"All Roberts did was to recognize the Congress has the power to tax. His comments are just dicta. There were NOT fives votes to expand the scope of the commerce clause."
No.
Au contraire!
"They'll be voted out of office at the first chance, and such foolery will be repealed."
Nancy Pelosi wasn't. Harry Reid wasn't. Chuck Rangel wasn't. Chuck Schumer wasn't.
Pelosi is probably in one of the safest seats in the country. Reid won a questionable election against a weak nominee. Rangel may not keep it.(1) Chuck U Schumer may well wear out his welcome. Both CA and NY have had surprising upsets, e.g Gray Davis was recalled; James Buckley replaced Charles Goodell in 1970; D'Amato replaced Javits in 1980; Giuliani replaced Dinkins in 1993; Pataki replaced Mario Cuomo in 1994.
This is the leadership when the next radical band of lefties take over.
They'll probably be dead or in nursing homes,IMHO. You have no idea how badly they have screwed themselves. Current polls do not reflect the reluctance of those polled to admit that that they oppose Obama's policies. They don't want to appear racist, even though those polled are appalled at his policies.
"The Tea Party isn't going away."
Sooner or later, the left is going to win again. And when they do, they're going to build on top of what Obama has done.
There is nothing to stop them.
The interest on %15 trillion of debt will not permit bribes as usual to the factions among the rats any more. Conservatives will make common cause with independents and libertarians for fiscal conservatism, IMHO because we are borrowing over 40 cents for every dollar being spent.
You're ignoring the erosion in his base with blacks(2) and working class whites(3), especially for his attacks on the coal industry and blocking development of oil and natural gas. When was the last time the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee told members of Congress not to attend the Democratic National Convention?(4). Political advertisements about Fast and Furious will be fast and furious in the southwest and battleground states. That will depress Latino turnout.(5).
I wonder if the Jacksonian Democrats can remain a viable member of the rats' coalition(6).
I could go on. Obama's de facto amnest for illegal aliens. Reverse discrimination now extended to Orientals. Suffice it to say that the GOP got sixty percent of the white vote in 2010 for the first time in history. There's no reason to expect it to decrease in the future if the GOP has some gonads and common sense.(7)

And when I hit the powerball tonight, I won’t have to worry about any of this.
So it’s going to be okay see. :)
Good, thoughtful and increasingly rare analysis. We cannot be like petulant children where every shift in the wind discourages us. This is going to be a long, multi-generational fight.
If we can undo the government school complex most of liberalism will unravel of its own weight. The debt will do the rest.
