Associated Press: REPUBLICANS MULL STRATEGY IF THEY CONTROL CONGRESS
Excerpt...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican control of the House and Senate seems tantalizingly close, so leading Republicans are turning to a matter often overlooked in campaigns: how to actually govern.

They say it will be crucial to show the GOP can legislate, lead and solve problems after years of lobbing political grenades at President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats.

If they add Senate control to their House dominance, Republicans say they will pass some bills that Obama is sure to veto, as they try to highlight their ideological differences with Democrats. But they also will push for changes in taxes, trade, regulations and other policies that both parties might accept.

"We have to prove in two years the Republican Congress can govern," said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.

Republicans know their new majority might last only two years - assuming, that is, they first obtain it this fall by picking up at least six net seats, as many predict they will. The 2016 Senate election map is far more favorable to Democrats. The contest to replace the term-limited president will add further distractions and uncertainty.

...given the skill - and I use that term loosely - the Elephant Party has used in running the House into the ground over the past 4 years, God only knows what kind of ---- they'd try w/both houses under their thumb...let's hope President Obama has both his executive action and veto pens out 'cause I suspect he's probably going to need both of them...:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy:
 
What I would like to see is congress daily sending the repeal of obama care. And as he veto's it every time Americans see even more clearly who this murdering communist is as people suffer and die because of it.

Or they may see the Republicans for who they are and reward Democrats for it in 2016.

Well the very worst parts of obama care will start kicking in before then. Yes I know how can it get any worse? But yes it can and will.

Nothing is ever complete in society on either side. By 2016 obama cares disapproval will just keep on growing. If we even get a moderate republican in office it will be gone.
