As long as the GOP promises a bit more safety, free schooling, free old age care, and free prescription drugs, they can stay the majority. Saving Medicare, Social Security, and providing money for schools and health care is the key to majority status.

What to do with "our" majority status? To keep our eyes on the ball, we must remember how we are getting it, and stay true to that. The Democrat majority got everything it wanted, and much of it is not good. There are so many problems with their worldview and policies; the targets are so numerous we shoot them down with pop guns.

One example: too many guaranteed jobs in fed bureacracy.

You don't stay politically dominant by eliminating wasteful but sentimental programs like Head Start. I will never forget for as long as I live the image liberals projected of Newt Gingrich snatching a poor black kid's breakfast. But you can change regulations that make so many government jobs cushy.
