If they do it again in 012, all hell will break out in 016. The way things are going Obama's socialistic policies are going to make things worse. Even if a Repubs RINO boots out Obama, the spending and deficit will go out of sight and little recovery will take place. The Tea Party will dwarf the D & R in the next few years if those DC critters do not get their act together in bringing back jobs and reducing debt. If you think people are angry now, just wait till all those new taxes kick in to pay for the spending spree Congress and the WH has been on.
I made a prediction last night, I pray to God never comes true.
First element; all of these predictions for jaw-dropping Republican gains in the mid-term election? Ain't gonna happen. The Progressive Republicans are far too wedded to their assertion that the "era of Reagan is over". They'll continue to back the likes of Crist over conservative "throwbacks" like Rubio right up to, and maybe even beyond the point that Crist is irretreivably losing, and he pulls his Bennedict Arlen imitation. Crap like that will not demonstrate the trustworthiness that conservatives need to see in order to come out for the Republicans. Ergo, turnout in November will be low, low, low. And as a result, the Dim'Rats will still be in firm control of both the house and senate November 6th.
Now, if the Republican Party can take a drubbing like that and still avoid their "Come to Jesus" moment by fronting another Progressive RINO as the Republican candidate for the '12 election - Romney, Huckabee, Pawlenty, etc; it makes no difference which of the squishy ones gets the nod - they will be DEAD as an organization by 2016. They will assume third party status, following in the footsteps of the Whigs before them.
