For the Democrats that held their seats after this Tuesday's election - they know that their seats are secure.
For those that lost - they have nothing more to lose.
While the Dems still have the majority in the house, they should ram thru a series of the most Liberal legislation that this country has ever seen. Force it down the Republicans throats - like they did with the Health Care Bill.
They'll be NOTHING that the Republicans can do about it - the Dems will still control the Presidency and Senate for the next 2 years - so the Republicans can't change a thing.
Then what they need to do, like the Republicans did for the past 2 years, is declare all out partisan warfare. Let the Republicans whine all they want - just keep them in their place - which is absolutely impotent. Holding the majority in the house alone is worth squat.
The only reason why the Republicans won in the house is because they politically out manuevered the Democrats shamelessly - and Americans respected them for that - not their ideology.
If the Democrats are willing to go head to head with the Republicans in a 2 years long pissing contest and WIN - they'll regain the house and retain the Presidency and the Senate.
If they wimp out and give in to the Republicans - it's all over for them in the next elections.
Politics in America is not about politics - it's about respect. Americans love a winner.
