The next two years could be fruitful, if the GOP had the nerve to shut things down. I doubt it does, and so, it will be 2 years in which the Obama/Pelosi agenda as enacted remains in place, but their rampage of socialism is over. The Dems will be happy to accept gridlock, after 2 amazingly damaging years. The tea party needs to continue to press its issues, because the GOP will not.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the socialist rampage is over; Republicans apparently think their job is just to simply SLOW DOWN the socialists. They haven’t actually thought that they could stop it, let alone reverse it.
