The Republicans in Congress -- most of them anyway -- seem to singing off the same song-sheet regarding Barack Obama's beyond-this-world gargantuan 3.6 trillion dollar budget for next year. Their theme in describing Obama's budget, which Nancy Pelosi's and Harry Reid's left-wing Congress is expected to endorse (or even increase) is: "It spends too much; it taxes too much and it borrows too much."

Now if the Republican Party wants to duplicate its success when two other Democrat presidents governed from the left -- Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 and Bill Clinton in 1993 -- and the Republicans act like the small-government, low-taxing party it is supposed to be, it might have a chance to even take over one of the chambers of Congress next year (not the Senate of course.)

After Johnson and Clinton introduced extreme left-wing policies in the year following their elections, the American people were appalled and the Republicans gained huge numbers in Congress. Indeed, in 1994, the Republicans actually took over control of the House and the Senate. Even some Democrats in Congress from conservative states are blowing the whistle on the Obama/Pelosi/Reid budget, but will they be trampled all over by San Francisco Democrat Pelosi's legions of left-wingers.

Regarding the Obama budget spending too much, Democrat Senator Blanche Lincoln from Arkansas says: "Unfortunately, the President's budget fails to fully address how we control spending while pursuing critical priorities, such as health care reform."

Regarding the Obama budget taxing too much, Democrat Senator Ben Nelson from Nebraska says that it "doesn't work to be raising taxes in a time when we are experiencing major adjustments in our economy."

Regarding the Obama budget borrowing too much, Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu from Louisiana says: "[W]e do have to keep our eye on the long term, on intermediate and long-term fiscal responsibility."

If the Republicans in Congress remain committed to their party's principles -- which they abandoned during the last few years when they controlled Congress -- they just might pull another major upset in next year's elections. They might even stop -- with the help of some of these Democrats from conservative states -- some of the European-style socialist programs Obama, Pelosi and Reid intend to impose upon America.
