It should be pretty obvious that President Obama and his Dem-run congress want no part of what most of America is screaming for: A free republic with a smaller government footprint not the enormous one currently stomping anyone in its path.
According to Rasmussen Polls, 71% of voters say they are angry at the government and 46% describe themselves as very angry.
Reversals from the Obama 2008 juggernaut were huge in Virginia and leftist New Jersey , yet the Dems in charge don’t care. The leaders will knowingly sacrifice their own Dem Reps and Senators in upcoming races as long as it doesn’t personally affect them and they’re confident they can still eke out a majority.

They are headed for defeat the magnitude of Little Big Horn and a suprise.
Expect massive vote fraud. They are not going anywhere unless they are dragged kicking and screaming from office.
Looks more like people ready to fire at congress and Obama than just fire them.
We expected to see it here in VA and Christie fought it well in NJ. Not a smidgen seen at all. They are on their way out as no amount of voter fraud will be able to stop the dam from breaking.
Don’t ever underestimate the depravity of a Dem in an election.
The pressure must be applied now. We need to be all over them, take control of congress, celebrate for one day, then go right back to fixing the damage they’ve done with a continued application of pressure. We can NEVER LET UP!

I don’t and consider liberal Democrats to be the lowest form of life on earth next to terrorists and other totalitarians. I agree with you as we need to apply pressure to them and hard. Liken it to an arm wrestling match where I consider victory where you break your opponent’s arm in six different places.
I agree...The demo0crat leftists will steal the elections through voter fraud, intimidation, and lies...
It’s their nature...

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

The public debt is very nearly at its current ceiling of $12 trillion. That is $120,000 for every U. S. household, assuming 100 million households. When a government borrows, it promises to repay. The credibility of that promise is based on the ability to raise revenue--by taxing its populace--to repay the loan. Can the 'average' American repay this much as taxes? I doubt that I can.
When a government cannot repay its loans, it defaults. The German Weimar Republic in the 20's got itself out of that situation by printing money. Hyperinflation was the result. It took a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread. People got off work midday to shop, since 4 more hours meant their currency was worth that much less. Restaurants didn't put prices on menus, because the price of the meal (since the value of the money was deteriorating so quickly) would change during the time it took to eat that meal.
The public debt ceiling (the statutory limit on the indebtedness of the U.S. government) was last voted up with the Omnibus Spending Bill for 2009, H.R. 1105, in February '09. The U.S. Congress is talking about voting it up again, to the tune of $1.4 TRILLION, or about 15%, but the House 'leadership' is saying they will put this increase in the Department of Defense 2010 Appropriations Bill--what is considered a 'must pass' piece of legislation. Now we see one reason more troops to Afghanistan may have been necessary--how many House members can afford the bad press they'll get when they vote 'against the troops,' never mind that they may just want an honest Defense appropriations bill, and to vote against acquiring more debt?
Here is another thing to feed your nightmares: the public debt limit can be voted up without a roll call vote--in this case the Congressional Record will not reveal who is responsible for that act of calumny. Legislation has been introduced this session to make a rule that the vote has to be 1) a stand-alone measure, and that 2) a roll call vote (reveals individual legislators' votes) is required, but--surprise!--the bill languishes in committee.
