I Can't Wait for 2012

While the Mainstream Media continues to explain away the voter's 2010 thumping of  democrats across the country, the news just keeps getting better for conservatives. Forget the 61+ seat pick up in the house of representatives and the 6 seat pick up in the Senate.  While these wins give the republicans the power needed to curtail Obama's socialist agenda, the real story is the gains made by republicans in the state elections where they now have majorities in governor's mansions and state legislatures.  It is these majorities that will return control of congress for years to come.

But wait, there is more!  Harry Reid, the gift that keeps on giving, won reelection in the Nevada Senate race, so we have another 2 years of his weak leadership of the Democrats and six years of habitual speaking gaffes.  And better yet, Nancy Pelosi has decided to run for house minority leader.  As one republican replied, "I approve!"  In 2012, republicans everywhere will still be able to unveil effective ad campaigns that tie their opponent to Queen Nancy. 

Next consider the surviving democratic congress people are more liberal than those who lost in 2010.  The 2012 choices will be between a more conservative republican party and a more liberal democrat party.  For a center-right country, the choice will be far more clear and decision more conservative.

Finally, just listen to Nancy, Harry and Barrack.  To day, it is apparent they have no clue what happened last Tuesday.  Barrack thinks the vote was simply displeasure with the economy, which is only partially true.  He still believes that his health care law will eventually be seen as a good thing and will garner support.  He must have missed the fact that so many congress folk that support the bill are no longer employed.  He must not think that runaway deficit spending or the multiple broken campaign promises were further reasons to send a clear message.  Oh well, I hope they never get it.

The republicans need to do only 2 things in the next 2 years to assure themselves of full control of the house, senate and white house.  Number 1, they need to deliver a bill to Obama's desk that extends or makes permanent the Bush tax cuts.  Failure to do so is equivalent to a tax increase.  It matters not whether Obama signs the bill.  Just give him the chance.  The party who loses this fight is either the republicans for not sending a bill to the white house, or the democrats if Obama veto's it.

Number 2 is to provide a national health care alternative.  Again, it doesn't matter if it is passed by both houses and sent to the white house for an immediate veto.  All that matters is that a bill is passed in the house and sent to the senate where the democratic majority will kill it.  That bill should not only resend aspects of the current bill, but should also include the republican ideas (torte reform, medical savings accounts, competition, etc.) that were ignored by the democratic freight train.

If the republicans do these two things they will control the federal government for years to come.  I am jazzed.
