Republican votes. If you get much more bipartisan than that in this day and age, you're in "let's name a post office after a Medal of Honor winner" territory.

The only reason that bill isn't a law right now is that had it come up for a vote in the House, it would have passed with overwhelming Democratic support and a few dozen Republicans -- and Boehner wasn't going to allow that to happen.

Assuming history (1995-2007) repeats itself, what you will see now is not an attempt at compromise, but the most conservative legislation that can still get a majority on the Republican side. Which Obama will assuredly veto. And once again, nothing will get done.

Except that I criticize democrats all the time. Care to try again?

kbate loves to position herself above the fray, from there she can claim teh moral high ground and denigrate both sides with her smug bitchy metacommentary.

Do a search for "bitchy" under my username, I typically point it out when bert and/or kbate get on their collective high horses. Tis one of the many services I provide to this board.
