Republicans are missing the big picture.
Say they do win the Senate and the House. They will probably also win a majority of Governorships. And state legislator slots.
Look at how far right wing extreme Tea Baggers have been beating moderate Republican candidates. Can you imagine them working together?
Joe Miller
Sharon Angle
Rand Paul
and others
Some things they've proposed:
Shutting down the government
Ending Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
Outlawing all abortion, even when raped
Ending unemployment benefits
Ending all corporate taxes
Deregulating Wall Street
Deregulating the EPA and OSHA even more
Can you imagine main stream Republicans working with these crackpots? What kind of legislation they most likely want to push?
At first, I was thinking about the disaster the Republicans brought for 8 years under Bush, but with real far right extremists actually IN congress, the entertainment possibilities are endless.
And as far as governors. For example, look at Carly (oh that hair is SO last year) Fiorina. As chief of Hewlett Packard, she fired 18 THOUSAND workers and moved those jobs to China. Everything she touched was a disaster. The day she was forced out, the companies stock went up 7%. Imagine the possibilities as Governor of California. Couldn't ya just die?
So some may see this as "disaster" for the Democratic Party and for the Country, but I think the situation may be "fraught" with humor.
I'm not going to post quotes from the extreme Tea Baggers. If people want to know, they will go look them up. The newly FAR right is so extreme, no one would believe me anyway.
I suspect the "war" isn't going to be between Democrats and Republicans, but between Republican moderates and the extreme far right. Can't wait. I almost want them to win.
