Really bad news for Dems and encouraging for the Republicans, but they need to promise, then keep their promise to reduce taxes AND government spending, get the economy going AND repeal Obamacare.

They are right about the Democrat’s. Remains to be seen what the will of Republicans will be. Since the public still doesn’t like them I would recommend they not screw this second chance up.

It's those right wingers spreading racist hate.

As Sebelius says folks need time in the reeducation camps to understand how high taxes and out of control spending proves government knows best.

Unfortunately, a good number probably think that, but THEIR Democrat will be exempted. It's the wishy washy, wanting to appear so intelligent and high-minded "I vote for the man, not the Party" nimrods that better wake up and smell the coffee or we're done.

IMHO - I happen to believe we're already done - do you really think with all this news that the Commies will relinquish total power merely because the unwashed masses say so?

I wonder what was their first clue. Never mind, it's good to see some momentum building.

If people expect that the Republicans will reduce spending then they’re in for a disappointment.
