Filibuster-Proof Senate

In yet another move from the Smooth-Operator Obama there is talk that Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) is being considered for the Secretary of Commerce job. This would open up a Senate seat that would have to be filled by a pick from Governor John Lynch – a Democrat. Along with Al Franken this of course would seal the deal on a filibuster-proof Senate. The country would then see a Democratic free-for-all. Here it comes – increased welfare state, nanny state, handouts, bailouts, pork-barrel bills
all on the backs of working and middle-class families. And who do we have in Congress to stop this runaway train – nobody.

This would be good for Senator Gregg as he has virtually no hope of being elected to anything in the state of New Hampshire ever again. He is the last Republican holdout. Two congressional seats went to Democrats two years ago and Republican John Sununu lost his seat in the past election to Democrat sweetheart Jeanne Shaheen. This leaves only Judd Gregg who loses credibility among state Republicans almost daily. He was one of the head honchos of the corporate bailout bill which there was little constituency support.

Senator Judd Gregg’s political career is on life support. The only way to keep his political life alive is to be resuscitated by the Obama Administration.
