If they run just opposing Obama ,it will be enough.Just keep saying 'Im against health care,cap and trade and want to stop the spending".You dont need to even be for much,just oppose the direction that the little community organiser wants to go in and you win.

Then what?  LOL... Suddenly it's 2013, the Repubs are running the congress and the White House, and they're just as clueless.  I guess they could start a war or two.

I wish we could get rid of Schumer in NYS.  He really is a pain in the ass here.

Schumer gave Time Warner the finger when they tried a tiered internet takeover.  He is numero uno for keeping the internet free from corporate control.

it just seems like "I'm against Obama!" will work to get them in the door... then what?

Obama won because "I'm not like Bush!" and hasn't changed a thing.  I can't think of much that would be different with a President mccain right now.  He supported the bailout Bill, along with Bush and his handlers, so it's a safe bet he would have supported the Stim bill too.  If we know one thing here... it's that presidential power ain't that big a thing anymore.

Meet the next guy... same as the current guy...

Well,it depends on what type of republicans win.If its the stupid ass republicans like Crist,then it will be things as usual.If its conservatives then how about just a few things like.

Tax cuts for those making between 40,000 and 250,000.Not a tax rebate like the radical in there now had,a drop in the rates.

How about a drastic cut in corporate taxes.

How about starting to build some nuke power plants

How about using ideas like Jack Kemp had and putting tax free zones for buisiness' going into urban areas and tax cuts if they hire people who live in a 5 mile radius of that buisiness?

How about a federal law making every state a right to work state and do away with the assanine unions[i know that wont happen,and im for states rights,just fantasising there]

How about really trying to kraft a health care bill that is bipartisin and letting Obama get some of his stuff in and the repubs getting their stuff in.
