GOP Senate

What will Emperor Ozero do with a Republican Senate?  I can answer that with 2 words: executive order.  He is incapable of working with Republicans so he will try to make them irrelevant.

Rahm Emanuel will be happy. Wasn’t he the person who said (right after Obama’s election) that “the Republicans in congress can sit on their hands” (to slow down Obama’s agenda) “but we won’t let them get away with it.” That’s all paraphrase.

So now does Rahm (AKA Wormtail – see “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”) have the biggest and best excuse of all time? Assuming the congress goes Republican.

I’m not a fan of the Republicans, but I will vote Republican to punish Democrats who support Obama’s healthcare plan.

If the Republicans take over congress, I’ll find ways to get them to listen to me.

One at a time, one at a time.

Now I am hoping and praying for the health of our Supreme Court justices.

Obama must be stopped. And for those in the great wide world who might be wringing their hands at the idea of a Republican congress, stalemate in government, partisanship, paralysis, etc. I say “Desperate times call for desperate measures.”

Let him do it. In fact the more I think about it, the more I think he’d love a Republican congress. He’d love to destroy the Democratic party. He ran on his own brand with his own logos and themes. He never identified himself as a Democrat.

But if he thinks the Republicans are going to take his nonsense like chastened school children, he has another thing coming.

Children the Nursery Quarters are open. Lets display your skills in bashing, belittling, berating and reproaching Obama will take you this time.

Unless Reps take full control, Obama will just work around them, using any trick he can to inflict his will on the country.

FDR couldn’t do whatever he wanted in the midst of a national crisis, and neither can Obama. We are still a nation of laws.

JB if Obama beats the Taliban in Afghanistan, Obama will have the stick to clubber everyone in his path. All your bets are off. Game over. New game.

And for the looks of it, Obama is on his way to beating the Taliban in Afghanistan. So I would suggest to you to abandon your assumption
JB try to live according to what the new day brings you and not what you were given as facts yesterday.

mortus lark so I see all of the anti-war talk was just that – talk.  Many on the left were not just against Iraq but Afghanistan as well. I know. I read the blogs and comments.

Now it’s “hoorah! Obama’s kickin’ ass and takin’ names!”  The same attitude and policy GWB was vilified for. There’s not an anti-war protest of either war in sight.

BTW this country is not a “gang” and I’m aware Obama still has supporters. It’s funny how some of that support has now become pro-war, pro-assassination,  pro-torture, and pro-indefinite detentiion.

Some of that support has become anti-protest as evidenced by the vitriol directed at the Tea Party protests.

As for the GOP some of them are pretty good and others well… I have two Republican Senators. One is very good and at least will listen. The other? I don’t bother to waste my breath.

My Congressman is a Democrat and he does a good job. He’s pro-Obama but not to the point of stupidity. I can live with that.

We need a divided government. I think at the least it may give Obama some time to mature and maybe learn how to lead. A good leader can handle opposition. So if the GOP takes the Senate I think that will be a good thing.

He always was a “party of one”. It always was and always will be about him. Even from the beginning when Oprah rolled him out and declared him “the one”. It amazes me how much people refused to see the obvious about him time and time again.

“What will Ozero do with a Republican senate?”

He’s going to crawl up next to Big Dawg.  It will just eat Ozero’s goat to do it, but he will have to promise the moon (a natural talent) to Clinton in order to get him to negotiate with the Republicans.

I just wonder how this will play out.

candymarl, remember that those pro-war, pro-torture, etc. people don’t really form their own opinions.  They just follow Obama blindly.

See: lark, mortuus

We all held our breath when bush was in with his repubs and they spent money no one knew about and started a war based on lies,torture ,  so we should put these same people in again?  
                        We need to find candidates that really support the people of this nation. not Obama,         BUT definately not more of the same people that started this country in this downward spiral.    remember what the republicans did and they are the ones that wanted to get rid of social security and took care of oil and all their corporate buddies.  Voting  out of spite or anything out of spite usually doesn’t work so well…  Our country is failing and we need to stop the insanity.

  why not work on more positive results and as a people get to work and find these rare candidates that will do something meaningful .   Bush was a disaster ,Obama  a mistake ,but   throwing the baby out with the bath water isn’t so good either.     How about getting someone like Hillary and those that will   work with her .   This country needs to quit voting for someone they want to have a beer with , or someone they think came directly from God ,  but is more like chicago, so we need to vote individually for candidates and support strongly the ones that actually do the right things and  have something other than emotional appeal or Spite.  How can we hope to change a republicans stand once in office?

 Its up to us and most people need to quit  their feel good outlook and look for substance. we are a lazy nation.   We need to get to work now!

I think he will have a meltdown of epic proportions. My prediction: A massive fall, just as bad if not worse than Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky scandal. Obama caught in the back of a limo with the likes of Larry Sinclair, doing drugs and most definitely with his pants down.

I agree but so did the Republicans with bush and they actually stick tight with their party line.

I totally agree with you on the hypocrisy of the “anti-war” left. When I bring up Obama’s war spending and increase in troops in Afghanistan, the same people who STILL bash Bush for his two wars will actually say crap like:

“Obama knows more about this than we do.”

So they are basically OK with Obama continuing Bush’s policies. The cognitive dissonance is absolutely astonishing. 

