Dangers of a Liberal Supermajority

It is possible that we'll end up with a filibuster proof, 60 seat, liberal supermajority in the Senate.

"...this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history...Liberals would dominate the entire government."

"...the most important power of the filibuster is to shape legislation, not merely to block it."

"Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants."

Liberal agenda:

Government-run health insurance.

Regulatory overkill causing economic downtown to last longer.

"Card Check" -- eliminating secret ballot elections for Unions and Big Labor.

Taxes -- "Taxes will rise substantially, the only question being how high. Mr. Obama would raise the top income, dividend and capital-gains rates for "the rich," substantially increasing the cost of new investment in the U.S."

"More radically, he wants to lift or eliminate the cap on income subject to payroll taxes that fund Medicare and Social Security. This would convert what was meant to be a pension insurance program into an overt income redistribution program."

Voting rights -- "A liberal supermajority would move quickly to impose procedural advantages that could cement Democratic rule for years to come. One early effort would be national, election-day voter registration. This is a long-time goal of Acorn and others on the "community organizer" left and would make it far easier to stack the voter rolls".

Free speech -- "A major goal of the supermajority left would be to shut down talk radio and other voices of political opposition."

Welfare-state liberalism -- spread the wealth around; Socialist redistribution.

Maintain the republic -- vote for John McCain.
