Since January of this year, has it occurred to anyone as to why the Democrats are in such a hurry to push their harmful legislation through quickly? I have a theory* about this and it has to do with the realization that with their man in the White House, the current leadership of both Houses understand that they will likely lose their majority come November of 2010. They Understand that once legislation is passed, it will not only take a new Republican majority to repeal their legislation but a super majority. Let me explain
There are 435 seats in the House and 36 of the 100 seats in the Senate that are up for grabs in 2010. In order for the Republicans to have a veto proof chance at repealing any of the current Congress harmful legislation the GOP will need to have 280 House seats and 66 Senate seats for the 2/3 majority required. Democrats know that it isnt likely that the GOP can pick up the necessary super majority needed to remove their harmful legislation. So they are pushing through all this harmful legislation in record time to insure that it is in place before the current crop of liberal leaders are ousted.
