Nah, fear not. For the past 8 years, we have a republican president and democrat congress. Where did that get us? Another example is CA, They have a republican governor and democrat representatives. Look where they are now. A one party system will expedite things.
You seem a little uneducated about your information here.
Could you just do a google search because you're either uninformed and shouldn't be making statements that you can't back up, or you are lying.
The fact that this Country is on Life-Support and people are actually SCARED of going the opposite way that put us there (Bush), is amazingly astounding to me!
Its like a person dying of lung cancer picking up another cigarette.
It makes absolutely no sense!
Your post captures it all really. Death is preferable to many people (in various forms)than change.
I can't WAIT for a liberal supermajority. Having had to live with a conservative supermajority for the last few years, it's about time I'm going to be represented. It's going to be great!
What conservative "supermajority"? The last couple of years the Dems have had control of BOTH houses of Congress. And...since the Dems took over, the country has taken a turn for the worse. For example: what have they done to prevent the economic crash...nothing! They take over Congress, then a few years later when things go bad, they blame the Republicans. If Obama gets elected, the Dems continue to run Congress, and things continue to get worse, who then will you blame?
Well, if the "conservatives" had actually been conservatives and kept spending in check while actually protecting the economy rather than their special interests we wouldn't be in this situation, now would we? Turns out people prefer tax-and-spend to borrow-and-spend.
I'm not a Democrat, but good riddance to these clown poseurs pretending to be conservatives just because they can rail about abortion and claim Jesus. They don't represent me. To hell with them. I hope they're selling insurance a year from now. Then either some others learn from their mistakes and revive the GOP, or they don't and the party's dead. Their call.

Nancy and Harry certainly did everything in their power to bend over backwards thwarting the evil Republican minority the past two years, eh?
Face it, they're just as bad if not worse. Get rid of those two and you might have a chance to see your hopes come to fruition.

Excuse me? The Dems gained control on Congress 2 years ago. From 1994-2006 Congress was in Repub hands. Ever since Newt and his crew came in.
I'm very liberal (and proud to say liberal); however, I recognize not everyone is. Even so, I think its time to take the country about two clicks to the left, as IMHO, we, as a country under Bush/Cheney, have moved way to the right. Moving a little back to the left will get us far closer to center, and if it takes a couple years of super majority, so be it. In general, I'd rather have different parties control Congress and the White House, but we need to come back toward center.
Well, 1995-2006. 1994 was when the election happened, just like 2006, when the subprime mess started in earnest before the midterm election on which the Dems took their lead in Congress.
Let's see we've had a conservative super majority for 6 of the last 8 years and 4000+ young American's dead as a result of lies, a $559 billion surplus transformed into trillions of dollars of debt, the collapse of the financial markets, 3 quarters of job losses, and two mismanaged wars... and you have the temerity to warn anybody about liberals? GFOH!

Sounds like you don't believe in your party 100%. If you are very liberal, why the center?
