Intrade, the online trading exchange that allows people to trade based on the likelihood of future events of interest, currently is trading at a price of 55.1 that the Republicans will take the House in November elections. Read below quotes from Michele Bachmann to see what it will be like if/when the Republicans take the House:

"...I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another. And expose all the nonsense that is going on. And it’s very important when we come back that we have constitutional conservative leadership because the American people’s patience is about this big." Bachmann expressed her concern over the stake the government has in the private economy, which has grown (according to her--my words) since President Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States.
“So we have to make sure that we do what the people want us to do because one thing that you should is that the most dramatic story that’s happened in the last 18 months is that the federal government – before 18 months ago, the private economy was 100 percent held in private hands[.] (not true--my words) But today 65 percent of the economy is now held in government’s hands – either in direct ownership or in control (not true--my words) we’re talking about . So we got to unravel that and we got to get the private sector back to being private and the government back to being government.”
“This is the year – this is it,” Bachmann continued. “All of our chips are on November. If we don’t get it back and then starve the beast – the House, we have the power of the purse – so we can starve ObamaCare. We don’t have to fund any of these programs and that’s exactly what we need to do – defund all of this nonsense and then unwind it.”

OK, Folks--this is Republican leadership, taking America backwards. If you don't want this, you can help do something about it. Don't sit back and let the election take place without you. When someone asks you to volunteer, or even it they don't, do something to help Democratic candidates. And, just as important, keep a positive attitude. Our candidates are not perfect, but just consider the alternative--Michele Bachmann-like thinking. Remember how eight years of the George Bush administration devastated this country. None of us can afford to sit on the sidelines.
