GOP Senate Victory Is Key

From Dick Morris.com (May 27):

Why, some Republicans are asking, should the GOP focus on winning the Senate this year? What will it achieve as long as Barack Obama is still president? We won't get 67 votes to override his vetoes, or even 60 votes to overcome filibusters. Why bother?

There are a number of strong reasons why winning the Senate is worth working for.

• If Republicans control the Senate, they can block the confirmation of judges who will allow Obama's power overreach.
• The president does not have a line-item veto, so control of both Houses could empower Republicans to put in budget lines that restrict Obama's favorite programs.
• Republicans would also be able to stop obnoxious treaties from being ratified.

The key here is that the republicans have to be conservative. They can back down on any of those points. It would be nice if they could repeal the Unaffordable No-Care Act aka Obamacare instead of just weakening it, but I’ll take what I can get. But that would require a president, preferably a conservative republican president, that wouldn’t veto the repeal.

The obnoxious treaties Dick Morris is talking about are Arms Trade Treaty and the Law of the Sea treaty which both restrict America’s liberty.
