(( You know, I'm not at all sure this is good. If we get more
corporate-profit-worshipping, antinationalist, globalist, neocon
douchebags such as infest the GOP in great numbers we would be better
off with an avowedly radical and much despised Democrat regime. But if
we can get some Ron Pauls, some Buchanans, some Tancredos in there,
there is some small hope for a future in this country. Booting the
illegal mestizos, forcing American corporations to manufacture in
America or pay tariffs, and ending the panderfest to the gangster
state on the Jordan is a minimum needed for survival. Bret.))


MORRIS: GOP will win House, Senate

By Dick Morris - 04/06/10 06:25 PM ET

"Stanley Greenberg and James Carville claim that the Republican Party has peaked too soon. Incredibly, Greenberg says that “when we look back on this, we’re going to say Massachusetts is when 1994 happened.” Stan’s only claim to expertise in the 1994 elections, of course, is that he’s the guy who blew it for the Democrats. Right after that, President Clinton fired both of the flawed consultants and never brought them back again.

Their latest pitch is that the highpoint of the GOP advance was the
Scott Brown election and that, from here on, things will “improve
slightly” for the Democrats.

Once again, Carville and Greenberg are totally misreading the public
mood. Each time the Republican activists battle, they become stronger.
Their cyber and grass roots grow deeper. The negatives that attach to
so-called “moderate” Democratic incumbents increase. And each time
Obama, Reid and Pelosi defy public opinion and use their majorities to
ram through unpopular legislation, frustration and anger rise.

Were Obama’s ambitions to slacken, perhaps a cooling-off might
eventuate. But soon the socialist financial takeover bill will come on
the agenda, followed by amnesty for illegal immigrants, cap-and-trade
and card-check unionization. Each bill will trigger its own
mobilization of public opposition and add to the swelling coalition of
opposition to Obama and his radical agenda.

And, all the while, the deficit will increase, interest rates will
rise and unemployment will remain high.

Meanwhile, the political process will generate more and more strong
Republican challengers. We have yet to see if former Gov. Tommy
Thompson of Wisconsin or Dino Rossi of Washington state will emerge to
challenge Sens. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
Better House candidates will decide to capitalize on the momentum and
will jump into the race and Republican donors will come out of hiding,
their efforts catalyzed by the growing optimism about GOP chances.

Presaging the looming Republican sweep is the shift in the party
ratings on various issues. Rasmussen has the Republicans ahead by
49-37 on the economy and 53-37 on healthcare. His likely-voter poll
shows GOP leads on every major issue area: national security (49-37),
Iraq (47-39), education (43-30), immigration (47-34), Social Security
(48-36) and taxes (52-34).

When Republicans are winning issues like education, healthcare and
Social Security — normally solidly Democratic issues — a sweep of
unimaginable proportions is in the offing.

Will the rise in economic growth and job creation — if they continue —
offset the Republican gains? Not very likely. Remember Bill Clinton’s
1994 experience. Even though the recession had officially ended in the
quarter before he took office and he proudly pointed to the 5 million
new jobs that had been created during the first two years of his
presidency, Clinton got no bounce from the jobs issue or the economy.
Even in the election of 1996, the economy was only marginally a source
of strength for the Democratic president. It wasn’t until impeachment
that the job growth that had been ongoing since he took office began
to work heavily in his favor with the public. The hangover from a
recession, and certainly from one as violent as this, lasts a long
time. A very long time.

And all this assumes that things will, indeed, improve. Worries about
inflation loom large and concerns that higher taxes and interest rates
will trigger a new downturn also abound. As long as the deficit is as
high as it is, there is no solid foundation for a sustained period of
economic growth.

Finally, Obama is now responsible for healthcare in America. When
premiums rise, it will be his fault. When coverage is denied, it will
be on his watch.

When Medicare cuts kick in, it will be Obama who gets the blame.

Carville’s last book touted “40 more years of Democrats.” Now he
dreams of a loss of “only” 25 seats in the House and “six or seven”
senators. But these are pipe dreams. Republicans will gain more than
50 House seats and at least 10 in the Senate, enough to take control
in both chambers. That’s reality."

It probably comes as naturally to him as toe tapping comes to Senator
Sugar.
