[…] link I shared was to Neo-Neocon’s lament about the veto. The blame game is only a small portion of the strategy that Republicans will have […]

I forgot one more thing. I would like to see the supreme court judges investigated, as I think Obama has them in his back pocket. The democrats brought this fight on and the Americans want to finish it with a WIN. SO, BRING IT ON,republicans and we will still be there for you in 2012.

Just remember that the republicans won because the people caught up to the lies of the democratic agenda. they want revenge and to know the truth about obama. We the people have been duped by the whole democratic part,and we also know that when someone investigates any of obamas right hand thugs,that the first thing he does is to throw them under the so called bus. WHO`S FIRST? HOLDER,2ND,PELOSI FOR IMPROPER VETTING OF Obama,3rd,Acorn. At the same time Republicans must be doing what the American people want,LIKE, boarder patrol of illegals , get the health bill in a win win situation,not by repealing it but by making it known and safe to the people and and take out all the unknown bullshi% that it contains. Remember this, that Obama will fight tooth and nail to make sure that he gets the credit for passing it. He wants credit for a lot of things but what he has is nothing,so make him feel good,at the same time, bring him to his knees. Any one of his henchmen that goes before a supreme court, would squeal like a pig.BUT lets not forget that Americans have been convinced that obama is not legal himself and we would like to know all the truths about him,like his records etc. I personally know that the next 2 years will be hell for all Americans and that millions of people will suffer. Well it will be worth the suffering to me to expose this s.o.b. BRING OUR TROOPS HOME,BRING OUR JOBS BACK,MAKE AMERICA SELF SUFFICIENT AGAIN,BRING OUR DEBTS DOWN,GET RID OF ILLEGAL POLITICS , AND MOST OF ALL STAY OUT OF PEOPLE LIVES AND LET US FEEL SAFE AGAIN AND LET US LIVE IN PEACE. OH! one more little thing, GET RID OF TAXES.

So Obama will veto GOP bills? So what? Make him. The GOP must realize we don't want to see laws passed just for them to be able to say they "accomplished something". That's not what they were elected for. What we want is for the GOP to throw down the gauntlet; draw the line in the sand; declare their principles in the only way that counts - by voting. Make the Democrats fight them! Bring to a vote bills for an across-the-board budget cut of at least 5%. Get a vote on repealing ObamaCare; extending the Bush tax cuts; cutting capital gains tax; extending the ban on the death tax. It doesn't matter whether they pass the Senate or get vetoed: MAKE THEM VOTE! That's the only way we can tell who can stay and who needs to go. Besides, if they keep up the pressure, they just may see some crumbling of "party discipline" by the Dems. If they'll do that, 2012 will be an even bigger political tsunami than 2010.

… many of the remaining Democrats in the Senate don’t even come up for re-election until 2014 or even 2016.

No duh. When is that ever not the case. About 1/3 of the Senate every two years. But in 2012 only about 1/3 of the senators up for re-election will be Republicans, the rest Democrats.

If they have any sense Republicans will force Senate votes and vetoes on many unpopular laws and regulations promulgated by our current masters.

This article is not particularly well thought out.

"Propose a budget with across the board cuts to EVERYTHING! 5% for starter. Military included. Dare the SOB do veto it. When/if he does, pass another one and dare him again."-Steve Ducharme Wow. That's a sure-fire way to energize the all Democrat party interest groups all at once, Steve. Remember this: an interest group can just as easily mobilize to fight a 5% nick to their goodie as to oppose having their taxpayer-funded goodie abolished altogether. The political capital consumed to fight the tax-eaters is the same in both cases. However, if the goodie is abolished the interest group that fed on it goes away and isn't around year after year to maneuver to restore their goodie to full funding. "Part of the fix is to go on the offensive, and that means demonizing the demons, not just picking up some of the pieces of our shattering Republic that they’ve knocked down."-Tom Let's take a tip out of Obama's favorite playbook. Zero in on some large federal budget boondoggles that fund unpopular interest groups. Publicize the outrage, polarize the public, and pressure for abolition of the program. Rinse, repeat. Put the word out on the street that if any other tax-eater groups show solidarity with the target then their undeserved goodie may go straight to the top of our to-do list.

And Rick,

You know who brought the case that made the Constitutional point?

Tim Leary. Heh.
