Unless the Reps have veto proof majorities in Congress, the Obama agenda now in place, including Obamacare, Green Energy, massive deficits, etc. will continue to go forward. The WH will continue to have the final say on all legislation. It is one thing to stop new items from being added to the Obama agenda, but it is another to roll back the damage he has already done.
“Unless the Reps have veto proof majorities in Congress,...”
Notice you said “Reps” (I think you meant Republicans rather than Representatives in this case) while I said “conservatives”. Conservatives would not need 2/3 majorities in both houses of Congress to stop the democrat agenda dead in its tracks. They would not need to reverse all the past hundred years of progressive legislation to stop the leftists right now. All they would need to do is not fund the programs and stand up to the leftist threats to “shut down the federal government”. This de-funding stoppage is made much easier due to the fact that the nation is reaching its credit limit. Yes, the reversal of the progressives’ past federal legislative acts would have to wait until we elected a cooperative president and/or veto-proof majorities.
If Obama does get re-elected, I certainly do want at the very least conservative control of both houses of congress for an Obama lame-duck presidential term, and that may be the most realistic and important goal for right now.
I don’t think George Will has what I described in mind when he wrote his column, though. I think he visualized a bunch of faux conservatives, not tea-party types, in the House and especially in the Senate, still “cooperating” with the democrat executive and judicial branches for another four years. JMHO.
