What were the problems when the R's controlled congress from 94 to 06? Also, R's controlled congress from 00-06. Dems controlled it for 4 years, 06-10, not two.
If the repubs win, they will share the blame for whats going on. After Six years of complete control we have nothing to show for it and they want another crack at it.
Seems like the only important thing is to win, but when you win THEN you must have a plan or be blamed for the same economy we have today. Will the repubs change it? Just look at the economy and you tell me. 6 beats 2 every time, except in a dice game.
First off repeal Obamacare, secondly make the Bush tax cuts permanent, third cut down the size of government especially zeroing out all the czars, fourth secure our southern border these things are just for starters.

How? Are you seriously dumb enough to think President Obama will sign a repeal of his signature law?
Same goes for all of those. Obama isn't gonna turn into a hard-core conservative just because you guys get the majority.
I predict little to no results on anything, if the Republicans get the majority. They weren't willing to work with Dems before, why would they if they get the majority? Their sole mission is to see Obama fail.
The goal is not Obama failing, but the US surviving.

Wrong! The stated goal was for Obama to fail. There was no stated goals by the R's on how to fix the myriad problems facing our country. This is true today, the R's have only one goal, returning to power.
If they do, they will face a battle from both the left and far right - it will be very interesting.
What will Repubs Do if they win in November?
If the repubs win, they will share the blame for whats going on. After Six years of complete control we have nothing to show for it and they want another crack at it.

I appreciate this, a seminal OP...
An excellent question, and one foremost on the minds of conservatives...rather than Republicans.
And explored in the speech of Professor Paul Rahe, which begins as follows:
"Conservatism in America is now at a nadir. What would happen if it were to recover? What if the friends of limited government were to make a dramatic comeback, as they did in 1938, 1946, 1966, and 1994? In January [2009], this would have seemed a pipe dream.
Now, however, as the Obama administration flounders and the Presidents negatives rise, the Republicans ride higher in the polls, Democratic senators from toss-up states begin to display anxiety, and citizens of all political stripes stage Tea Parties across the nation, such a scenario seems conceivable. But if this were to happen, would the advocates of limited government be ready to rule?
Thus far, they have been tactically adept, and we can foresee the possibility that they will stick to their guns and refuse to become what they were before 1980: tax-collectors for a swollen welfare state. This is, however, the easy part, and there is no sign yet that anyone has given serious thought to developing a coherent program for governance. "

This sounds much like my thinking. I don't expect much 'change' even if the best turnover estimates come true. However, I'll be looking at the voting records of the newly elected. Are they fighting both entrenched parties? If so, re-elect. If not, they are the same as those whom they replaced.
What's much more important is on the state level. Who's newly elected state-wide? New governor? What are they doing? That's where real change happens.
2012 is the date to watch, if the tea party folks keep an eye on these folks.

Wrong!
The Republican Party kept control of both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate until 2007. The Democratic Party wrested control of both houses of the 110th Congress, although by a very slim margin, especially in the Senate.
The composition of the 109th Congress (2005 - 2007) was as follows:
Senate: 44 D, 55 R House: 202 D, 231 R
The composition of the 110th Congress (2007 - ) is as follows:
Senate: 49 D, 49 R House: 233 D, 198 R

And they won't get the 2/3rds to over-ride Obama's veto on the health-insurance law repeal. I think any repeal, if at all, would be done in pieces through the courts.
Maybe Obama will sign the extension for all brackets into law, maybe not. Congressional Democrats aren't know for having a spine, so enough of them may capitulate to Republicans on that categorical extension that it would exclude a Presidential veto.
It will be interesting to see how the party of fiscal responsibility will reconcile tax cuts with securing the Southern border, which won't be free or cheap.
Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.

If they win close to the projections, it will be interesting to watch what happens. I do not expect Obama to make any consessions, regardless of the myth of his attempts to reach across, no evidence of that, since he said, 'shut up and sit down, we won.' within moments of being inaugurated. He's not an accommodator. He's a true believer.
Obama is going to take it right up the ass and we all get to watch.
His arrogant attitude during the health care debate will not be forgotten. As he said in his own words........."that is what elections are for". This should be a "teachable moment" for the "lecturer in grief".
Although I would love to see a change in the guard and some political checks and balances in regards to the legislative and executive branches, I will not be getting my hopes up the day after the election. The R's have to earn their trust with me again, especially after their last go around.
But even if they do get a majority in either house, I don't see either side, and especially the prez, making any compromises. It will be gridlock.

If that is the worse example you have on him of not being open to compromise. That's not proof of anything that has to do with compromise. Actions speak louder than words and he included them in the healthcare bill, then they run to the mics and say "we werent included". Include them in the Stimulus and they run to the mics and say "we werent included" It's old...
