Before we can take back the country we’ll have to take back the Republican Party.

Completely agree with this statement, but I also think that everyone, especially the Republican Congressmen, need to come to the understanding that with no veto-proof majority in the Senate and without the Presidency, all the Republicans can do is gum up the works for the next two years.

I honestly think that this talk of "compromise" comes from a legitimate fear that, after November, the Republicans are going to be painted in a negative light at every turn, and if things are not much different in 2012, the public with their short attention spans will re-elect Obama and will turn away from the Republicans again.

Yes, the Republicans in the House can pass legislation and yes, if we get the Majority in the Senate, we can possibly pass this legislation in the Senate (must get by the infamous cloture rule). But then the legislation gets to Obama and he will veto ALL of it. And the media will not carry the water of the House Republicans, they will carry the water of Obama.

It will be of upmost importance that the Republicans become solidified on their message that they are attempting the reforms that the people elected them to legislate, but Obama is standing in the way at every turn. And they will have to be LOUD about it. Thoughts?
