A GOP take over of Congress is... A Good Thing?

Yes, there is a question mark at the end of the title of this post.

And I believe it's a legitimate question. Is a Republican takeover of Congress a good thing?


A GOP takeover of both the House and Senate is not out of the realm of possibility. I'll be celebrating along with the rest of the GOP & conservative faithful if this becomes a reality.

However, even with control of both houses of Congress, the GOP will be able to accomplish little. Anything we can actually get through to the President's desk will be vetoed... and we won't have a veto proof majority.

Thus, while taking control of Congress will slow down and probably result in a temporary halt to the ultra-liberal agenda permeating Washington today, there is little a Republican Congress will be able to actually DO.

Then comes 2012, and what happens? Republicans are portrayed as having accomplished nothing with the opportunity given them.

So unless the Conservative frenzy continues for another two years, a GOP takeover now could cost us the White House and Congress in 2012.

Therefore, taking back Congress, yes, is good for now. But could we just be delaying the inevitable?

Imagine an energized Democratic party with control of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives... and an Obama Administration with nothing to lose.

Ouch.
