Hope and change
WSJ:
Mr. Barone says the historical parallel might no longer be 1994, when the GOP gained 54 House seats, but instead 1894, when Republicans gained more than 100 House seats in the middle of the economic downturn that engulfed Democratic President Grover Cleveland.
And classy:
A Republican majority in Congress would mean “hand-to-hand combat” on Capitol Hill for the next two years, threatening policies Democrats have enacted to stabilize the economy, President Obama warned Wednesday.

Hand to hand combat? Well that is the Chicago way. I hope he realises that there are more members of the NRA on the right side of the isle… Be careful what you wish for, Barry!

Hand to hand combat to this administration means a slap fight.

And how, exactly, have those policies stabilized the economy? They’re all lying to themselves to keep themselves from worrying.

God I wish our congressmen and senators would go hand to hand in combat over what they believe in. Of course since they believe in nothing then nothing will ever happen…

I say, “Good!”
Let’s punch back twice as hard.

I’d love to watch daily fist-fights on C-SPAN, that and Senate Cage Matches. Woot! Finally we’d be getting our money’s worth from these DC assholes.

IIRC, hand to hand combat is what one engages in when all your other means of combat have failed, and you are really, really desperate not to expire.

Too bad things aint more like the pre-Civil War. In those days it was’nt unusual for a congresscritter to challenge another congresscritter who pissed him off to a duel.
That, I’d love to see!

Oh, so Barry wants to go “Chicago”, eh? “When Barry brings a Bat, You bring a Knife. When Barry brings a knife, You bring a Gun”. That Over-Educated College Boy couldn’t make it for 30 seconds in a real political fight.
