The action of Obama, Pelosi, Reid will cost the Democrats dearly in 2012. Democrats and Obama's administration needs to explain why it is so radical for Tea Party movement to want the federal government to tax less, spend less, balance the budget, secure the borders, and leave more authority to American People, local and state governments.

Phase II of “We the People Take Their Country Back” has begun. We’ve regrouped and reloaded.

Let them try to go on as of the election meant nothing at all, as Scary Harry came out and said the day after the election that those making 250K/yr. would have their tax cuts expire, come hell or high water. Let them elect Pelosi as their leader. Let them continue to not listen to the electorate. I dare them.

They will pay for it while guaranteeing Obama sevres only one term. Then we can happily go about dismantling their progressive empire piece by piece, brick by brick, with nothing standing in the way.

Everytime I see an article with a title like this I say to myself, "2012 is a long way off". Anything can happen. After 1994 and impeachment, a lot of people wrote the Great Stainmaker off. Look what happened.

We may have the House, but Hussain still has the Senate , he's one nominee away from the SCOTUS and he'll always have the media and academia. The GOP has about an 8 month window IMHO to show something and to get their message out to the great uninformed masses. Because we [Freepers] are tuned into talk radio, the Internet and we're political junkies we take for granted that people understand things and think logically. Being a union member and working with other union members you'd be shocked at how many people still think Zer0 is giving us FREE HEALTHCARE and how many blame the insurance companies profiteering for the increases in their health insurance and the cost of gasoline.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled at the election results, but as Beck , Rush , Levin etc say , "Now the real work begins."

The Republicans did not win control of the Senate along with control of the House, and have no recourse to Presidential veto. The battle may haveactually been lost in 2008 simply due to ignorance, as the deteriorating financial condition of the US may not allow elections of 2012 to be productive if there is nothing left for a Republican win to do by that time.

World responses to the smallest of financial events are almost instantaneous, and at the latest in one or two days. Much of the future is priced in before the fact. The Fed has now declared by deed to the world that it is no longer independent and seeks advisement from anywhere, even as it has been given control of the entire US populations financial management through the Consumer Financial Protection Act via the creation of the Bureau of COnsumer Financial Protection. As the Fed goes, so we go, as we are locked inside the Fed now as citizens by the “excellent” judgement of the Democrat Party.

Bernanke and the world have noted the Fed is in uncharted, uncontrollable territory, and the population of the US has been given over to the Fed for manipulation and control??!!

The media has somehow missed the significance of this.

2012 is impossibly far away in financial terms and what will avail as constructive possibility cannot be reliably predicted from this point in time at all. For example, Europe could easily collapse before 2012 and take us with it. UK right now is liquidating its military infrastructure, govt buildings and public works projects. Ireland is close behind. Greece, Portugal, Spain ready to go. 2012 seems so close and is yet so....far.

Gee that’s a real good way of fomenting job growth, by taxing the he$$ out of the class of people who provide most of the jobs.

Forget it, we're all doomed. Many of the tea partiers will switch again if anyone has the courage to tackle the entitlements. We can't save ourselves by managing discretionary spending.

Retirees, my parents included, will never support anyone who doesn't agree that Social Security and Medicare are their birthright. They will have to be appeased by promising to affect future entitlements to those under 40, etc. I don't know how we will ever get away from paying current retirees with tax money from current taxpayers. The people are hooked.

It is amusing to me that the evidence of personal account investment efficacy is so clear. I wish I could remember who said it, but I recently read a quote from a (D) politician who said this recent fall in the market is a great example of why investing Social Security in the stock market is such a bad idea.

According to this politician, having 70% of your assets left is worse than having 0%. Of course I'm putting words in his mouth by characterizing a future promise as being 0% of the money I've contributed, but you get the idea.

I was throwing down the gauntlet, daring them not to listen. I do not support their policies.

Strategically, it is better for the Republicans to NOT have won the Senate this year.

In 2 years, it will be more clear for those that don’t understand.

If W's plan for SS reform had been implemented a couple years after it was proposed (there would have been some ramp-up time) participants would be sitting pretty right now since they would have invested much of their money in a deeply discounted market.
