>”By working hard to increase conservative members of House and Senate in 2012 and more in 2014, will CAN AND WILL put Obama in check”<

Funniest thing I've read here all night. Convince people not to Vote the top of the Ticket so Obama waltzes back into power for another four years and they will magically show up for all the down ballot Republican Candidates.

FR Posters might do that, but the average Joe will stay home and watch American Idol. Obviously a winning strategy.

Oh yeah, unless we get a 2/3rd’s Majority in the House and Senate, Obama will Veto anything the Republicans push through, including repealing Obamacare. Then we have to deal with Obama’s three SCOTUS picks. Yep, sounds like the right move to preserve the Republic.

Well, back to the Cars, Dogs, Guns and Kitten Threads for me. Don't want to upset anyone lurking or Posting here.

Here's what you have to watch out for ~ arguing that the political realities are such that there's no way to do anything at all due to a 3/4 or 2/3 majority requirement.

That is so false, and Bill Clinton could tell you about it ~ a bunch of Puerto Rican mad bombers and gunmen tried to change the political balance in the Congress by simply killing off the members!

Bill, bless his little stone heart, eventually commuted their stentences ~ and I believe pardoned some of them.

But that is still a political reality ~ so don't lead people to believe it's also THE ONLY OPTION ~ else you might get some of them trying to do it again.

We do not need to be part of that field of study. And even with a 2/3 majority, and us not quite having it, that doesn't mean that Senators and members of the House cannot be persuaded the old fashioned way ~ with argument, debate, action in their home districts, and so on.

Now with some of them that's not true of course since they are Stalinists ~ like that old gal up in Chicago ~ no way she can be persueded, but she sometimes votes out of spite when she discerns she's being totally ignored by the other Democrats.

Part of the rules we ought to have is to try Constitutional processes ~ 'til it hurts. Leave to the Puerto Ricans and the leftists to use violence.

The average Joe GOES WITH THE FLOW and dead fish are needed by the establishment.
