However if the Democrats get their filibuster proof Congress, gain the White House and commence with an orgy of new spending, new taxes and a lurch to the left it will be to their detriment. The promises they have made cannot be fulfilled without pushing the US economy over the edge. The voters will quickly become disillusioned when gasoline is $5 per gallon, unemployment and inflation are in double digits and the government becomes even more intrusive into their pensions, bank accounts and personal lives. In two years there could again be a new demand for change and a pull back toward less leftist policies. If an Obama/Pelosi/Reid triumvirate persists in pushing ever leftward it could mean in 2012 the virtual end of the leftist Democratic party as a majority in Congress or in control of the White House for decades.
I kid you not.
