Emperor Zero isn't worried. Just cram through amnesty in December and Shazam, there's 30 million new Democrat voters for 2012. Problem solved.

That which is enacted in December can be rescinded and defunded in January.

I don’t think the Dems will be able to get any of this through the Senate....they won’t get cloture on these issues...

They won’t be able to lameduck us.

When the results of Nov 2010 are clear, a lot of people up in 2012 will tell Nancy to blow off.

And Harry won’t even be there.

No, he can’t.

His agenda will be as dead as Marley’s ghost.

That could spell the end of Democrat support from any but the party’s entitlement-class base.

.... which is a large minority that is rapidly growing. There's some long term thinking going on in the Democratic leadership. Even amnesty won't produce instant votes--it takes a while to attain citizenship. But for Dems, along with welfare, it would be the gift that kept on giving votes for generations.

All of this is mental masturbation until we can not only get the Dems out, but the RINOs too. There is no need for them to “Lame Duck” anything right now. The opposition is weak at best, agreeable at worst.

Look at the trouble they’ve had over the past 1 1/2 years getting anything through Congress. And they’ve been in control all that time. I think this is much ado over little chance...

we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

in most things, the senate does have enough votes to stall everything...except when rino-ism is involved

Will they be like a defeated army in retreat, destroying everything as they withdraw?

Which is what makes me nervous about December.
A couple of months ago I posted the same worries as it seems to me that even the few sensible remaining Democrats are being carried along with this tide of national destruction.

If he signs lame-duck legislation that goes against the will of the people, instead of vetoing it, he will be thumbing his nose at the people whose votes he will one day need.
Why would he change? He feels he doesn't need or care about the voters, especially if he can get most of his backers' agenda in place. He won't veto what he himself supports. The Pubbies have a poor record of rolling back Democratic legislation.

And the Democratic Party should remember the value of principle and honor.
BWAAHAAHAAHAAAA!

They’d better not come home if they do.

Never doubt how dangerous this group can be. They have already wrecked havoc on America and are just getting warmed up. They will do whatever it takes to further their agenda.

Those dems who survived this purge may not be so willing to take the gaspipe for O since they’ll be back for another election in two years.

That’s what I was thinking, maybe the house, but c’mon, the Senate? If they even try that, wow there will be hell to pay.

I think we all know that blanket amnesty via EO decree will happen before the next congress is seated.

Thing is, they will attached it to something he very badly wants and needs. “We have ways of making you cooperate.” The only thing they couldn’t reverse is a treaty, and even then they can decline to provide the funds to carry out its provisions.
