Get rid of the Democrats and we might have a chance. We did a pretty good job during the last midterms, now we have to finish the job in 2012.

Do you really think the Republicans would do any better?
History tells us that one party rule does not work.
The Reps were in complete control and got us in two money pit wars and the snowball started down hill. The Dems got complete control and all they did was to kick the snowball down hill faster. Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming the Reps for the mess the country is in, but they didn't do anything to try to stop it when they had the chance and neither did the Dems.

No, the best thing that can happen this next election is to split Congress and the Senate as close to 50/50 as we can get them. They would either have to stop whining and work together or nothing will get done, either way it's a win/win for the country.

We need the check & balance a 50/50 split will provide.
