One of the problems in November is unless we take the Senate to have the 60 votes necessary we cannot repeal the health care bill. It looks like we will have control of the House, but without the Senate to overrule the sure negative vote of King Obama we cannot repeal. I might be wrong.

The house funds bills. If we take the house we can defund health care without senate approval. Then in 2012 when we kick the muslim out, we can get rid of it completely.

It’s possible we can force some of the more moderate Democrats to break with their party. The Democrats appear to be very good at keeping the various players in line, but I doubt they’re on par with Heaven’s Gate.

What I mean is, will the survivors be able to hold the line after a blowout in November? Maybe not.

You need a two-thirds majority in both houses to override a presidential veto. That just is not going to happen in November. Best we can hope for is simple majorities in both houses in 2010, and their defunding every Obama program until we get the White House back in 2012.
