   As long as they act like it is all or nothing they are setting themselves up to lose everything in 2012, the House, giving back the Democrats a Super Majority in the Senate and the Presidency. What the House Republicans and Governor Walker are doing is calling attention to the worst that the Republicans now stand for.

   The Republicans are doing what the voters elected them to do unlike the Democrats

   Actually, Republicans know that they are going to experience an election cycle in 2012 like the Democrats experienced in 2010.

   In the US, we have to very distinctive electorates — those who vote in Presidential elections and those who vote in off-year elections. The difference between the two is about 40 million voters.

   You can gain seats in the off-year without having a single voter change their vote, you just need more of the other side’s part-time voters to not show up. However, it is hard to keep those seats when everybody is voting in the Presidential elections.

   .do your homework. If we don’t get rid of our present voting system ( Die bold and the other electronic voting systems) then we will have lost control of our democracy all together. Start watching the documentaries, W was bought into office twice. The majority of the voters vote for the man and not the party. After 4 years of Bush and the boys, the majority is smart enough to vote for a change. I believe that Obama won by the largest margin ever if all the votes had been counted correctly .

   obama will not win, he is a one term community organizer in chief, and Republicans will take the Senate and more seats in the house. I would bet on it. Time to put a real hard worker in office, not a dynasty dude or dudette. Vote in some one who has not made his fortune off taxpayers, Donald Trump would kick start this Nation back to being the best. He is one tough guy and is brilliant.
