I've echoes a similar sentiment to the one that Scarborough promotes in this article. It really doesn't matter who controls the Congress at this point, because true conservative policies are not being implemented anyway.

It may even be better to let Democrats take control of Congress, because maybe then the President will finally use the veto pen. Another advantage would be that the Democrats would immediately launch impeachment hearings against the President, which would be great because the truth would come out, nationally televised, and would debunk Democratic talking points all over the place.

I think it would be good if one of the two houses at least fell to the Democrats. Probably the Senate. It's not like the Senate has done anything good recently anyway.

I disagree. I want to have a solid conservative SCOTUS, which we may get if there's an opening in the next 2-3 years. Even when the president looks bad, his choice for SCOTUS (bar the Meiers misstep, but it was corrected) has been good. None of this is going to happen with Senate under Democratic hand.

I don't think that GW Bush would ever have the guts or courage to use the veto pen, ESPECIALLY if the DimWits controlled either the Senate or the House. Bush has an overriding obsession to pander & capitulate & appease those on the LEFT who despise & revile him. The only critics that he publicly chastises & scorns is his conservative majority base that elected him for two terms. We thought we were getting a conservative.... what we actually got is a bona fide CINO and big government spender and one-world globalist. GW Bush doesn't have the guts or courage to enforce our nation's immigration laws, deport the illegal immigrants or build an effective fence to stop the illegals... I don't care if we don't stop 100% of them... I would settle for stopping 95-98% at this time.

Bottom line is, there is not a bill that reaches his desk that he isn't eager to sign.

I may be looking at this wrong but what makes you think the President wouldn't be Impeached and found guilty by the Senate? If the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, the Republicans wouldn't have a chance.

Remember it was the Senate, controlled by Republicans, that didn't find Clinton guilty. There really wasn't a trial as we would know a trial. The Republicans , as usual,, didn't want to make waves. Or sometimes I think those FBI files, that no one looked at that were in the White House, might have had some thing to do with it.

Cross you off as a social conservative.
