[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 777941, member: 2189"] Yesterday I heard a news report where repub. icon Newt Gingrich was already soft pedaling expectations after a repub. sweep in the mid-terms and saying that the next step is a full completed sweep in 2012' and getting back the White House. Let's use 1994' thru 2000' as a framework and what was said after the sweep took place in 2000'? 1) We need a super majority in the Congress. or 2) We need to pack the Supreme Court. In the case of the so-called super majority, that's pure BS because what's really said is we don't want to risk our own political position over a principled cause and even worse is that we lack the knowledge to make the arguement with real, true committment nor are we willing to seek the knowledge to do so in making our case in the public arena of ideas. In the case of the court, at one point during the time that the repubs. controlled the Congress and the White House, 7 of the 9 SCOTUS judges were repub. appointees so in effect a single political party controlled all 3 branches of gov't and yet gov't even in the none defense sector actually grew in size and scope. One should seriously start asking not about the use of tea bags but rather whatz really in them! I know what get's my vote.
