Briarpatch,

I don't think over confidence is the decideing factor.I think the "Party Republican" intends to do nothing different than in the past.

If they are elected into majority thier policies will remain as they have been for the past 20 years. Those policys got us to, the largest part, where we are today.

They have norhing to lose by doing nothing.

The coorporations and lobbies run the Republican party and set it's policies and agendas.

Which election is that? If that's the one where Newt the Traitor runs against Obama the Undocumented Traitor, I wish they could both be derailed by a true believer in the Constitution, but due to the sheeple mentality of the American voter................That ain't gonna happen, and we lose no matter which Traitor is in office.

Same thing in the House and Senate. Flip a coin! It won't make much of a diff.
The Republicans and Democrats may as well run Sarah against Oprah. JMO and I'm sure it's a minority one.

Beerbelly,

 I said nothing about being happy with Obama, I said the Republicans offer no solutions to our problems. You are just one more of the majority of Republican supporters that can't see past your own prejudices  to see a "real solution" (which is offered by neither party). All that the Republicans offer is the lessor of evils which is no solution, it is what we have had for the past 15 or 20 years that has gotten us to where we are now.

Your arguements favor those of a left wing liberal. Pick a non valid/non exsistant point to argue when you don't have a real arguement.

So, we known what the commies (Dumocrats) are doing is not working and it never will, and the Republicans are influenced too much by the evil corporations.  I guess we're just screwed.

I'm still sticking with the notion that we should secure our borders, get rid of all the illegal aliens and make the Bush tax cuts permanent.  Then governments at every level should cut everything that isn't essential, but in order not to abruptly make unemployment even worse, much of that would probably have to be done by attrition.

Here's a question: What government jobs can you all think of that we could probably do without? 

A couple of days ago, I was out at the river and witnessed a boater being towed in to the dock by a sheriff's patrol boat.  The boat had lost power in the middle of the river and had called for a tow.  The patrol boat had to come from 25 miles away.  I consider this a total waste of public funds.  1) There is no need for the sheriff to be patrolling these waters that are already patrolled by fish and game.  Two deputies were manning the patrol boat.  2) There were hundreds of boats on the water and from my experience there are always folks who are more than happy to help fellow boaters.  I've done it myself. 

I'm sure there are more and better examples of tax money being spent for services that we could do without.

I've always found it amusing that people seem to believe that Republicans are controlled by evil corporations.  Here's some food for thought:

1.  Does it make sense that only Republicans are controlled by corporations, or is it more likely that Washington, through the ever increasing centalization of power, is influenced in equal measure on both sides of the isle?

2.  Might it be that the uber-powerful and omnipotent Fed is the real player?  The Fed is borderless, amoral, un-audited, and operates, best I can tell, for the good of the Fed, or at least it operates in favor of globalism.

Frankly, I have absolutely no idea who is in charge of the US.  I personally think that a $3.8 trillion budget seems to think for itself.

No, I don't think that the Republicans are overconfident.  There is this little thing called an enthusiasm gap.  Basically, as it stands today, Republicans will crawl through a field of broken glass and land mines in the middle of a blizzard to vote.  The dems appear resigned to defeat, and many of the Obama revolution voters, so disheartened by their Chief Executive, are gonna stay home.
