Deficit disaster? Not to worry, it fits in nicely with obama’s plan to cut the US down to size.

You don't need to be Nostradamus to see what is on the horizon.

The GOP will take back the House and may make gains in the Senate. That is the easy part.

The GOP will hold the line because we all know that the GOP conservative streak only shows when they are in the minority.

O and the DemocRats will have 2 years to play the 'blame the GOP' childish blockade that is stopping the work that is desperately needed to 'move the country forward.'

The media will lap it up because that is what lapdogs are all about and the morons out there will in turn throw the GOP out of the House in 2012.

I believe this is a planned disaster; planned by the 0bamaroids as the tool by which to finally destroy the US economy and give them the ‘in’ they need to fully implement their socialist state.

It’s time to take back the country.

Remember when the dems were complaining about the deficit when Bush was President? Now they don’t say a word.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I though you needed 60 in the Senate for a veto proof majority. Since only 1/3 are up for election in 2010, that would not possible.
