Even If Republicans Do NOT Take Control Of Either House, Obama Era Over
The Voice of Reason ^ | September 4, 2010 | Texas Peartree

Dick Morris is one of the best political handicappers in the business. Last week on Fox he predicted that the Republicans would pick up 80 seats in the US House of Representatives this November. Not only would that lead to a Republican majority, but also a historically significant repudiation of President Acorn's agenda.

This week Mr. Morris followed up in his nationally syndicated column by predicting that the Republicans would also pick up 10 Senate seats --or more-- and take control of the US Senate. This was almost unfathomable a few months ago based upon the relatively small number of Democrat Senate seats up for a vote this cycle.

Less commented on is this: even if the Republicans do not take control of EITHER House of Congress, the Obama agenda is through after November 2. First, although the House would remain in Democrat hands, the Senate would have enough votes (even without RINOs) to block any piece of legislation or lunatic nomination. Second, in the House you would still have "moderate" (i.e. not-flaming-liberal) Democrat Congressmen who will have seen the Democrat margin in DC disappear. This means that they can no longer hide their votes. The Democrats always allowed their members from marginal districts to vote against unpopular Democrat legislation, as the Democrats had enough votes to pass their laws. With a small majority they cannot give a pass if they need the votes to pass legislation. This means much legislation will not be brought up for a vote in order to spare the Leadership the embarrassment of...

Afraid it won’t happen, IF the majority is turned the right will breathe a sigh of relief and go right back to living with heads firmly planted in sand. Mission accomplished and activism will die.

“In the long term none of his will matter unless the Pubbies find new, better, more conservative, more agressive leadership.”

We are working on it. Everyone needs to GET INVOLVED.

I am working on Anna Little’s campaign in NJ’s 6th district.

She has 100s of volunteers working for her.

I only know of 1 who has ANY previous experience at all.

The local tea party groups are in this for the long haul.

If thousands of people across this country get active in a way they never were before things WILL CHANGE.

One thing I’ve already learned, in politics there is always room at the bottom.

Find your local tea party group, or Republican group, or Americans for prosperity group. OR START ONE. There is mucho info out there.

One gal from another group told me her first meeting had 15 people, now they get 200.

If we harness our individual resources we can 1. throw the dem bums out this November, 2. Take over and reform the Republican party, and 3. Take back our country from the left.

I do not support the idea of a third party at this time. There are enough conservative republicans that we can build on those resources.

Remember, this IS politics, not religion or art. There is never going to be a pol or a party that is 100% pure. Or even 99.44%.

WORK WORK WORK, this is what we must do.

Oh yeah, and SEND MONEY TO SHARRON ANGLE, her victory is CRUCIAL in so many ways.

Send money to my gal Anna Little too!

Dick Morris might be right in this case

Dick is wrong. We have yet to see all the damage Obummer can do via executive orders and administrative actions. There's no one to stop him. DOJ will OK anything Obummer wants.

Do you know how many Republicans voted against Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
