National GOP, expecting to take over U.S. Senate, has new plans to deal with Obama-created problems

Tea Party Republicans reported to have more ambitious and confrontative agenda on things like Obamacare 

Tea Party says conservatives should be willing to continue to use brinksmanship to push their agenda

According to the latest view of the GOP senate leadership, they will have control of the U.S. Senate following this year’s November elections. Newsmax (with a link to a source in the Wall Street Journal) is reporting the following: “Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, has been holding meetings with members to identify prospective legislation. He said the idea is to focus on measures with a modicum of bipartisan support that President Barack Obama would have "to think long and hard about" before dismissing. Sen. Bob Corker, R., Tenn., urged Republicans not to overreach and squander their majority... ***   A gradual shift to the right may be the best Republicans can hope for given that they probably will not capture 60 seats necessary to prevail over Democratic procedural maneuvering on nearly all legislation....” ( See “GOP, Ready to Control Senate, Has New Strategy for Obama

The new majority will at least be able to offer its vision for major tax reform....”

TEA PARTY-ALLIGNED REPUBLICANS TO BE MORE AMBITIOUS AND ATTEMPT  TO ROLL-BACK OR COMPLETELY CUT-BACK MOST OBAMA INITIATIVES

The Newsmax article by Elliot Jager also highlighted the prospective agenda by Tea Party Republicans, as follows: “Tea party-aligned Republicans argue that a principled agenda should not be sacrificed in the name of shunning brinkmanship. Dan Holler of Heritage Action for America said that if the goal is simply to find areas of bipartisan agreement, "conservatives will be left on the outside." Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., favors pushing a clear-cut conservative agenda, otherwise ‘nothing of substance’ would come of the Republican majority, the Journal reported. ***  Using the ‘reconciliation’ process, Republicans may be able to hold sway over the federal budget with a 51-vote majority. If the House pushes for deep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid or takes a combative stand on the U.S. government borrowing limit, which comes up in mid-March, passing a budget even with Republican control of both chambers could still be daunting. ***  Conservative Republicans will want to see more changes in the Affordable Care Act— beyond repealing the medical device tax— such as redefining what constitutes full-time work to lessen the law's burden on businesses. Holler went further: ‘A Republican-controlled Congress has to reaffirm its position that Obamacare needs to be repealed.’ ...”
