If a GOP candidate won the presidency, and the GOP controlled both houses of Congress, would that be a good thing? That seems to be recipe for them lurching to the left, and the GOP is overall farther to the left now.

Thanks and again, welcome to Free Republic. :)
After the last decade I've begun to fear that if the Republicans had an 80 seat majority in the Senate..
they'd somehow still let the democraps block things.
I'd give anything to have more fire eaters in the Republican ranks. Stop worrying about being “statesmen” and all that other crap and just win!
I don’t mean to bust everyone’s buble, but do you really think the GOP will control the Senate even if they do win the Senate back? McCain and all the other RINO’s will feel empowered to counter every move by a Conservative President and will side with the Dims every time!
Question is, “What are they going to do with it?”
Big deal. We’ve had Republicans in charge of the Senate before. What we need are conservatives. Big difference.
It won’t matter unless WE the People can help elect TEA Party Conservatives.
WE LET McCain back in to the Senate! What kind of idiocy was THAT?
South Carolina voted Lindsey Graham back in to the Senate. How can they justify that?
WE MUST STAY ON TOP OF THE ‘RINO’ POPULATION IN CONGRESS AND VOTE EVERYONE OUT.
And We Must VET our Republicans to make sure we don’t get a “TPINO” ... Tea Party In Name Only ... elected.
No wonder people keep telling me “I hate Politics.”
And while we’re at it ... let’s go back and repeal the 17th Amendment ... The Founding Fathers KNEW what they were doing when they had only ONE House popularly elected.
If or When we get a solid conservative in the White House and a GOP Majority in Congress, We The People need to set the repeal of the 17th Amendment as our goal.
Here is part II of smae article...

Our nation needs this bad... and a major change in the executive branch too.
BALLS will win the day, to date I see none, but I am still concerend that even with a majority in the house and senate and a new president the limp wristed GOP RHINOS will be working with the rats once again to reach over the isle and treat them like humans instead of the criminals they really are. They never learn, I hope we have!
