Paint Picture of US *IF* Perry wins and GOP wins 60 Senate seats in 2012

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

what would the GOP do in their first two years of Perry administration with 60 GOP Senators?

I'd guess:
1) the non-military workforce of the Federal government gets a 25% headcount reduction
2) a new wave of deregulation
3) the end of Obamacare (either through outright repeal or SCOTUS defeat)
4) replacement of SCOTUS Justice Kennedy with a true conservative (and maybe even Scalia and Thomas)
5) drill baby drill

what else?

[Frodo]

The Federalist Society effectively takes over the judiciary branch; and among other court rulings, Roe vs. Wade (and, by extension, Planned Parenthood vs Casey) is overturned by the SCOTUS.

ok, but that's more of an indirect result...I'm asking what does the GOP do in terms of Congressional and/or Executive action.

[Sbane]

Get rid of Medicare and Social Security. Ramp up military spending by 50%. Cut taxes by 90%. Bankrupt America and then blame the Democrats.

A paint picture? Why, of course.

You forgot to mention the almost complete deregulation of our economy, turning the clock back decades, when rivers used to be on fire, the air was almost too toxic to breathe, and human fingers were routinely found in our ground beef.

Oh yeah, I forgot that. We need to compete with India and China for the dirtiest air award. Can't let them win.

That's the spirit!

no, I think the GOP has been won over to clean air and water (I'm one of the greenest GOP members on this forum)....we just  dont agree with the Dems that we should mandate not-ready-for-prime-time technology like electric cars and solar power, we'd rather convert to natgas as a bridge to a longer term solution.

Probably a reduction in military spending.  I would not be too surprised to see amnesty for illegal aliens, provided they are good quasi-citizens.

that would be about the most politically damaging thing the GOP could do in the next 10 years...the politically smart thing to do is nominate Rubio for VP in 2012 and start deporting the hell out of illegals in states like CO, AZ, and NV

[Likely Voter]

to make up for the lost revenue of eliminating the unconstitutional income tax, Perry would start selling naming rights to Federal Buildings and Parks

Say hello to the Tostitos^TM White House and the GoDaddy^TM  Congressional Dome. And of course Grand Tetons Park brought to you by Hooters^TM

As part of the deal, Perry would also include product placement in all his oval office speeches.

Isn't it obvious? There will be a very simple three-point plan, immediately implemented to transform the US:
 
1. Cut taxes
2. Raise spending
3. Declare bankruptcy

Basically we'd very quickly become a third world banana republic.

More so.

[DrScholl]

Let's see

1. Pass a huge social agenda.
2. Restrict unions.
3. Privatize social security and medicare.
4. Give all roads and bridges to private corporations for free, allowing high fees.
5. Repeal all environmental laws.
6. Manipulate election law so that Republicans have an easier time winning elections.

Sorry rubes...correct answer:

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Put the kabash on the Tea Party and become a responsible governing party again.

Remember the "angry white males" of the 1990's.. the militia groups... Pat Buchanan....  all of that seemed to go away in 2000.

Yeah...what a great 8 years of peace and prosperity we had during that period.

Things were much better under kinder, gentler moderate Republicans like George W Bush.

Meh....

Bush: 8 months of peace and six years of prosperity
Obama: No peace, no prosperity.
