In 2004 Bush didn’t have a built in majority that is on the rise.

All the Democrats have to do is find a black person or an Hispanic person and run them in 2016. Instant winner. The Republicans won’t win another national election until things are trashed beyond repair.

When have they ever, in recent history?? I cannot stomach hearing Dear Leader blather on about “working together.” Uh, anyone remember how the Reps were literally locked out of the Obamacare plotting? Peter Johnson Jr. was on F&F this morning talking about how this is a second chance for Dear Leader and we should reach out to work with him in return. I wanted to vomit.

They didn't have to compromise. They had the MSM to paint their no-compromise position as "principled."

If our side tries that, we'll be labeled as "dead-enders" and voted out. Which I suspect will happen anyway, no matter what the Republican majority in the House does.

Now you see that Evil will always triumph, because Good is Dumb.

One thing I think I learned last night about 2010 is that politics are definitely local. A lot of us expected more this year after 2010. We were wrong. 2010 showed that we are strong in our states. Period. We can control one or both houses of Congress and thus handcuff any Marxist president. The White House ain't gonna happen again; but if we can keep our senators and congresscritters we can at least slow down the downward spiral.

However, Boehner, McConnell and others of their ilk have to play hardball the way the 'rats do. Failure to do so led the loss of both houses in the 2006 midterms. Stay the course, and we can strengthen out numbers. Sell us out and we're done with each other.

And Harry Reid put out the word a couple of days ago that there would have been no cooperation with a Romney agenda in the Senate.

The House should take the same attitude with Obama’s second term agenda, but I doubt they will in any effective way.

I want to see Republicans in Congress treat Democrats like Democrats in Congress treat Republicans. Ignore the howls of protest and just document how every action is an equal and opposite reaction... and maybe not even both with that.
