RE :”By the time Obama and crew get through passing all kinds of revenge legislation during the lame duck session in Congress, it will too late to post this quite rational billboard.

Don't go weak knee-ed on me. They still need 60 votes in the Senate even after the election to pass a bill. But they can increase/add spending and raise taxes with only 51 using budget reconciliation like with health reform, assuming they have the votes in the house for the same measures.

Not weak in the knees, only cautious.

Our nightmare is where the masks come off the GOP Statists after the elections, so there would be just the 60 votes.

Our side needs to be prepared to make lots of noise just in case. Not sure what would work, but it deserves outside the box thought.
