They control the house. That's it. Can't make but so many changes. Even if they push legislation through the house it can be struck down by the Democrat controlled Senate.

Interesting, you are telling us it takes two years to see progress from damage caused by former politicians? Why wasn't that time frame courtesy given to the Democrats?

Are the Republicans/Conservatives/Tea partiers already making excuses?

They are going to continue to sabotage our country deliberately keeping our federal govt mired in gridlock in precarious economic conditions for the sole purpose of ousting Barack Obama in 2012.

Its crystal clear that its more important for them to defeat Barack Obama than it is to fix the economy.

By now, we should know that the GOP is not interested in what's best for America, only what's best for their party-and that is so incredibly evil but their rank and file sheep are too blind to realize it.

If they are unscrupulous enough to LIE in order to send thousands of soldiers to die in Iraq just to advance their party, then there is no limit to how low they will sink. Our freedoms, our constitution, our trust, our families, even our blood-we're nothing more than pawns in their sick game.

The funniest part of my comment is that Im not really a fan of Democrats either, but you look at how wicked the GOP has become and one has no choice but to cling to the BLUE side.

Exactly pal. I am the type of person who admits both sides suck. Both have idiots. Only difference is that the Republicans are more idiotic and suck even more. LOL

I vote Democrat strictly because they are "lesser of the evils".

Uh, up until now dems held the executive branch and controlled the house and senate. Yesterday was a big win for R's, but we still don't have enough power to right the ship. Right now, we can put the brakes on Obama-Pelosi-Reid debacle, and then when we win the senate and the presidency in 2012, real healing can begin. If we had control of the house, senate, and the executive branch, we could begin right now. Alas, we can wait this out while preventing Obama from further damaging our country.

But, you knew all that already.

HA! Please try. Seriously, do it and while you're at it make sure you shut down the government. We'll see what that does for you in 2012.

Whining? Please. I am just stating that I give you all until May to fix it. Just like you gave Obama.

But if it makes your leg all tingly, then feel free to think what you think.
