There is no way to “get to the next election in good shape.”
The whole lot of them, almost without exception, need to be defeated.
I disagree - I think the country agrees that we need to control government. And that's where we are now...
That's why 0zer0 is doing what he can to change to subject to be able to blame republicans for 12% unemployment and riots in the streets. I'd like to avoid unemployment getting even worse, i'd like to avoid riots, and i'd like to remain focused on getting the Senate and/or the White House.
With full control, we can repeal obamacare, reform entitlements, and shrink government. We cannot do that with just the House.
