My hubby works for Eli Lilly and the co has fought and fought socialized medicine. I’m not sure where the stance is on Byah as we are in Indianapolis. But I know that Lilly is heavily lobbying against Obama care.

“I want the Dems to hold the majority in both the House and Senate but with neutered margins.
Two reasons why winning the majority in the house is important:

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Former Chairman Barney Frank.”

I hear you ... I really do ... but I can wait for 2012 that to happen. With this idiot megalomaniac as President, having a Goldstein on hand is essential to maintain some form of credibility (if you forgive Orwell’s 1984 parlance).

Right now that “Goldstein” is George W. Bush. That nonsense won’t last much longer and a new scapegoat is needed. If the Republicans control either the House or Senate during the final two years of Obama’s term, all blame will be shifted there in the likely event of failure. He’ll get credit for all successes as he seeks those (for God’s sake, they are taking credit for restoring Iraq for heaven’s sake).

If we had a fair press/media, things like these would be laughed at, but we don’t. We’ll simply have to beat the idiots in a manner where they find a way to lose by fighting each other.

Seriously, it’s all a “point fingers” and “pass nonsense bills” at this point in DC. I personally think it is the remnants of the late 60s losing control in DC. These people will not go down without a fight. Let the fight remain amongst their selves as winning control of anything in 2010 means that Obama simply has a new entity to bash in an effort to mask his shortcomings. If we’re lucky, the only lasting damage by Obama, politically, will be Sotomayor ... the rest can be fixed if we want to fix it.

Great news. Bayh doesn’t belong with the Democrats anymore he’s not quite a socialist. While crowing about the Republican’s being a conservative regional southern party, the Democrats have gone hard left, ignited a whole fiscal conservative movement with wide-ranging appeal, and forced their own to bail out.

Best thing is Democrats have to find a candidate before Friday - deadline for primary filing is apparently this Friday 19th February. Bayh screwed them good.

I pretty spooked that Bayh may know something about where Obama is heading and it is even worse that where we are heading now. Bayh may know the whole thing is about to implode i.e. The United States.

No the deal was cut for VP with Hillary when he absconded as titular head of the DLC (DUm 'Leadership' Council) in favor of Madame Cankles. This was a deal cut by Billary in '07-'08. If people want to read anything into this, think Hillary. Evan Bayh is further into the Clinton's vest pocket than Al Gore ever was.

In return for Bayh pulling out, he was Hillary's VP. And we all know what happened there -- she got her just desserts when Bobo's cabal of Ernst Rahm, Axelrot, Dingy and $oros pulled the Super Tuesday whammy.

THERE IS NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN EVAN BAYH AND BOBO (to Evan's solitary credit). He'd sooner pilot the ISS back to Earth than be Bobo's VP. As would I.

A GOP senate might delay a lot of the confirmations and defeat the worst of the liberal appointments, but Bammy will get his Supreme Court appointments.

I’d rather have the House than the Senate -— tax bills must originate in the House.

Frankly, I’d like to have the RATS with nominal control in both chambers (like 220-215 in the House and 51-49 in the Senate) but zero operational control.

That said, a tsunami is building, and we better be ready to lead and fight, because it now looks like we may recapture both the House and the Senate.

You can be damned sure that a GOP Congress will enhance, not diminish, the prospects of a 2nd Obama term as president, because the MSM will have its new enemy: the GOP-controlled Congress. 1996 all over again.
