All that will accomplish is marginalizing the entire Conservative movement to the point that Obama-lini could end up with VETO-PROOF majorities in Congress & the Senate in 2011.

????? He's already got majorities on his side, doesn't matter if they are veto proof or not. He'll sign anything they pass. Especially gun control, higher taxes on the rich, Universal Free Health Care, and multitudes of new environmental laws.

Or do you mean "filibuster proof"? That doesn't matter in the House, where the rules don't work that way. In Senate, he's close enough to being filibuster proof (only 1 or 2 votes shy, depending on how Minnesota comes out) that on any given issue, enough of the RINOs or Independents will vote for cloture and they'll have their way (with us!).

BOHICA

Although I prefer to:

Actually, I did mean VETO-PROOF. That would allow the moonbats to come out in droves and put in some pretty stupid things.

Regardless of what one thinks of Obama’s natural political leanings, even he isn’t crazy enough to ascribe to some of the far left’s ideas, knowing that the electorate can still turn on him big time in ‘12.

However, if there were, say, 67 ‘rat Senators and 291 ‘rat Congress-critters, the Soros gang can run roughshod over anything remotely capitalistic, and Obama-lini would have his political cover.
