what would be sad is, if the republicans win, but govern like democrats-lite. The Federal government need MASSIVE spending cuts, not little ones we’ve seen from Republicans so far
Our demographics are likely to bite your behind. Two minorities which comprise 25% of our population, and that number is growing, believe the sole reason for any government is to cater all needs and desires at the expense of others. We have entered the era of entitlements and any politician who stands in the way will be summarily removed from office.
Look for the Dems to have their CLOCKS CLEANED GOOD in 2010.
Folks here tend to forget that as the tea parties grow by leaps and bounds, they WILL HAVE AN EFFECT. We will see 1994 all over again.
You bet Prophet, I believe that we will have a lame duck Obama or even possibly an impeached Obama after 2010.
Not too fast. Republicans need to figure out what they stand for and how they are going to govern in an era of diminished expectation. They cannot oppose tax and spend with no tax but spend even more. They have to get past the idea that American hegemony is the cure for all the world's ills. They have to believe in free market capitalism, not crony capitalism. They have to believe that more government, but privatized is still more government, and probably even less efficient government. They need to believe that less regulation, less intrusiveness is important. They need to disassemble the nanny state. In a country where 1 in 6 GDP dollars goes to health care the solution is not more money to health care, but free market solutions to health care.
