I'm serious. I don't know what their platform is, or what they have planned besides the normal, "stop the President" stuff.
I assume there will be more subponeas, that will waste more tax payer money. They certainly won't get past 59 seats in the Senate, so the dems will certainly filibuster any effort to defund or repeal Obamacare.
Of course the same thing could be said if dems take control. Its obvious that neither party has much interest in working across the aisle to help the nation.
I think there is more of a chance Obama becomes more compromising if the GOP wins the senate.
He will have to start using vetoes and Republicans then may move to the middle to get something passed - and then Obama move to the middle too.
In my view, both parties these days for the most part are just a different side of the same coin. Little to nothing will get done, pretty much what we have now. I think that's actually a good thing as what's good/right for the people and the country seems to have been pushed far back in the queue for some time now. Though I think the odds may go up for hearings, investigations, perhaps even talk of impeachment if the Rep's gain control of the Senate which seems almost a given based on all the polling I've read.
A founding father, John Adams, warned us about the situation we are in now yet most of the sheep seem to be asleep in this country to it all:
"There is Nothing I dread more then a division of the Republic into two great parties, each arranged under its own leadership and converting measures in opposition of each other. This in my humble opinion is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our constitution."

Adams was also a one term President, and not a very good one at that. Adams was a staunch federalist who kept Washington's cabinet, and then refused to work with them - particularly his Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, who Adams beat in 1796 by just 3 Electoral College votes.
Furthermore, the quote you cited comes from a letter Adams wrote to Jonathan Jackson on October 2, 1780. Three years before the Revolutionary War ended, seven years before the US Constitution was even drafted, and nine years before the US existed.

They will also talk about welfare problems, emigration problems, and US government agencies spying on Americans (but they will put forth no legislation to solve those problems.)
Then their corporate tax cuts will decrease our governments tax revenues, and their corporate subsidies will increase government spending (and then our deficits and national debt growth will shoot through the roof, just like it did with Reagan and GW Bush.) http://www.skymachines.com/US-Nation...ental-Term.htm
Or the short answer, "their platform is to give the rich tax cuts and grow our national debt."
