So with all this "mandate" you know what they're going to do with it right? Fucking NOTHING. Which I suppose is better than advancing Obama's agenda, but unless they get off their asses and DO something, this will virtually guarantee an Obama re-election.

It's going to be hard to get anything passed with Zero in the WH. They will not get a veto-proof majority. After 2012 could be a different story. Regardless, maybe the headlong rush to destruction will reduced to a crawl for the time being. |

They can start by denying funding for bloated projects and socialist programs. Even if they can't pass veto-proof legislation they can at least cut the purse strings.
My fear is it will be business as usual. That is because John Boehner, in response to a specific question concerning ending earmarks, said "If we take over, it will not be business-as-usual." Asked again if he would end earmarks he replied, "it will not be business as usual." Whenever a politician falls back to that old saw, it invariably means it will be business as usual. |

I've seen nothing in 'leadership' of the GOP that gives me confidence. They've articulated no clear agenda, will not have a majority in the Senate, have no budget to work with for spending projects and will face an extremely hostile, volatile leftist coalition hell bent on creating chaos and further dividing America along racial and social class lines. Clearly, their mandate is to roll back the kenyan's take over of health care and restore tax cuts vital to economic expansion and development. But the deficits created by the Democrats are a black hole sucking American prosperity and vitality in like it was water mist through a jumbo jet turbo fan. Their only hope to survive beyond 2012 is a dynamic economic recovery plan not based on spending but on fiscal sanity and realistic legislation that will control deficits... and then they'll have to persuade the rest of America to follow! God Speed America. God Save The Republic. |

This election should get ugly pretty fast. Even the dems don't like each other. I wonder why?
What's the American Urban Radio Network? PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The three opponents of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio criticized him in a televised debate Tuesday for saying President Barack Obama can "shove it," with one calling him a "knucklehead" and another saying he acted like a "petulant little child." These guys pretty much got it right. The debate, co-sponsored by WPRI-TV and The Providence Journal, was the first for the candidates since Caprio said Monday that Obama could "take his endorsement and really shove it" after he learned the president wouldn't endorse anyone in the race. They should have personally thanked him for withholding the political kiss of death. Obama, during an interview Tuesday with American Urban Radio Networks, said he understood Caprio was upset and downplayed Caprio's comments, calling them "not a big deal. The White House has said the endorsement decision was made out of respect to Caprio's independent opponent, former Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who made a high-profile endorsement of Obama before Rhode Island's 2008 Democratic primary. Caprio, the state's general treasurer, endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton. |

They can also make modifications to the healthcare bill to be more palatable, because otherwise, a repeal is not feasible with Obama as President. |
