The Republican party won a major victory last night. Big deal! They won't accomplish anything the next two years.
Obama has become a lame duck. There is only one way for him to regain political stature: he must enlarge the war in Syria and perhaps take on Iran. The Republicans will join him, rather than fight him. But the main reason he will do this is that whenever a president is checked by an opposition Congress, the only thing he can do to be the uncontested, mighty ruler of the Exceptional People is to wage war.
- Will they roll back the amerikan police state by repealing the so-called Patriot Act?
- Discuss whether the USA should withdraw from NATO, now that it serves no defensive purpose?
- Will they make it legal for amerikans to import pharmaceutical drugs, at lower price of course?
- Do anything to slow rampant inflation in health care and college costs?
- How about cleaning up the corruption in the banking and financial sector?
- Will they limit the fanatical Keynesian bubble-brewing of the Federal Reserve?
- Can they help young people look forward to good jobs or anything brighter than college debt and paying for trillions of dollars of Medicare expenses for aging Baby Boomers?

The reality is that we are a one party system. Draw a venn diagram of republican and democrat doners and the overlap will be huge. The only differences may be that democrats get the unions and republicans get the oil companies. Both parties share equally in monies from Wall Street, defense companies,indusstrials, and the healthcare sector. When you say the only thing the republicans care about is finding new wars or the only thing democrats care about is expanding government, both statements are only slightly true. The only thing both parties truely believe in is staying in power and keeping their lucrative gravey trains rolling.
Already the war plans are ramping up. This past election will prove to be a disaster for amerika.
