I don’t know the ins and outs of defunding anything when you control one house. Supposedly Congress can just not give funding for Obamacare. But what if Obama vetoes spending bills? Plays the blame game, shut down government crap. We are better positioned now for that than 95, when the DEMs lock on the MSM won the opinion battle for them. Will Tea Party still be active and communicating. Will our internet communication overcome the MSM?
And what happens with no spending for Obama care in the House allocated. IF House and Senate go into conference with different bills, how does the negotiation actually turn out? Another battle for public opinion if they can’t reconcile the bills.
I don’t even know how things are working right now since the Dems haven’t bothered to pass a budget. How is spending allocated? I have no idea. Government is out of control right now. No budget, unbelievable spending.
I think that’s how it works.
It ain't over, they're going to pull out the entire book of October surprises.
Very few. It looks to me like a list of seats that are considered ‘in play’. There are only 5 or so Republican seats in play and it’s starting to look like we’ll even hold Cao and Djou, so barring a major misstep from a candidate, it’s unlikely we’ll lose any of them.
Heads up Ping
I agree, the 1922 election. 76 seats is actually quite probable. It all depends on how demorallized the leftys are. I really warn against getting hopes up too high. The dems are going the low and dirty road of releasing sealed divorce settlements,tax liens, disgruntled former employees, and anything else they can fabricate.

Tonight’s Midnight Deadline
Today is the last day of the crucial 3rd quarter campaign finance reporting period. So many of you have been incredibly generous and Sue and I cannot thank you enough for placing this campaign in the position to win on November 2nd. We need a strong fundraising quarter to demonstrate that we will have the resources down the stretch to share our message and combat the distortions from the opposition. A contribution before midnight would greatly assist our campaign in continuing our momentum, and please encourage friends to contribute to our campaign as well. This is our moment to stop the Obama-Pelosi-Schauer agenda that is bankrupting our nation. This is our opportunity to make our voices heard loud and clear in Washington. To make a contribution, please click here or a check can be mailed to: Walberg for Congress 6769 Teachout Road, Tipton, MI 49287.
Mark Schauer, the national Democrats, and liberal unions have been pouring money into attacks ads and mailers, but because of your generous support, we have been able to fight back. To view our first ad, which is still airing, click here. And because of the numerous misleading attacks on the issue of Social Security, my mom stepped into the fray. Click here to see her ad.
Thank you.
Where I Stand
I’m Tim Walberg and this is where I stand:
* I stand for our Founding Principles - belief in God, our Declaration of Independence, and Constitution...
* I stand for Freedom - to start a business, to choose your doctor, what you drive, what you eat, to carry a gun, to teach & raise your own children, and to live your own life...
* I stand for Personal Responsibility - let’s reward good behavior and discourage bad behavior...
* I stand for Limited Government, Limited, Regulation, Limited Spending, Limited Taxing, and Limited Borrowing...
* I stand for Life and all other American Traditional Values...
“The fundamental difference in this campaign is that I put my trust in the American people, and Mark Schauer puts his trust in big government.”
I wanna see that bitch Loretta Sanchez lose.
No but it can be defunded. All appropriation bills have to start in the US House.
Grammar.
Cannot be said enough. To paraphrase Winston Churchill:
November 2nd is not the end, nor even the beginning of the end, it is merely the end of the beginning.
Ok, so the house can cut off funding.
If the main parts of the bill requiring funding don’t go into effect till 2013 and the parts in effect are essentially taxes that bring in revenue, what funding will be killed that matters?
The thing that could turn this into a bloodbath of epic proportions is that each of these races are independent (somewhat). The voters are not going to be able to look at results and say, well, the GOP now has a majority we can call off the dogs. Nope, the passion that brings them to the polls will cause them to vote for the conservative in their district. It may not turn out that way, also.
But I am hopeful that the rejection of the 0bama agenda will be so strong that the Dems will be in an even bigger panic after Nov 2 than they are now.
All well and good, but November is STILL a long way off. Besides, with the number of RINOs in the house, we’ll need the biggest margin we can get!!
Whether 0bamacare can be repealed depends on a lot of things that are not known yet. If 0bama were to veto a repeal, it takes 2/3s of both houses to override. But I have to believe that Senators Pryor, Nelson, Landrieu, Webb and other Dems from red states will beg 0bama not to veto it. And considering there may be any number of house investigations into impeachable offenses, he may not have the will to do it.
Who knows, the Dems may demand 0bama resign so Hillary can save their butts.
If by some wild chance Boxer, Murray, Gillibrand and Blumenthal are swept out, the Dems will be in true panic. No Dem senator will be safe in 2012.
Are these seats currently held by Democrats?
Amen.
