Poll suggests 2012 change in power in Washington
Yahoo News | 09 Aug 2011 | By Rachel Rose Hartman

Posted on 08/09/2011 11:36:28 AM PDT by US Navy Vet

Prior to the elections of 1994, 2006 and 2010 when party control changed hands in the House or Senate, many Americans said incumbents didn't deserve re-election.

Now, we're seeing the highest number of Americans in two decades who agree with that sentiment, spelling another potential "wave" election for 2012, USA Today reports.

If it even appears like the Republican ticket could win, look for what we are seeing in England to happen here the Summer of 2012.

It already is....’cept the press calls them “Flash mobs”. They were called looters and rioters in the days before smart phones.

The left thinks this means that they are going to retake the House. What it actually means is that Republicans are going to re-gain control of the Senate and WH in addition to the House. Voters are not dumb enough to make the mistake they made in 2008 again. It will be another wave election and another nail in the coffin of big government!

If USA Today is reporting this, 2012 must look devastating for liberal Democrats and liberal Republicans.

Rioting probabaly won't happen here because too many Americans own guns.

Aren't those riots in response to the police shooting of a suspected gang member?

I would have NO problem perforating some Teenagers and Twenty-Somethings. If you do it to some maybe the rest will get the message,

IF you are a gullible Media believing sheep. That may have been the spark, but the mahem has nothing to do with a police shooting. One protester was quoted on video saying, “We are just showing the rich people we can do what we want”.

Yep, just got to read the book - the strategy is all there that is why Pelosi calls the zero “brilliant” he has committed Marxist tactics to memory. Joy! I stay committed to get every thug out of Washington D.C. no matter how long it takes. This Cr@p has been going on since the 1920s and it is time to, as the equally brilliant Pelosi says, “drain the swamp. Little did she know that included HER! Let's just getterdone.

In light of the past month or so I think that it could be POSSIBLE for Conservatives to take a 290 to 300 seats in the US House AND maybe 59 to 64 Seats in the US Senate, and MANY more Gov and State Leg seats.

It is interesting that the msm is calling them “flash mobs”. Isn’t that what they were calling those seemingly spontaneous singing and dancing acts that would just pop up at the mall and someone would put it on youtube, about a year ago?

Unless the people with guns do something and call it something else.

My thoughts are that everyone is dissatisfied with a broken system of government. The left wants more freebies taken from the producers, while the producers want to stop being victims of government extortion.

The electorate as a whole is bouncing back and forth between two parties, neither one of which can govern effectively.

So we have a choice between a party bent on impoverishing our country by design, and a party that allows our country to be impoverished through a lack of political will to face up to the stark realities.

Unfortunately, I believe the electorate mirrors the GOP; the American people simply do not want to face up to the realities of the situation.

We are like a nation of junkies desperate for the next fix and don’t care where it comes from, and in complete denial about how bad things have become or will become.

You asked for my opinion, there it is...

As another poster pointed out, "flash mobs" are already becoming common. And if the anointed one loses I would not be surprised at violent protests In November 2012 against the "racists" who denied the messiah another term.
