Hello again, Go Seadogs! Ok, never mind... Looks to me, like the Republican congress is bent on vengeance rather than governing... Rep. Darrell Issa said he's going to have 7 hearings a week times 40 weeks. Ain't no time for governing there.. It's going to be even worse than their incessant attack on Clinton... Hold on... The Republicans are missing the boat. They think they won because the public LIKED them.. Uhhh, no. They just hated the Democrats worse... How come they don't get this? Do any of you here get this? excon |

I mentioned earlier that redistricting would come into play with all the Republican gains in state elections, take a look at this:
Of all the stories of the great Republican wave election of 2010, one of the stories that didn’t get wide play is just how dominant the GOP was in state elections. Republicans claimed a record 680 state legislative seats around the country, 52 more than the old record, set by Democrats in 1974 and 208 more than they picked up in the 1994 Gingrich Revolution. The right now controls both chambers of 26 state legislatures.
And the hits just keep coming. In the past couple of weeks, at least 11 Democratic state legislators have switched sides — one in South Dakota, one in Maine, one in Louisiana, two in Georgia, and four in Alabama. In Louisiana, the switch gives Republicans control of one house of the government for the first time since Reconstruction; in Alabama, the Republicans control both houses for the first time since 1874. |

The other reason is that with all the big talk, the newly elected Republicans will come up against the WALL known as, "the way we do things around here". And, the way "we do things around here", is NOT to upset the applecart... Let's take earmarks. This is the FIRST fight Republicans are going to have with themselves, and they're losing right off. SOME Republicans WANT to keep on giving themselves earmarks. And, by golly and by gum, they're going to continue to do so too, no matter WHAT the electorate said... So, since I don't believe a thing will change in Washington, the Republicans will be discarded along with Sarah Palin in 12. excon |

Ex correct. The new Republicans will be met with resistance by the establishment Republicans. How they do in that battle will decide the fate of the Party. If the GOP plans on being a relevant party into this century they'd best heed the demands of the new guard. |

Corporate America just had its BEST quarter in 60 years. Corporate America is mostly owned by the richest of the rich. They just made zillions more this last quarter than they EVER have. But THAT didn't create any jobs. Plus, the majority of Americans oppose giving the rich another tax break... Yet, the Democrats will cave, cause they want to act more Republican like.. Gaggg! excon |
