Starbreaker Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Well well, 2010 is right around the corner, which means midterm elections are coming up. How do you think the Republicans or Democrats will fare in the upcoming election cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hmm.. judging by Americans' notoriously short memories, I'd say the Republicans will win back alot of seats..unless Bin Laden is killed, the economy suddenly booms or the unemployment rate falls back below 5%. Obama promised the world..and we've seen little so far. That was the gamble he took and will most likely cost the slack-jawed Democrats their precious seats. But it's ok, the Republicans don't have any solutions either. Remember, they're conservatives, not Republicans..ie..(socially conservative, fiscally liberal.) = More debates about stupid abortion/gay marriage crap and spend..spend..spend.

Starbreaker Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good points. However, I still think that after this election cycle that the Democrats will still be in control of both houses of Congress, but won't have majorities in either as big as they have now. I'm not so sure about the long-term health of the GOP though. The far-right is steering the party the complete opposite direction of where they need to be, which has created a schism between the far-right and the moderates. If the GOP doesn't take the middle ground, then they are not going to regain the majorities in Congress that they had in the 1990's and earlier this decade. We could very well see the formation of a third party if the far-right alienates all the moderates within the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The third party will be the Libertarian Party... Let the Liberation for Liberty begin! (As the ending music to Braveheart sounds...god damn ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbreaker Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Or the chorus of Peace Sells by Megadeth: "If there's a new way. I'll be the first in line. But it better work this time." Great song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstickbonzo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Megadeath is for pansies... I prefer Lemmie and Motorhead anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starbreaker Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm not really a fan of Megadeth, but Peace Sells is one awesome song. When I run for President in 2028, I'm going to use it as my campaign song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
