No doubt the dems will be rushing to the polls for more unemployment, more war casualties thanks to the ROE, and higher taxes on the way.
And then there will be health care costs that will drive more businesses out of the US.
Some jolt!
If the Republicans have majorities in the House and the Senate they can repeal all of the laws they want. Unfortunately, Obama will veto any repeal legislation and there won’t be enough votes to over ride a veto.
I anticipate Obama will enjoy using his veto pen and his accomplices int he mainstream media will help him blame the obstructionist Republican Congress for the economy, jobs, and any other issue on the mind of the American people.
The only real power a Republican Congress will have is the power of the purse. If they have the backbone, they can choose not to fund Obama’s programs. However, the Elena Kagan hearings don’t give me much confidence the Republican leadership has the backbone or stomach to fight Obama the way Pelosi and Reid fought George Bush.
The biggest disappointment of the Bush era was George W. Bush’s failure to use his veto pen to control spending. He and the Republican Congress greatly, and unnecessarily increased the national debt, paving the way for the reckless explosion of the debt under Obama. Bush’s failure to control spending resulted in the Republican party losing all credibility for being able to manage the federal budget. This loss of credibility hurts the country today.
Thats stupid. The GOP just needs to grow a pair of balls.
No... The GOP needs to really change their ways! If they don’t get into alignment with the Tea Party folks, they are just as likely to lose as the Democrats! Seems that we have NO party that actually represents the people these days!
Except that the GOP won’t do so. The history of the US is full of political parties coming and going every 20 years so until the Civil War.
That is a natural selection process that needs to occur again.
Did Gibberish indicate why this might be happening?
Love it!!!
I thought that there were 435 seats...and as far as I am concerned they are ALL in play unless the Dems have secretly reworded the Constitution again.
What’s the matter, Gibbsy old chap, the friggin’ COOL AID not so tasty anymore?
