Let’s go for 100. There are at least that many incumbents that should be fired in this Worst Congress Ever.
Tom Price is a good man. Pete Sessions, on the other hand, is an idiot.
But Steele said a few months ago that we can’t win.
yeah... but are there enough senate seats up for grabs to get the senate too?
If anyone can screw a good thing up, its senate pubbies!! Watch out for Grahamesty, Lugar, the Maine looney ladies, etc. to screw this up!
Doesn’t mean squat unless they have an established agenda for specific changes and enough votes in the Senate. Newt gave us the Contract for America. I sat glued to CSPAN watching the House vote in the changes on property rights protections. Then the legislation simply died in the Senate. With Obama in the White House, they will also need enough votes to over-ride a veto. The best they can probably do until 2012 is neuter the progressive’s agenda in Congress, although Obama will push the envelope on implementing his plans through the federal agencies.
You don’t have 56 seats. Wishful thinking.
You may get 40 but 56 is daydreaming. Hope you do and hope they are real R’s.
The Democrats deserve to lose 150 seats. only the hard-core govt dependocrats should be even thinking of supporting them.
But we need to not just stop at Congress. In races for Statehouse, Governors, Mayors ... dogcatchers ...
Anyone with a “D” needs to be radioactive and swept from office.
This will take time, effort and money. Save America - Defeat All Democrats.
I sure hope Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-#1) goes down in flames. What a disaster she’s been.
Expect anything; and be prepared for it. Count on Repub Victory; but keep the rhetoric 'down'. . .in this case; think saying nothing is more powerful.
As always, winning isn’t enough. We need more than “Throw the bums out!” as a scheme.
We need to put alternatives in place that take care of the concerns of the public, but do not lead us down the path of governmental control.
There must be a vision to follow.
Our choice: Do we avoid pain? or do we approach pleasure?
In politics, running from pain will only lead us to more pain. We must have the pleasure of a workable policy, written down for the people to see, i sufficient time for them to debate it for real, instead of the vague discussion of the penumbras eminating from “The One’s” Head.
Seems to be inline with Nate Silver’s (Dem) predictions at FiveThirtyEight.com. He’s predicting that Dems could lose 50+ seats in the House, maybe even as many as 79!

Provided:
a) they stay RINO and run as me-too, polite Moderates; and b) take the attitude such as in this article that they are going to "predict" (sic) a "gain" (sic) of "56" (sic) seats. This is all up to GOD, and comes down to our resolve and humbleness, and also hours and hours of shoe leather being worn out by troops on the ground, many of them by average people NEVER BEFORE involved in precinct politics before, coming in from the masses of the Tea Party and under a drafted Compact by the NEW Republican Party that commits it to killing once and for all "Compasssionate Conservatism", and returning to Ronald Reagan and TRUE CONSERVATISM.
Seven months is a long, long way way, and the Democrats are going to CREAM US at the POLLS if these warnings are not heeded and this self-assured, arrogant, boastful, pride-filled, overassured smug talk continues. We had better run like we are in for a whipping by Obama even worse than he gave us in 2008.
It all depends on the laziness of the obamatrons. This next election, there should be fewer of these losers voting, so there is a chance to take a good many seats, but again, pie in the sky for 40-60 seats.
From his lips to God’s ears.
It’s much better to yell about gaining 100 seats than to whisper about “maybe gaining 25 - if that’s okay with you mister media.”
