10 Terrible Things Republicans Will Try to Do If They Take Over in November

[LuckyTheDog]

Democrats are in trouble come November. If current polling is any indication, Republicans have a good chance of reclaiming a majority in the House of Representatives and perhaps even the Senate (though the Senate is a less likely prospect). That's not because people are wildly excited about Republicans. In fact, a recent poll shows that registered voters rate the GOP's performance as worse than the Democrats'. But the enthusiasm gap between the parties gives the GOP an advantage; a nine-point advantage among likely voters, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Perhaps Americans should know what's really at stake if this batch of Republicans takes over Congress in November. Here are 10 terrible things the GOP might do:

1) Shut down government to stop health care bill. "All the Republican Congress needs to say in January is, 'We won't fund it," said former Speaker of the House and likely 2012 presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, speaking about the GOP leadership’s intent to shut down the government to stop health care reform from being enacted. He should know. He did it before, back in 1995 when the Republicans reclaimed Congress during the Clinton administration. The GOP's government shutdown was disastrous for millions of Americans.

1. It really is hard to tell what all they will do to the country if they win

That is why it is so important to vote this election and get to your Democratic HQ and GOTV.

2. Is "Impeach Obama..................for ANYTHING!" on that list?

3. Many here think these are all good things

so they align with the progressive/teabagger coalition and fight anything about the Democratic Party.

7. That simply isn't true.

I doubt there's even a handful of people on this site who want the Republicans to win.

We just wish the Democrats would give everyone more of a reason to vote for them, that's all.

It's like an out-of-line red-headed step-child... we get frustrated with him from time to time, but we still call him our own.

When push comes to shove, even the most die-hard critics of Congress and the Administration will end up voting against the Republicans in November. It's the people who don't frequent this site that you really should be worried about.

4. This is disgusting...

"In recent days, the Montana GOP has actually taken that anti-gay message a step further. The Montana GOP platform now calls for making homosexuality illegal."

From the article. How can they say that? How can people support that? :puke: Hateful bigots, I'll never vote for a Republican even if my life depends on it. Scum! I can't wait for the day their party finally dies like the bloated carcass it already is.

5. I'm with you 100% and will be voting "D" on 11/2

The abuse of the filibuster by GOP should motivate all who voted in '08 to come back out this year. I wish we could give them a filibuster-proof senate. We thought they had it this time, but didn't expect Liberman and some Conserv-Dems to turn against them in the end. And I shutter at the thought of "Boner" becoming Speaker. Keep the orange man out, I say! I still remain hopeful. www.americanvoicesunited.com
