If the Rethugs take the House can they actually do anything

[doc03]

other than try to start investigations on everything?

1. Sure, they can prevent any topic from being brought to the floor.

[doc03]

3. So we just have total gridlock n/t

[LonePirate]

2. They can use their lapdogs in the press to spin the news to their advantage.

Of course, they can do that now but it will be amplified if they have control of the House.

4. Could they possibly do less than we have in the last two years?

In all fairness, the main problems were in the (lack of) Senate and White House leadership.

5. This Congress passed more legislation than any other since

LBJ, that's what I hear anyway.

7. Quality counts.

Not a single landmark Bill among them. The HCR we got isn't.

[Scuba]

15. You need to learn the facts....

6. They aren't going to take the house

the Dems will fold under their loses but the Republicans aren't going to gain control. The Senate is out of the picture mainly because of Delaware.

8. I heard on a radio news report today that in private

Democratic leaders admit they will lose the House it's just a matter of how bad.

12. I heard on the radio Rush saying that the Repubs will cooperate with the Dems

which means, Rush of course doesn't understand much about politics, that the Repubs see that their rhetoric is scaring off the middle.

9. They are Americans. They certainly wouldn't take over the House

unless they were more than willing to take responsibility for the economy. It will be a great victory for them when they lead us back to Utopia.

10. They could

refuse to fund Obamacare, or anything else.

11. Have no fear. They won't have 60 votes in the Senate.

Nothing can be done.

13. Doing nothing underperforms expectations when you hold the purse.

They won't do much affirmatively but they can cause a lot of problems for the people most at risk if they are willing to risk wearing the black hat.
