That is why Obama is already starting his amnesty BS now. Get it done while he has control over the congress and senate....slip this through and it is done.

Personally I think the republicans are done. The dems will buy up enough votes to hold the office right where they have it.

It's all about the power. If you think for one minute Obama and Pelosi, Reid, Frank care about you, you are sadly mistaken. It's about POWER!
If you voted for Bush/Cheney, I'm wondering if you see the irony of your concerns about "POWER."

Yeah..McCain and Palin could of continued the Bush policies...ohh that's right, your new lord is continuing most of them, nevermind.
And how is reversing Bushies Policy on Stem Cell Research, Closing down Gitmo, Putting in motion a policy to remove all combat troops out of Bushes open ended war, Taking away federal land from big oil in pristine wildlife ecosystems, the same? I see a stark difference...

2016? the dems are going to lose seats in 2010. Obama is showing his true colors in the handling of the taliban, Iran, somalia pirates. He has shown himself to be overwhelmed. He keeps spending and you are going to see a shift at the elections next year.

really??? so it has nothing to do with big gov't spending that even those on the right didn't support under Bush? Tarp and stimulus packages that just increase gov't control? But I guess tripling the national debt is no big deal. We'll just tax the rich to pay for it all.

See the "Tea Parties" are like frat parties for middle-aged Repubs who are disillusioned and disgruntled by their lose of "privilege" in a changing America.

They are going to rant and rage about the failures of the GW presidency and then blame it on Obama.

I didn't vote for Bush. I'm actually independent. I vote for who will do the least amount of damage to the country.

So all parties who are fed up are taking a stand to take America back. That's my explanation but I am sure you will see liberals saying it is a KKK meeting for people filled with hate. Just consider the source.
That makes sense. Though even if spending is halted or cut taxes will still need to be raised in certain areas to pay off the enormous debt that has been accumulated in the past 30-40 years.

you mean, like actual bipartisan leadership? Instead of a far left agenda that even some dem's can't support.
