“The Republican base is at least 50 degrees further to the right than where it was when Newt Gingrich took control of the House in 1994, so we Communists would be looking at two years of absolutely nothing getting done on Capitol Hill.”

Demoncrats and Rinos be gone.

“....so we would be looking at two years of absolutely nothing getting done on Capitol Hill.”

Oh please, oh please, oh please......
Music to my ears!

Two years of continuing resolutions as the battle royale between Obama and the USA unfolds. It will be Obama vs. America.

[TomServo]

That’d be a great start.

The local, state and fed governments are going to be trimmed down everywhere.

The statehouses make up the next front in the war to retake this country. We need for at least thirty eight of them to become solidly Conservative in addition to the two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress so that the needed Amendments to the Constitution can be voted in. Of course, seeing the efforts of Chris Christie duplicated in every statehouse in the country would be a definite plus.

Pity that it’s us that have to clean up the messes and the Dems get to enjoy the results.

[RipSawyer]

Just not getting anything done is no longer sufficient, we need massive repeals of things like health care and other left wing nutcase legislation.

[Frank_2001]

You’re both correct. Get out and vote in November, drive the Reds out, roll back Obamacare and put AMERICANS back in charge. Melt, Baby, Melt!;)

The interesting thing is that Obama has managed to transform House and Senate elections to the national level versus “local politics” which normally is the case. Voters simply know that a vote for a democrat is a vote for Obama’s policies and programs going forward. This election cycle seems to transcend party affiliation and local politics.

Perhaps we are not screwed.

I predict that on the morning of November 3rd, the GOP will be postured to fill 41 more seats than the Dems in Congress come January 2011. I PREDICT: GOP 238 Seats DEMS 197.

[MissesBush]

I’d take that number up to 49 seats.

[TJ Jackson]

Remember folks, it will be cast as “racist” to try to repeal the silly health care law. How dare the Republicans take away health care from minorities, children and people with disabilities! I can already see the commercials.
