I believe that we will have a minority potentially able to filibuster socialism in Congress and Senate, but I wonder how much "conservative will be the GOP. Safe republicans seats in Senate are coming from very conservative or very liberal strongholds. Is it the end of the GOP? I hope not! We can just fight.

I don’t think Democrats even want a 60 vote majority in the Senate.

B. Hussein Obama was coronated by the Democrat Party.

I’ve never been a McCain fan. In fact I used to swear I’d never vote for him. As it turns out, I’m voting for Palin and against B.O., and McCain gets that vote by default.

However, I’ll give this to him. He’s one of the most vigorous and determined 72 year olds on the planet. He makes a lot of mistakes, but he doesn’t let up and has been at it all out for two years.

If he loses, I hope he’ll not revert to the old McCain - pal to Ted Kennedy and Chris Matthews - but will use his vigor and drive to thwart B.O. at every turn possible.

“This election comes down to how you want your hard-earned money spent,” McCain said to a small audience at the Renaissance hotel in downtown Cleveland. “Do you want to keep it and invest it in your future, or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the Presidency, and the Democratic leaders who have been running Congress for the past two years — Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?”


This coming from someone who supports using the people's money to impose more socialism on our capitalistic economy thereby taking more freedom from the people. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

We know that, and quite frankly and quite honestly, we deserve it, because we failed to lead under the contract with American that we signed in 1994.”

The contract with America was a farce. There has been a contract with America since 1787. It's called the Constitution. There would have been no need for the 1994 farce if Congress critters had abided by the Constitution all along. The GOP is just as much to blame by allowing for incremental socialism in an effort to expand its voter base.

Pelosi jumped right out and said that if the dems control is complete it will mean bipartisanship.

It will be clear by the first midterms that the dems will lose more than the 40 seats lost by bubba his first midterm.

While it might be the end of the GOP (a very miniscule loss, really), it won't be the end of conservatism. Another party will take its place. Moreover, despite their best efforts, our half-wit President, his father, Senator McQueeg and the neo-cons have not been nor will ever be able to destroy that.
