GOP won't have a significant majority and Obama has a pen. House is 100% GOP lock.
Gridlock is our destiny
I'd be fine with gridlock. The GOP will be in the spotlight leading up to 2016..they just need to keep proposing good legislation and try to repeal and replace Obamacare with better legislation, even if Obama vetoes them.
Let the word get out what the GOP's ideas are, and hopefully the nation goes with those ideas in 2016.
Also with both houses, the GOP can put a stop to Obama's overreach and unilateral changing of laws via Executive Order.

Probably a bad idea if your goal is to win an election....the recipe for success at winning elections is to cloak your ideas until such time as you can whip them out and blame the opposition for them. What you are calling for, honesty in politics, is admirable but unlikely to be succesful....we don't want to hear that moderately succesful business men are planning to leave Hahira, Georgia and other such places and go to Washington where they and their families and friends will become fabulously wealthy and powerful at the exepense of the people back home. You would be hard pressed to get elected if you said this to the constituents but this is the goal of almost every politician who seeks office....
