My wish for the election is for the Senate and the Executive branch to not be under control of the same party. I get nervous when one party has control of both.

America is more prosperous and our liberties are safer when the government can't get anything done, IMHO.

An insightful thought and often overlooked. I tend to agree.

Well, if the Republicans take the Senate and Romney wins the presidency, you get your wish.

Interesting comment.

Which outcome do you prefer, Obama stays and Reid goes, or Reid stays and Obama goes?

I understand your sentiment but this time it is essential that the government “get something done.” As in rolling back Obamacare, rescinding the onerous EPA regs, amending Dodd-Frank to the point it becomes invisible, stop the folly of funding green energy in a willy-nilly fashion while sensibly utilizing our voluminous oil, natural gas and, yes, even coal resources, doing what can be done to restore a business friendly climate where people get back to work and fuel our ecomomy. Also, start to modify the Medicare program so it doesn’t financially swallow us whole.

Simply put, if much of the damage Obama and his Dim cronies in DC, in the union halls, in Hollywood, in the newsrooms and TV studios, has done isn’t countered in the next presidential term it will no longer much matter who is elected. By that time (2017), the socialist and fascist rot will be damned well entrenched all throughout our society and almost impossible to stop.

So, please, don’t be so quick to declare “I will never do.....this or that.” If you’re in a battleground state, your single vote could mean a lot.

Personally, I think Obama is going to get routed. But I may be wrong so I will go vote R top to botton on Nov. 6. We need to get the presidency AND control of the senate. Republicans need both or I fear greatly for our republic.
