The Republican Party has been a big disappointment these past few years. They deservedly got spanked in the last two election cycles. But the American people don’t deserve runaway inflation, unprecedented debt and high interest rates. We don’t deserve a government that runs everything from banks and auto companies to the very food we eat. And we certainly don’t deserve another 9/11. The republicans are the only game in town with a chance to either stop or roll back some of President Obama and the democrats’ destructive policies.
Some recent polls suggest republicans may be able to turn things around. According to Rasmussen voters now trust republicans more than democrats when it comes to the economy, want the stimulus to be cancelled, think the Constitution doesn’t limit government’s power enough, and republicans now tie democrats in a generic poll. GOP Leader Eric Cantor predicted that the GOP will make a comeback in 2010 and take back the House.
“I really believe we’ve got a shot at taking back this House because you see what’s gone on here with the unfettered ability of this administration and Nancy Pelosi to run this Congress,” Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., the No. 2 Republican in the House, told ABC News in an exclusive interview. “The American people see that this agenda is way far out of the mainstream. They want a check and a balance on this power. And I think at the end of the day that’s what rules come November 2010.”
Of course, ABC News pointed out that Republican Party identification is down. But what about all the independents? You know, the ones who are having a difficult time swallowing all the socialism being rammed down their throats? They may be a bit liberal when it comes to social issues, but social issues take the back burner when the economy and their ability to make a living is in peril.
Obama knows this, why else would he pick off republicans for obscure appointments? To show how bi-partisan he is? Of course not, he’s hoping they can be replaced with democrats that will go along with his agenda. He isn’t bi-partisan, he’s hyper-partisan. If the republicans play their cards right (and find a way to deal with the wild cards) Eric Cantor’s prediction may come true. If so, I certainly hope they have learned their lesson.
We can only hope that they don’t find another way to snatch defeat fromthe jaws of victory, as is their history.
