6-7 Senate seats is about right and would make the Senate filibuster proof unless the Dems want to do away with it which they will pay for down the road.

He’s underestimating the House losses by 50%. Boner will be Speaker in 2011.

As long as Pelosi, Reid, Franks, and others of their ilk are swept out, I’ll be very happy. I want to see someone wipe that smirk off her face.

I think Reid will be swept out but the House leadership are all from districts that are just as commie-left as they are so I don't think there's any chance we'll lose Pelosi, Frank, Waxman, etc. any time soon although seeing them in the minority without their chairmanships will be good enough for now.

Clinton tried to tinker with gays in the military and let his wife create Hillary-Care. That was enough to loose congress. What Obama has done is magnitudes greater. We can only hope that the electorates response is proportional.

Anti-Obama Billboards Appear on Metro Highways

"ATLANTA -- One group is taking freedom of speech and freedom of expression to the limits in a series of Metro Atlanta highway billboards voicing strong opinions against President Barack Obama. "

If I am reading this correctly, any dissent against the black boy king transforming America into a MARXIST nation without a Constitutional Amendment, must be shut down according to this article. Watch this meme be used as a reason for gun grabbing at the first instance of violence - it's a comin'.

The real question is if the anger will last all the way til November. I worry that there may be anger fatigue by then.

By November, the American people will be in even greater personal pain than they are now. Obama & Co. have done NOTHING to positively affect the economy of this country, and EVERYTHING to destroy it.

Obama is isn't tone-deaf to the will of The People. He simply Does Not Care what we say, and will press forward toward his Marxist utopia, regardless of any obstacles or opposition. This, of course, will wreak ever greater chaos and havoc on our economy, and the entire culture.

I personally expect to see a shift of historic proportions in the House this November, because of this.

The only thing that bothers me is that some of the polls related to the economy are not positive for Republicans. When asked who has the best plan for the economy, Obama and the democrats have better results than the Republicans.

If the Republicans do not get a simple coherent message on the economy that can attract the support of the Independents, their chances of retaking the house in 2010 are reduced.

Poll the public about who has the better plan for the economy after this summer. You're going to get an entirely different answer because our economy will be in even worse shape than it is now.

The White House economic propaganda can only obscure reality for so long, and it's already wearing thin.

As I said in my previous post, Obama and the Socialists have done NOTHING to positively affect our economy, and EVERYTHING to destroy it. The catastrophic effects of their Marxist engineering are going to be felt by everyone, including the hopey changey crowd.

Expect devastating losses for the Dems in November. In fact, I predict that conditions in this country are going to get so bad, that elected Democrats will be very lucky if they only lose their jobs.

Well, this is partyly my problem with independents in the first place: if you’re that mush-headed that you can’t form a basic underlying philosophy and approach to life, you’re going to swing around like a leaf in the wind.

Those who can’t make up their minds until the closing day of any election are either a) too disinterested to honestly consider voting or b) mush-headed fools who don’t have any business voting, anyway.

It may be the reality of the situation, but it makes no sense to me to try to cater to the jelloheads.

I just hope the Republicans don’t snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

They've been known to do just that!

“Well, this is partyly my problem with independents in the first place: if you’re that mush-headed that you can’t form a basic underlying philosophy and approach to life, you’re going to swing around like a leaf in the wind.”

Well not necessarily. When the leadership of both parties is so mush-headed, non-conservative, and far from the constitution, I often wonder how any one can belong to any party. Both parties have sold the Americans down the river for the sake of globalization and the new world order.

I research candidates and their records well in advance of elections, and choose the person I vote for based on that research not what they say during their election campaigns, because the mush heads try to appear more conservative than they are.

Forgive my cynicism, but my first thought after reading that was ‘...and start the cycle all over again’.
