Why Aren’t the Republicans Running Away with the Midterm Election?
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/26/14 | A.J. Cameron

Pray for divine guidance of those voting legally, those promising to adhere to their oaths of office, and that Satan’s puppets are routed at the ballot box!

Obama’s ratings continue to deteriorate, even within his base, yet Republicans continue to struggle in races that could put them over the top in the Senate. Why aren’t Republicans running away with the midterm election that should be a wave election?

When listening to conservative radio and reading conservative blogs and columns, we hear the standard comments that play out in the puppeteer-controlled media. Are people on the ‘Right’ afraid to address the real reasons that the Republicans are struggling to take advantage of a golden opportunity? There is a refrain that all politics is local. That is so yesterday! Today’s politics is establishment politics. You may have a phenomenal Representative or Senator, but if the party leadership consists of thugs, as both parties do now, your Representative or Senator is politically, morally, and ethically neutered. If he/she aspires to be on specific committees, or higher office, they are forced to go along to get along. Essentially, for many, their morality, ethics and campaign promises are altered, and this is justified by the ‘good’ they can do, once they ‘arrive’ on said committee, or political office.

Why Aren’t the Republicans Running Away with the Midterm Election?

The reason is that the Republicans and the GOPe don't stand for anything. They have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that will just give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.

Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.

You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:

The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate

Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.

The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.

Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.

It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.

I’m pretty sure that BIG business and the Chamber of Commerce going over to the Dark Side has a lot to do with it.

For a very simple reason. More than half of all Americans are socialists. Thank goodness they don’t all vote.

Because the election doesn't take place until Nov. 4......and everything leading up to it is purely speculation by people who make their money speculating on these elections.

Conservatives had their chance in the primaries to get rid of these people, and instead we blew virtually every race on trying to be cute.

This article should be why WE didn’t run away with anything. Where was our big money? Where was our GOTV effort? It wasn’t Karl Rove working dirty tricks, it was conservatives not taking most of the election nearly as serious and thinking that just the notion of conservatism itself would scare RINOs into a corner.

But hey, we will teach the RINOs for actually being far more determined and committed than we by potentially tossing the Senate to the Dems and then spending the next two years bitching and moaning about how no one listens to us.

Lots of Republicans are socialists, too. They certainly aren't conservative.

I won't be voting for Cornyn. He's a liberal type.

Heard on Howard Kurtz: From September 1 to October 20, ABC Nightly News did exactly zero stories about the midterm elections.

Conservatives can also make sure the liberal republican don't win the general election, too.

Big money was spent by the establishment to suppress conservatives.

I won't be voting for Cornyn, and I've got other that I've convinced not to vote for that liberal.

“The reason is that the Republicans and the GOPe don’t stand for anything.”

They actual do stand for collectivism like the Dems but differ slightly on how it should be implemented.

as long as there is machine vote counting the democrat bureaucrats that control the vote count will never let the Republicans win again.

Because if the poll numbers aren’t close, then the machine vote count fraud will look suspicious.

Yup.

Remember when all the polls predicted a John Kerry landslide?

This is the primary reason why the Republicans will fail to take the Senate and may lose House seats.

Just take a look at the Senate race in GA as a prime example. Perdue refuses to go nuclear on his opponent, the daughter of Sam Nunn. Just bland ad after ad of saying Nunn will be a vote for Obama. Nothing about what Perdue will do for GA, no clear articulation of conservative principles and denouncing Obama's agenda.
