one can HOPEOriginally posted by DaShi View PostI fully expect the GOP to do well this election cycle. Will that translate into progress in the capitol? Probably not.
At least it will provide some happy gridlock for half-baked liberal wishlists.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Some of the other good things that can come from a successful Republican backlash, is that we may see an increase in corporate welfare, a major setback to civil rights, increase in poverty and in gap between wealthy and poor, and an increase in big brother.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

3 out of 4 of those are the hallmark of Obama's short reign. And the jury is still out on the 4th.Originally posted by MrFun View PostSome of the other good things that can come from a successful Republican backlash, is that we may see an increase in corporate welfare, a major setback to civil rights, increase in poverty and in gap between wealthy and poor, and an increase in big brother.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

I am reminded of the prediction "If you vote for McCain you can expect an increase in corporate welfare, a major setback to civil rights, increase in poverty and in the gap between the wealthy and poor, and an increase in big brother."Originally posted by MrFun View PostSome of the other good things that can come from a successful Republican backlash, is that we may see an increase in corporate welfare, a major setback to civil rights, increase in poverty and in gap between wealthy and poor, and an increase in big brother.
And they were right.

Hmm, it wasn't a cross-post. It was the only possible response to what you spewed.
If you look at Obama's record. I think he can take credit for the largest corporate payouts in history. He didn't do what he promised on the military's "don't ask don't tell" or anything for gay unions. The gap between the poor and the rich has increased during his reign. Big brother doesn't look like it's gone away, but I'll reserve my judgement on whether Obama can take any blame there.
So how has Obama helped you in any of those categories?It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

The next two years will be great for TV comics.
I fully expect the wingnuts who will take over the House to shut down the Federal government at least once. I wonder if they have enough pull to refuse to hike the debt limit? Probably not, as their corporate masters would freak. And we can all look forward to endless investigations of the administration, while key Federal positions continue to sit empty.
