With the walloping Republicans gave Democrats in the midterm elections, the GOP stands one Louisiana Senate runoff away from completely controlling Southern politics from the Carolinas to Texas. Only a handful of Democrats hold statewide office in the rest of the Old Confederacy.

The results put Southern Republicans at the forefront in Washington — from Senate Majority Leader-in-waiting Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to a host of new committee chairmen.

Holly Rollers! They want to impose Jesus, biblical values and respect for life upon the country.

Which has always been liberals’ great fear about America. Why, those intolerant Republicans! We’ll show ‘em.

It means that they may take a good look at what Islam really is and not just accept it as being a ROP.

I’ve believe it when they oust Boner and that guy from California from House leadership.

But southerners will chair many key committees.

Great posting! For some unbelieveable reason, the conservatives always love freedom & liberty, and the mentally deranged liberals/progressives/demoRATs will ALWAYS love socialism & totalitarianism & government all-encompassing control. Bastards!

a) appproving of gay marriage
b) Govt paying for sex change
c) Decriminalizing drugs
d) Confiscatory rates of taxation
e) Nationalizing healthcare
f) Making diet decisions for your children in Washington
g) Something else.
