The outcome of the midterms and 2012?

[Derek]

Part of me hopes that we win 215 in the House and 50 in the senate but I have a feeling that we'll get about 240 in the House and 52 or 53 in the senate. Obama is too stubborn to think it could have anything to do with him though and he'll repeat his mistakes.

[Derek]

I think the GOP is too established to do as poorly this time around.

[Derek]

If the GOP does particularly well in the midterms, it's pretty clear that the Dems need to follow their example and make up as many false smears as possible. It doesn't really matter how plausible they are. Death panels. Government takeovers. Socialism. Etc. We need to formulate our equivalents.

Spoken like a true democrat. Way to be and at least you're honest.

It's also spoken like a true republican...

We tried bi-partisan politics.  It didn't work, we rebounded, we got our bills passed anyways.

If the Republicans win back anything (which is intensely unlikely according to the polls), they deserve a taste of their own medicine.

2 wrongs make a right? How bout doing what's best for the country?

What are you talking about,

Most major and reputable polls show the Republicans favored.

To gain a few senate seats, and a handfull of house seats yes. But 1994 this is not.

Oh they said the same thing in 1994 and tried to explain it by saying the voters were throwing a tantrum rather than saying that the voters actually agreed with the GOP. The GOP has a good 50/50 chance at winning back the senate and will likely win the house if more people vote GOP than democrat. The math isn't hard to do.

I was talking winning back either the House or Senate, which only political hacks believe they will do.

No it's not just hacks. It's only out of touch democrats who think they have a lock on either house.

You already do. "The Republicans healthcare plan is don't get sick... and if you do get sick, die quickly."

Really, outside healthcare (a very divisive issue) Republicans have been no worse than Democrats were in the Bush years.

I think Obama is heading for the 20's this time next year. He is far too stubborn and out of touch to move to the right. It seems like HOPE is being lost haahaha. What does hope do anyhow? I've always wondered that. I don't like to hope I like to ACT.

Did Republicans do what is best for the country?  If Republicans get control, the first thing Democrats should do is organize a filibuster in the Senate to anything they try to pass.  These Republicans need to be taught that what they have done for the past two years will not go unpunished.

Not go unpunished? Spoken like a true democrat. Do it because then America will be even more fed up with you.
