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

Posted on 10/26/2014 1:32:27 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

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.

Larry Kudlow was super enthusiastic about a big Republican win this election. I didn't get what he expected to happen after that. He's big on immigration but if he said anything about it this time round, I didn't hear it.

ABC is pimping for Jeb Bush today. That's it. The candidates for 2016 are already picked. Hillary and Jeb. Jeb can't win with that last name. Hillary, unfortunately, can win with that last name because her husband is popular among much of the public again.

I hope this doesn't play out as it looks today. A lot can happen before Nov 2016.

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.

Your description of Perdue in Georgia sounds eerily familiar to North Carolinians. Tillis is the same, and is trailing Hagan because of it.

What if the majority of Georgia voters and their growing black population doesn’t want strongly conservative candidates? If a GOP candidate is running in such a state, why would you want him to say things the voters don’t want?

[ 1) Karl Rove candidates

2) Mass voter fraud ]

And Rove is going to blame conservative tea partiers for the dismal turnout...

Same thing in North Carolina. The electorate has changed. Minority totals have grown. What if the majority of the electorate doesn’t want to hear a strong conservative message. Why demand that a candidate tailor his or her message to say what the voters don’t want.

What, btw, was the centerpiece of GOP campaigns recently in Vermont?

So...actual conservatives in GA are going to just not vote because he is “bland”?

Are conservatives down there so stupid that they need “excitement” in order to prevent a certain Obama senate candidate from winning? The place is supposed to be a naturally conservative-leaning area, but someone needs TV commercials to figure out whom is not going to vote conservative?

Because the pollsters have to count Democrat fraud into their numbers.

Larry Kudlow is the poster boy for the GOPe/illegal alien amnesty wing of the Republican party. A true silk shirted RINO. He was less of a problem when he just spent his time snorting coke instead of lobbying for treason.

If we dont show up, then he would be right.

You either take care of business in the primaries, or you be satisfied with a Democrat win by staying home.

Rove didnt make idiots GOPers in the primaries vote for the RINOs. We on the right help a whole lot by not taking many key races seriously.

Next time we better take it seriously. No one owes us a win.

Well, apparently milquetoast bland is not a sure-fire vote getter, surprise surprise, because Tillis is trailing Hagan in a year when he should be walking all over her. Illegal immigration, not touched despite a good-sized majority across all demographics in opposition.

He's trailing precisely because he's not saying anything voters want to hear. Name one remotely controversial conservative stance this man has taken. He's not taken any. He still trails a fairly despised Democrat with notable weakness and controversy in a year that should be a sweep for Republicans.

If measurements suggested strong conservative positions were what the growing black electorate of North Carolina and the overall majority wants to hear, then that’s what you’d hear.

Obama only lost that state to Romney by 2% in 2012 and Romney didn’t manage that moving to the far right. Does anyone on FR think Romney is far right?

Because they stand for nothing, and run from the immigration issue

I like his optimism and he was right the stock market would go to 17,000 (that was when it was 1000 lower). I didn't listen to him.

But I get annoyed when the subject of immigration comes up with him. Callers try to set him straight but to no avail. He thinks it's good for the country.

It is not good for the country for our own citizens not to qualify for H1B jobs, think that is BS and preferential treatment. It is not good for the country for our own citizens not to get jobs the illegals are getting. They drive wages down. I don't know why Larry is so stubborn about it.

Maybe he's laying low since the "childrens' crusade". Diversity will be our undoing. Is there any country in the world with people of practically every country on the planet coming here? The Roman Empire became multi-cultural (not as bad as the US now). What good did it do them in the end?

Uh, why do we need Liberians? I thought we helped them get a start in a new country in Africa. Every new policy just pounds our native black population down further and in the long run we are going to pay dearly for it.

We’re clearly not speaking the same language, here. Tillis is not taking positions, he’s been very uncontroversial and he is trailing a very unpopular Democrat with notable controversies and very high negatives.

If the man and the party wanted to win the election, they’d “go there” in opposition to illegal immigration, which polls very well with black voters. As if black voters are voting to any extent for Republicans, but for the sake of argumentation I’ll play along. He might just get some crossover if he were to oppose this, but he will not.

And, he will not because the national leadership does not oppose illegal immigration. It’s all insanity, the will of the voting public is being overridden. Apparently, you’re just fine with that because DC knows best, voters who are actual citizens of any color be damned.

Why? Because they're half Dim to begin with!

Genius RNC rebranding has given us 2 DNC parties.

The GOP-e would boo God too, if they thought for a second they could get away with it!

“Why aren’t Republicans running away with the midterm election that should be a wave election?”

They are employing the “say nothing that will hurt us” strategy. If they do not talk, they cannot be quoted.

Because the GOP doesn’t stand for anything except amnesty. It’s the only issue they’ve consistently pushed for over a decade.

They simply wait for people to get tired of the Democrats so they can take their turn looting the treasury.
