I don't think the 'rats are afraid or scared, just unexpectedly surprised at their upcoming rejection.

I’m not sure that Obama is that concerned either - he knew that he had two years to get the machinery of his progressive movement passed by congress and under the supervision of the bureaucracy. After that, he only has to play defense and veto everything that the new congress sends him.

That, or they already have their fraud in place and ready to go. The Black Panther “case” showed them they can proceed with impunity.

And, you can never underestimate the Weepublican party’s ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If the Republicans gain the majority, I have no doubt that he plans to use them as a scapegoat for the purpose of his own re-election.

‘...says Democratic strategist Steve McMahon. “They want bi-partisan solutions and smart policy...’

No, I don’t think that is what the public wants at all. They want the federal government to CUT IT OUT.

Stop with the massive expenditures. Stop with the mathematically impossible debt. Stop trying to control all possible outcomes of everything while compiling massive dossiers on everyone. Stop trying to prevent Americans from doing anything that upsets even a single nut case, freak or kook.

Let’s face it. The federal government is at least 50% too big, 50% too involved in our lives, 1000% too expensive, and without any discipline of any kind. We have 16 out of control intelligence agencies, 40+ out of control federal police agencies, our borders are effectively open to any criminal or terrorist who wishes to venture across them.

We have military deployments in over 100 foreign countries, the vast majority of whom are just sitting there, expensively twiddling their thumbs. The current government forbids us to harvest our own fuel, caught up in fantasies of controlling the atmosphere of the Earth with what amounts to tiny amounts of very improbable magic.

And the government is convinced that it is the source of all our prosperity, so much so that it is willing to pay the majority of the public to not work, but to spend. To do this it prints money with no basis in reality, and assures us we will all become rich if we just keep voting them into office.

The public has had enough. We don’t want “bipartisan solutions and smart policy”. The only solution we want is to pour an acidic solvent on most of the government and wash it down the drain.

The British coalition is showing the way, by firing every government employee they can catch.

And by George, I think they’ve got it!

I don’t there is enough possible to make a difference. This situation is like the sinking of the Titanic to the Dems. Their unsinkable ship of state is damaged beyond repair and is going to founder.

That the whole problem u Dems have Stevie, you are NOT promoting "Smart policy" you merely scream ignorant slogans rather then admit your ideological driven polices have completely failed.

Yep, it is TIME to DownSize DC!

Eliminate entire Departments (Education, EPA, etc.)

Force Congress and Senate to telecommute most of the year from their home district. Away from the Lobbyists and under the thumb of the electorate. Can you imagine the cost savings and it would forever change the center-of-gravity of the Federal Government.

Your tagline brings attention to the primary sin that this nation is under correction for now.
