I know, I’m going to catch hell for critizing Rush!


What he is saying is that 2010 is only the beginning. We can’t achieve victory because there aren’t enough Senate seats in play this time. If we lose the Senate, then that means we have to win that many more seats in 2012 to get to 60. He knows that the best we can do is win as many as possible this time, and finish the job in 2012 by also getting the presidency. Obama will blame the Republican Congress for his failures no matter if we are majority or minority. He blames us now and we don’t have enough seats to do anything. It’s a hollow argument because the people will have elected our side to stop him from proceeding with his agenda.

Even after winning everything in 2012, that will still only be the start of the hard work. We will have to have a leader who really means to cut government spending and that means cutting programs and departments, and we will have to have senators and reps that have the spine to back her up.

Yes, I understand what you’re saying (and what he explained the other day), but it’s not going to help motivate people. Well, maybe it will help motivate through the fear factor.

He was saying the same thing today, and frankly I just turned my radio off. It’s not that i don’t want to hear the truth, but it does nothing but demoralize me. If people feel that voting in Novemeber and 2012 is not going to have any effect...or a negative effect, they won’t vote.

From what he said the other day, he must have got bombarded with comments about the hopelessness of his coments.

Yes, and Rush needs to know we are not idiots!

We understand political reality and that we need a couple of election cycles to regain power.

But we first need to win this victory to begin the process.

The real problem with the Senate will be the quality of the senators. Even if the election gives the GOP control of the Senate, there are absolutely no guarantees that the well known RINOs can be counted on to resist the urge for attention and walk across the aisle to work with Obozo.

RINOs always claim they work with democrats to make a bill less bad than it might have been. BS and we all know it. How about no bill instead? Even if they talk like they will work with him on bills like Cap and Trade or Immigration they will destroy the trust with the voters who put them in office to stop Obama.

If this happens, our chances for regaining the WH in 2012 will be damaged.We are walking a fine line here.
