[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 424849, member: 8259"] This is an interesting point. When the democrats tried to push several radical proposals throught congress when Clinton was president it cost them the majority. I think they may have learned from those mistakes as you witness a serious hard turn toward the center by many of their candidates including Obama. On the other side there are many who believe that this is a once in a generation opportunity to push through some of their more radical proposals and they may be willing to sacrifice a second Obama term to do this. I think it is pretty obvious that the majority of Americans still want smaller government and lower taxes. I think it will be interesting to watch the coming battle in Congress on some of these issues. Will they actually raise taxes as they promised? Will they actually pull troops from Iraq as they promised? Will they actually destroy the coal industry as promised? Will they actually make health care a right as they promised? Will they actually take away the right to a secret ballot for union elections as promised? Will they actually promote isolationism as promised? They now have the power to at least do most of these things and I predict if they do power will at least erode in two years. Will we see some of their previous legislative failures come back to life (gun control, fairness doctrine)? [/QUOTE]
