I believe the Republican resurgence in 2010 will retake control of Congress.
In fact, I think that the above statement is a given. Why am I not happy?
I am far from happy. I am fearful. The Republicans are coming to town without a clear plan, without direction, without expressed objectives, without a timetable, and perhaps worst of all, without a leader.
It is essential for our national recovery that an easily understood, step by step plan be put forward, promoted, and thoroughly explained. Who will lead?
The GOP must lead forward. If we fail, the country will plunge into the political paralysis forecast by Pat Buchanan in his last column.
It is simply not enough for us to win in November. We have to win, and hit the ground running. We need an immediate score in our opening set of downs.
impeach the POTUS usurper.
“Why am I not happy? “
Beats the shite out of me...I couldn’t be happier...no matter what their failings are, even the RNC Elites could not lay an egg as big as this massive fuster cluck of Zero’s.
You are correct.
If only they would agree to follow the Constitution, without all the bs, it would be a good start.
Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution is the first thing they should pass.
...but what will they do to correct (reverse) the situation? I don't want to hear any "...we must move forward..." tripe!
Take it from a Massachusetts resident: Mitt Romney is NOt the man to lead the GOP. He is a Socialist in RINO cloth. He DESTROYED first-class health care in Massachusetts with his buddy Ted Kennedy’s Health Insurance Tax, a full-on socialist program that has ruined the quality and cost of health care in this state.
He also allowed GAY MARRIAGE and did not defer TO THE PEOPLE of Massachusetts because we would have struck that crap down.
Federal office holder term limit amendment
Simplify everything.
It will be nearly impossible to provide true reform in health care without going back to a time without so many governmental carrots and sticks.
Do away with most deductions and make everybody who earns an income pay something with regard to taxes. Lower the rates to sweeten the loss of deductions.
Relax regulations on small business to encourage new startups and expansions. As it is now, if a large company wants to drive out a small one, they can hire a lawyer to find a vulnerable spot.
Overall theme - self sufficiency, real volunteerism, ultimate goal of putting most laws in English that any high school grad could understand and retain. Stifle the bureaucrats and the lawyers.
Bureaucracies have to perform for the People, not self flagelation and primo retirement perks.
Cut Retirement perks....make the Fed. Government Employee look for another place to work, because sitting on your Buns behind a Desk thinking Global Warming is killing the Planet, is killing your Fed Job.
Destroy the EPA, before it destroys America. Clean house, reduce Government Payrolls. Pull up the Roots of the Tree, Trim the uselss foilage, show what happens when Government is out of Control.
“...but what will they do to correct (reverse) the situation? I don’t want to hear any “...we must move forward...” tripe!”
Right now, I don’t care...I really don’t...when you are heading toward a cliff, you gotta stop the car first, then figure out what to do. Right now, we have GOT to stop this coup in DC. These next elections can help get the ground swell going and hopefully we can figure out what to do next. But the campaigns are on right now...let’s slam those brakes on.

Hey how about this;
Repair the stimulus. Freeze the funds that haven’t yet been spent and redirect them to immediate, private sector job-creation priorities.
Create tax incentives that promote business expansion and hiring. For example, install a robust investment tax credit, permit businesses to expense capital purchases made in 2010, and reduce payroll taxes. These will reignite construction, technology and a wide array of capital goods industries, and lead to expanded employment.
Prove to the global investors that finance America’s debt that we are serious about reining in spending and becoming fiscally prudent by adopting limits on non-military discretionary spending and reforming our unsustainable, unfunded entitlements. These are key to strengthening the dollar, reducing the threat of rampant inflation and holding down interest rates.
Close down any talk of carbon cap-and-trade. It will burden consumers and employers with billions in new costs. Instead, greatly expand our commitment to natural gas and nuclear, boosting jobs now and reducing the export of energy jobs and dollars later.
Tell the unions that job-stifling “card check” legislation is off the table. Laying new burdens on small business will kill entrepreneurship and job creation.
Don’t allow a massive tax increase to go into effect in 2011 with the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. The specter of more tax-fueled government spending and the reduction of capital available for small business will hinder investment and business expansion.
New spending should be strictly limited to items that are critically needed and that we would have acquired in the future, such as new military equipment to support our troops abroad and essential infrastructure at home.
Install dynamic regulations for the financial sector rules that are up to date, efficient and not excessively burdensome. But do not so tie up the financial sector with red tape that we lose a vital component of our economic system.
Open the doors to trade. Give important friends like Colombia favored trade status rather than bow to protectionist demands. Now is the time for aggressive pursuit of opportunities for new markets for American goods, not insular retrenchment.
Stop frightening the private sector by continuing to hold GM stock, by imposing tighter and tighter controls on compensation, and by pursuing a public insurance plan to compete with private insurers. Government encroachment on free enterprise is depressing investment and job creation.
Most of these politicians need to put coolers on their shoes.
The way they are running to the right/conservative side is laughable. And those overheated shoes could cause fires.
They think they can fool the electorate again.
Sadly, they probably can. Heck, look how many bought McCain-the-conservative in 2008. And AZ will probably send him right back to Washington in 2010.
Face it. The GOP doesn’t have the stones to take on National Public Radio.
Bush/Lott/Hasteret=Obama Lite.
GOP=half speed/go slower Democrats
We then do what Willie Nelson says in a song ,The partys over and tommorrow starts the same old thing again
Defund ACRON,
Sign an executive order doing away with SEIU,
Eliminate the minimum wage,
Mandate "right to work" laws for all 50 states (you don't have to belong to a union to get a job),
Defund AARP and make them register as a PAC for the Democrat Party,
Eliminate the NEA,
Reduce the size of EPA by one-half,
Start drilling for oil in all of the known deposits,
Cancel any stimulus funds that haven't been paid out,
Institute a complete accounting of who has received any monies from the Obama administration and file criminal charges against them where applicable,
Impeach Eric Holder and all of his appointments,
Eliminate the Department of Education,
Increase border security and deny social services to illegals immediately,
I'm sure there are more, and I will add to this list later.
If history is any guide... they'll act like Democrats.
Lather, rinse, repeat...
Have hearings on all these Acorn actions and other BS
