Conservative-Democrat

I am happy with the GOP victory this election cycle.  Really.  This is the best thing that can happen for a conservative Democrat.  Obama and his very-liberal policies needed to be stopped or at least slowed down.  But it leaves some interesting thoughts, so I have some predictions (though my predictions are worth the price you a paying)

• Obama will run unopposed in 2012 for the Democrat ticket
• The new House will have a big fight on who the next Speaker will be…  Traditional GOP leadership or a Tea Party supported Speaker
• In the end the traditional GOP leader will retain their control in exchange for supporting the Tea Party agenda items
• The Senate will tone things down and possibly pass more than most are expecting and allow President Obama to veto the legislations.  The are a lot of seats up for grabs in 2012 currently held by Dems.
• Pelosi will retain the leadership, but have much more difficulty herding the cats.  Many of those who did not want to go along with her liberal agenda lost their seats.  She is left with the faithful.
• Marco Rubio is a prime candidate to VP in 2012, though it is too soon for him to run for President
• Obama will blame the people, republicans, and his own staff for the loss.  He will claim that he simply did not do a good job at politiking the situation (because he is trying to be above such things) and never admit that his ideas are wrong
• Obama will NOT compromise with the new congress on anything substantial.
• The eceonmy will rebound in 2011-2012.  Companies are looking forward to the gridlock
• Obama-care will not have any major elements repealed

Other observations.  My favorite candidates that won were both from Florida.  I like Rep. Allen West and Sen. Marco Rubio.  I wish that the Democrat party could attract talent like these two, however they are not even considered since they are not liberal.  Pity.

Time to take back the party.  Send money to conservative democrat candidates.  Get democrat tea party events scheduled (don’t invite Palin).  Insist that the American dream still exists and we can do better for ourselves without the government spending the money of our grandchildren. 

Stop making things so easy for the GOP by appealing to the left-wing, weird causes.  Stick with that that is most important.  More on this later.
