Do Republicans Want to Win a House Majority in 2010?

For what, Power?. We should be working together for a better America not who can be the most Powerful.
Our house is getting more and more divided and some of that could be as foolish as our president looks a bit different than us. Of course all other presidents who tried to do what President Obama Tried and partially succeeded in also had a hard time and most did not succeed.
Are we still in the gold rush days? or do we still have the cave man mentality?. We have automation that is putting people out of work and instead of creating more jobs or cutting working hours and raising salaries Big business and corporations allow people to collect our taxes in the form of unemployment, Other Government programs and if all else fails we just throw them out on the streets "it is just good business" But is it good for our society?.
How much of America has to be out of a job before we wise up?. How much of this planet are we going to wipe out before we do something about it?.
I believe in individuality, However in our individuality, We still need to live together without the need to control others Because as long as we control one another we will resist one another and our house will be divided and will only stand for a little while longer.

Let me ask you this question - if you expected a slide back into a deflationary Depression in 2011 or 2012, would you want the responsibility to govern? On the other side, I'm sure Barack The Magnificent wouldn't mind having a Republican Congress, so he could blame the inevitable double dip on their budget cuts, and really clean up during his reelection campaign. This in a nutshell is the whole undercurrent behind any Republican trepidation about winning a house of Congress. If you think that the economic recovery is real, you want to take the House. If you don't believe the recovery, they you don't. Conservatives are by their very nature more pessimistic than liberals, and are less likely to believe that the recovery is real. And the economics of deflationary depressions inherently favors Socialist parties. The greatest Republican fear is falling into a trap, where they take the House in 2010, and then get destroyed in 2012.

Yes. RINOs are going to experience from the people Obama's classic response. The people are looking to "see whose ass to kick". (geesh, I can't believe I am quoting a sitting US President)
Democrats are going to be hung no doubt. We need to completely clean house and senate. The president is already on a suicide mission based on what I see. You have to actually work hard to be as stupid as this guy.
Who in the world takes Obama seriously? Everyday it gets more embarrasing...

Wheather it be Democrat or Republican, we the voters and the people know what we want, and it's not to be led down the road we're going. Politicians on both sides had better walk the talk, or get out of the way. If it's not 2010 it will be 2012. Business as usual, can't remain business as usual. Oh I forgot, Obama changed that
RINOs can and will go faster than progressive liberals..
