My major fear is that if the Republicans gain a majority in one or both houses of Congress, they will stall even more hoping it'll lead them to the Presidency in 2012. Hope I'm wrong!
Why, obama and the dems are doing such a fine job of destroying the economy, a little stalling/getting nothing done is a GOOD thing.
When congress is gridlocked, they are less likely to intrude in our lives.
What? You want them to pass even more disastrous, unpopular legislation?
How can open talk out of one side of his piehole, claiming to be the most successful president evah, and then in the next breath spew out of the other side of his piehole that the republicans are obstructing his agenda?

I suppose it should come as no surprise. The Republicans are rooting against the American economy and American workers. They believe that they will do better politically in the 2010 midterm elections -- and the 2012 presidential -- if the economy does worse. And for the last twenty months they have done everything they can to assure that outcome.

Maybe it's best if the government stays out of the "fixing the economy business". They don't have a very good record.
Anybody can explain that post, and it goes as follows: Obama spends, and spends, and spends, and there is no end in sight. Over $3-trillion in one year alone

Insanity at its best.
The democratic congress destroyed the economy, not because they "wanted to get a dem elected in 2008, but because they are incompetent and create job killing policy.
Likewise, the republican congress under Clinton restored the economy and made him look good.
The new republican congress will restore SOME fiscal sanity, but I doubt ANYONE has the will to institute the austerity measures that will be needed to clean up Obama's fiscal disaster, regardless of party.

Sounds good to me. After all what did the Democrats do when they took over Congress under Bush? They paved the road to the White House for the Democrats with their ineptness for governing. Thank God they kept on course and the public will reward them for that ineptness come November.
There never was a economic recovery and there won't be one either without a significant deflationary depression or a new monetary system. Switching parties in congress just means gridlock and austerity and the next leg down in the current great depression. 2011 looks to be very interesting.
Wrong! Switching parties in Congress means that a lot of BO's bull**it agenda will be stopped. If by some miracle we can elect a 2/3rds majority of Republicans in both houses, we can then go to work in rescinding all the bull**it crap that has been passed which has destroyed our economy starting with the Democrats taking charge in 2006.
I am praying that we can get our politics out of the hands of the destroyers and put our America back on track as our Founding Fathers had the foresight to create.

Actually, you are wrong too. Both parties suck and will continue to destroy the country. They are both bought off so it makes absolutely no difference who takes in congress.

I disagree. Having a partisan President of one party and a partisan Congress of the other party would be the best thing we could hope for, short of the US voter waking up and taking back their country that is.
