“My biggest fear is a repeat of 1994 and 1996. The Republicans take over the House and Senate, the voters forget why they were disgusted with the Democrats, and two years later Obama gets re-elected.”
Tea Parties didn’t even exist in the glimmer of someone’s eye in 1994 - 1996. Sure there was significant turnover, but Clinton headed to the middle - he didn’t shove health care down Americans throats just before 1994, or we would have had super majorities then. As bad as Clinton and wife were then, MAO-bama and crew are magnitudes worse. And American is finally WAKING up to that.
Oh, we won’t let people ‘forget’ in ‘tween now and 2012.
No, but there was real revolution in the air.
After a two week cross country trip in 1994, I was so stunned by what I heard from clerks and people that I met, that I spent three days in my house when I returned, trying to figure out if I was imagining things.
After three days I drove to a British friends house and told him that we were going to have a revolution, he asked me if I meant a violent one and I told him no, that Americans don't swing that way (today), that it will be in the election, and we did have a massive electoral revolution at every level, state houses, Governors, the Congress and Senate, even Mayors.