First let me say that I don’t care for Babs Boxer……BUT, the U.S. Senate only has 17 women. Pathetic.
Why aren’t there more? Career Senators like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry enabled gender inequality in the Senate.  The “uber liberal” State of Massachussets NEVER sent a woman to the Senate, and has sent only FOUR women Reps from 1925 ’til present. WTF?
Biden’s state, Delaware, never elected a woman to Senate or House—EVER.
So, my solution for the future of Senate: more estrogen. How bad could it be?

And as far as Morty the Lark……..I can’t wait until moulting season.

Yes Rosa.  But first things first 1) Stop Obama and those in congress who would do as he says because he has proven enough that he is simply extending Bush’s agenda and doing more damage to the country; 2) make the positive changes you are talking about.

Hopefully the Republicans will take over Congress and then I believe all of America will see just how Obama really is, by that I mean I think Obama is so use to being “adored” that not getting his own way all the time will unleash a TEMPER that will shock America.

But another way of seeing it would be that once Republicans take over Congress, then America will see just how Republicans really are, no? Dosen’t it work both ways?

At Jos E Bank you’re going to like the way you look. But also at Jos E Bank you may not like the way you look.

Does it tingle up your leg like Matthews to say things that are completely wrong just because you fail to understand the meaning and the gist of a my sentences. That what you just said was truly a Chris Matthews.

You mean molting season. I learned something new and exiting about moulting season and I owe it to you Cindy. Thanks.

Ditto on USAPROUD. Obama having to actually work with the opposition will unleash a smarmy, snarky, arrogant, righteous meltdown of epic proportions.

Does it tingle up your leg like Matthews to say things that are completely wrong just because you fail to understand the meaning and the gist of a my sentences. That what you just said was truly a Chris Matthews.

Wrong Sport-O. The public has already seen the bottom of the GOP.  That voters are willing to trust the GOP again just shows how utterly pathetic the Obama brand is, and the even more pathetic leadership of Reid/Pelosi.

Obviously to me you underestimate a man that came from behind to beat everyone else in 2008. Don’t underestimate the man of the hour, on the hour, every hour, of every day.

Ever hear the expression that you don’t get a 2nd chance to make a first impression?

That’s Captain Kumbaya in a nutshell. 2008 is no longer relavent.

Well, Doc, it’s actually quite Whitmanesque!

“I dote on myself, there is that lot of me and all so luscious.”

–Walt Whitman, “Song of Myself”–

Have you ever heard the expression, “heads I win, tails you loose?”

Obama makes a first impression more often than you eat spaghetti.

He just made a first impression today in Vegas and everyone has decided to vote for Harry once again.

Obama lives on the expression: Yesterday is not today.

During his meltdown, Obama will do his best to destroy the country (more than he is doing now) and then claim that the Republicans forced him to destroy the country in order to save it.

candymarl — I always enjoy your posts because you know how to cut right to the heart of the matter.
As for BO and Afghanistan, I seem to recall Bush pere trying to ride to victory in 1992 on the “success” of the first Iraq war. We know how well that worked.

Somebody here called you “m lark”, but I think a more fitting nic would be “malarkey” because that’s what your posts are full of.

I think BO will welcome a Repub. majority because it will give him an iron-clad excuse for not getting anything done. “The Senate ate my homework.” Then he’ll run in 2012 by saying he’s still The One and if he’s just given 4 more years he can alter the tides and save mankind. And there are, sadly, enough fools to take his word for it.

Obama makes a first impression in his fresh mind every day I’m sure. 

That is so funny.  The populace, the same group that wouldn’t know their ass from a door knob, that made themselves feel so good by voting for a black man, think they’ve had enough of this “it’s so nice to have one in the WH”, and are now ready to ship him back to Indonesia.  Idiots.

big dawg just might be working on replacing ole zero after the november elections. why waste his time?

portia, if he doesn’t deliver to the masses he made promises to in the campaign, i don’t think obummer will be back. jmo

I’d truly be surprised to see Bill become an Obamacrap.  I also hope it’s not true that Bill & Co., are planning an assault on the Tea Partiers.  That would be so foolish and so unlike his usual astute political instincts.

I plan on replacing Boxer with another female…good exchange I believe.

And if that doesn’t work, he’ll have his dog BO eat his homework.

Guess it doesn’t feel so noble, self-righteous, sanctimonious or nice to go broke.

I just cringe every time I read reactionary posts to “The Republicans”.  As someone who thought I was a life-long Dem, and then realized what, exactly, that meant, I also realized that there are those who thought they were life-long Repubs who ran away from their party with the same open disgust brought on by Bush and the neo-cons.  To my mind we who are ”former” or “exiled” or “moderate” Dems are much closer in ideology, values and expectations of gov’t to our Repub counterparts — forming this vast middle ground which, I think, is what makes up a true majority of the Tea Party movement.  And I think the reason the Tea Party movement is not well understood and easily open to attack by the left wing of the Democratic Party is because every time we hear the word “conservative”, it sets off Pavlov’s ringing bell in our heads and we hear “Republican.”  But I read this line recently from John McCullough’s “Truman” (a must read as far as I’m concerned).  Secy of Defense, James Forrestal had this to say about his boss: 

McCullough writes: “To another friend he wrote that the American people were fortunate to have in the highest office “a man who, while he reflects the liberal forces both in this country and throughout the world, is nevertheless conservative in the real sense of that word–a conserver of the things we hope to keep.”" (pg 738)

Forrestal is speaking of the highest expression of integrity, honor, truth, justice and good old Missouri-style straight talk and common sense.  This is what I hope we all cherish as “conservative” values.  They have nothing to do with a political party — literally, nothing to do with them.
