If the GOP wins the House on Tuesday
and I say if because unlike the MSM I don't think it is a done deal, but if they do win a majority in the House, how will they act over the next two years?

Will they continue to obstruct in an effort to unseat the President in '12? Or will they finally try to compromise?

1. The impeachment hearings begin
the day after swearing in.

9. Then I say good...
They do that, I promise we get the house back in 2012 - assuming we lose it at all.
Obama is a very popular President - well liked overall.
If the far righties start that crap I will celebrate - it will bring a quick end to any popular 'surge' they have going this year.
And they won't get anywhere close to impeachment.

2. The only reason the GOP would compromise
is if "compromise" would result in taking down Obama and we all know this isn't the case.

3. If I were the republicans I wouldn't want to win
because there is not a think in hell, with the actions they take, that they could do to get the economy going. So it would just sink their chances for the presidency and those voted into office in the house would be kicked out on their ass. Then it will be a heck of along time before fox and Beck and Rove and Rush could get the people back into the republican state of mind.

4. Neither/both
They have wars to plan! They figure an all-out invasion of mexico is the best bet because they need to make it safe and secure for the Mexican people so they won't immigrate to the U.S. They will greet us with flowers if we help liberate them.

6. If that happens
at least the public will have someone else to blame. They see the condition of the economy, the loss of jobs and homes, and they naturally blame the party in power...
