He said if this thing plays out right, we could pick up 30 to 40 seats,"

What happens when the government goes from trying to protect civil rights, secure the borders, and so forth, to trying to play a game against other members of government. Government isn't a game - or is it?

No, but politics is.

The Democrats gained eight Senate seats in the elections of 1930. I believe they also had substantial gains in the House, although I'm not sure of the number. They then proceeded to use their strengthened position in the Congress to pursue obstructionist tactics in 1931-2, in the hopes, eventually realized, that the result would be the election of a Democratic president.

To Democrats it is blood sport. Game written very large.

Democrats would prefer George Bush out of power to Saddam Hussein out of power. Indeed, if the Democrats were given a choice between a million (or even 10 million, or even 100 million) American lives and total control of government or saving the lives and being out of power -- get out the coffins, the RATS would trade your life, the lives of your family, friends and millions and millions of fellow countrymen to retake power.

I don't exaggerate. They are that obsessed...and that evil.
