My concern is taht even if the Republicans win large numbers next election, what does everyohne think they will do with their new found power?

I have serious doubts that, once victorious, they will use the power they have obtained in any truly bold and conservative manner.

They will cave to the will of the majority and reach out to the Dems...

There’s that. Hope springs eternal?

They had control of all three branches in Bush’s first term and what did they do with that power? Not much. They did manage to keep us safe from another terrorist attack though. To me, that is the government’s main job. Maybe even the only job it should have.

Now....the federal government is failing us in about every way it can fail us...by trying to enslave us and tanking the economy and failing to support our military. All that’s missing now is another terrorist attack ..only with WMDs next time. I read where Zero cut funding to inspections at ports of entry for nuclear materials. Ain’t life great!

That depends on whether we elect conservative patriots or spineless RINOs and traitorous DIABLOs.

Once Republicans get that power, it's our job to make sure they know that they are expected to use it. There's no reason the Tea Parties should stop even if we have both houses of Congress and the White House; they need to continue - if only to remind the politicians who they work for.
