Obamas policies are destroying the fabric of this nation!!! His agenda is a trojan horse for a bigger plan. Its about creating a society of dependents as a way of what he calls leveling the playing field. Its should be about individual freedom, hardwork and innovation. Romney 2012!!!

Does it matter which party has the majority? Today's Senate requires 60 votes on virtually every bill. It's so routine, MSM doesn't even use the phrase "filibuster" anymore.
Here's the trend over time:

I agree it going to be a up hill battle, But with Republican in Control We will see the End of Social Security, Medicare, Wall Street with No controls, The Wealthy getting Richer, The Middle Class sinking, The poor getting poorer, More then likely another War, The end to the EPA who has done more good then bad, The end of Food safety,, The end of the family Farm but the growth of Corporate farms The end to any type of real education, The end of child labor laws, Our coast lines covered in Oil for lack of regulation along with the land, No chance of stopping or slowing global warming, The end of all social programs, WIC, Food Stamps, Unemployment

Who votes for Prince Reid?
Democrats gotta go in 2012. nobama had 2 years with control of both houses, and nothing but debt.
Let's give the GOP a try; WH, Sen, & the House and in 4 years we get nothing again we throw them out and try again.
The key is to keep voting these folks out of office until they remember that it's the people that are in charge, not the lobbyist, or the money, just our votes. We have the power to provide term limits on everyone, but we have to break the party mentality.
