Wacky stuff like this?
So why are you bringing Bush into this?

Beyond that, the Republicans have a built-in advantage in the House due to their dominance in the latest round of redistricting, which was largely undertaken by state legislators and governors elected in the 2010 Republican wave.

That said, the GOP could very well win fewer House seats than it currently holds, cutting into its majority even more. And the shutdown certainly isn't helping its hopes to win the six seats it will need to capture the Senate.

Why shouldn't I bring the last two administrations into this? Is this not what the thread is discussing?

You know, I never understood the pride in being an extreme partisan. Could you explain it to me?

The Tea Party and Libertarianism are two different things. Some things might overlap, but they are definitely not synonymous.

I'm always amused by the paranoia about conservatives/Republicans/anything sensible. The threads are hilarious, one right after another, bam, bam, bam.

I can't imagine being that obsessed.

So you think the OP is any one of those?
