UBinVA Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 With a Democrat Triumvirate and a super majority. Does anyone think this is good besides the lefties? A Pelosi, Reed, Obama lead country scares the hell out me. This country would make such a drastic turn left, it will take 20 years to undo the damage on the supreme court, our military, intelligence services and other socialist policies. If you think Jimmy Carter was bad, just wait, this will be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first look I would say yes.On the other hand they will begin fighting with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 As a registered Dem. I find it disturbing, I believe balance is essential. Not that the difference between the left and right is that wide anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowLinesandArmadillos Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Nope, if it doesn't work, throw the bums out and bring back the otherside or another side! After 6+ years and a GOP Pres. for 8, we should see what and how the other side does it. If this becomes a cluster then it is time to go shopping definitively for another party and you will have the contrast of both against each other and against themselves. There will always be those dissatisfied and those who won't admit failure, but most will recognize it as they finally have with Bush and the GOP. The Dems are now in the put up or shut mode, lets see what happens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Coli Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The new Dems coming up do not have the same lock-step vote characteristics of the GOP, nor do they share those characteristics with the old-guard Dems. I don't think a Dem supermajority will be the nightmare scenario that the desperate and shrill GOP operatives would have you believe. And like Yellowlines said, if they don't perform their constituents will vote them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Any super majority worries me. Congress and the executive on the same side of the aisle see it as a "mandate" to spend. On the expectation that Obama will win, I may vote straight Republican on legislative elections (save Chris van Hollen, who I actually respect as a Congressman), for just that reason alone. And I think voting for ANY Republican legislator would be a first for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I serious think that his coming policies are making the business world hit the panic button. This is what happens when you have big plans to penalize wealth and prosperity with capital gains taxes and increased income taxes in a bad economic environment. If things are supposed to be so rosey with this new President they call "The One", why doesn't the market see it the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinVA Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm quite sure that a Democrat majority, if it comes to be, will be a total disaster and will eventually bring about a new conservative movement ala Ronald Reagan. The only thing that concerns me is at what price. I predict that if the Dems get a super majority the following will occur within the next two to four years: 2 possibly 3 Supreme court justices will retire being replaced by ACLU / left wing type justices. All US attorneys will be fired and replace by Democrats (Clinton did this / Bush did not). All conservative / GOP type personnel in government agencies will be rooted out and replaced. Military budgets for missile defense will be dropped or cut dramatically. Obama's health plan will be replaced by the Kennedy plan of universal health care for all, even the 11-20 million illegals. Bush's tax cuts will be eliminated and replaced by even more taxes and rebates to those who don't even pay taxes. Most free trade agreements will be renegotiated. Obama will pretend to be strong on national defense and talk tough, but behind the scenes, he will be appeasing and weak. The U.N. will have a much larger roll in America's domestic and and international affairs. Small businesses will start to close in record numbers prompting Obama to initial even more government programs to stop the bleeding. Our rights and freedoms as Americans will greatly be diminished through the liberal courts and new legislation . Volunteerism and community run programs will be replaced by larger federal government programs. Radical groups like ACORN and the ACLU will be funded even more and generating even a larger base of democratic support. The larger education systems in urban cities will be taken over by the federal government followed by more control over local schools. The Dems will also eliminate the use of vouches even thou Obama supports them. After this and much more, the American people will be ready for a real change. A change back to reality and basic American principles of self reliance, freedom from government, conservative values, and a basic respect of the individual to be allowed to fail or succeed based on their own merits. The collective welfare of all at the price of a few will be replaced by do unto others as they would do unto you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
