The Left is sustained by the Government on every level, whether they are in elected seats of power or not. This "life support system" extends to academia, the non-profit and NGO world, and of course, Big Media. No matter who's elected, these are the people who implement (or stall, or pervert, or promote) the policies to fit their ideology. Thus, it really does not matter if today's Republicans take "control" of anything. Many of them actually run their offices with hardened bureaucrats who are firmly entrenched in the DC Leftist culture. In fact, I have met many of these very powerful, very shadowy staff people whose parents and grandparents came to town with FDR in the 1930s! It is they who control Congress and it is they who write the bills voted upon by our representatives, who NEVER actually read them.

In regard to this oversold "Republican Takeover" in 2010: it's bullshiite.
Where's the Program?
Where's the Plan?
Where's the Leader?

Instead of congratulating each other on merly recognizing this disaster, we (who are in truth about 25% of the electorate) would be better off in holding "Republican" feet to the fire to reverse The Obama Program, Plan, and Leadership before it begins the end of this Republic.

Bump that to the sky! The Repubs must commit to repeal the so-called health care reform and finance reform in their entirety. But also they must take it a step further and offer their own health care reform and finance reform. And that ain't all.

I will probably be immolated for suggesting that our republic, as we know it, is in an irrevocable , steady, and rapid decline. The Liberals have won (donning asbestos underwear). Unless the right is willing to commit time, talent and treasure to genuinely reversing the progress of the statists, the Repubs will always be fighting a rear-guard and retreating fight. Forbid!

There will have to be at least one constitutional amendment that must pass- hopefully, more than one. As to which ones and what priority given, I will leave that for another discussion. But here are a few suggestions in no special order:

Reverse the income tax to a sales tax.
Clarify the position on anchor babies.
Clarify the commerce clause
Reiterate the 2nd amendment
Balance budget amendment, with teeth
Others?

The idea is to LIMIT the federal government.
