For those who sat on their hands this election in order to teach the Republicans a lesson, know this: the Democrats, having been out of power in the House for 12 years will stop at nothing to see that they never lose power again.

Democracy and Freedom as we know it are at risk and this is not hyperbole. This party will stop at nothing to maintain power, and if they ever regain control of the executive and both houses, we are doomed.

Thus will Franklin prove prophetic: "A Republic, if you can keep it."

You have that right not to mention that same group of people now are saying if Republicans don't put up a social conservative they are staying home. As far as I am concerned, we need to start looking elsewhere for votes because this group cannot be counted on in close elections. I have had it with the 'my way or no way' or 'we are going to teach Republicans a lesson because we don't agree with them 100%' crowd!

Well stated.

But if your scenario indeed comes to pass, what recourse will those who oppose a "dictatorship of the left" have, except to support an American Pinochet?
