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.

OH NO...a negative post about the republicans being stupid again!

This will be the longest week and a half on record and until it’s over I still think they (republicans) have a great chance of losing every thing even without voter fraud.

Oh by the way I had a wild rabbit for supper tonight and it was wonderful.

When the GOP wins the senate there will still be crying that it wa too little. Im 2008 the dems controlled the wh, house and 60 seats in the senate.

Because they’re Republicans....Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is what they do.

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

Correctamundo. On top of that, every candidate has been running against Obama. I believe that is a mistake. Instead, they should be running against the liberal policies that has gotten us into this mess. Obama hasn't failed. He has succeeded tremendously in implementing the policies liberals have wanted for decades. The issue that needs to be driven home again and again is that it is these policies that have failed.

The GOP has been handed this golden opportunity to once and for all repudiate the liberalism of the 60s and 70s. Yet instead, they are going after the man America elected to implement these policies instead of pointing out the failure of the policies themselves.

Things are not as gloomy as they might appear. It is with metaphysical certitude that I predict Republicans retaining every Senate seat they occupy that is not subject to mid-term election..............

Exactly. This election should be a resounding repudiation of liberal policies. Yet I do not hear a single Republican candidate talking about how the printing of the money is responsible for our lower standard of living, or how food stamps are responsible for higher grocery prices, or how EPA fascism is responsible for higher electricity and gasoline prices, or how the NSA has eroded our privacy rights, or how ObamaCare has given us fewer healthcare options and higher premiums and deductibles, or how higher taxes have caused us to cut back on our customary family luxuries (like going to the movies, or going to a Braves or UGA/GaTech game).

It occurs to me there is a bright side here. Once the US. Is a Third World country most of these illegals will go home and no one will want to come here.

The author gets it right.

It's because Boehner and McConnell are not leading the GOP in a direction that supports the base of the GOP.

They are definitely politicians who want to choose their constituents, and the chosen constituents are not us.

Because they don’t want a runaway election.
So I they don’t have to do anything.

They want a “measured win”, so they can develop excuses.

Because the leadership thinks Jeb Bush is the next president. Democrat lite is what they are.

Because the democrats are douches, the republicans are turds, and America is screwed.

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

No, a sizeable number of them will stay home because Perdue doesn't stand for anything. The bland part is for the undecideds. Perdue, like many other Republican candidates nationwide, is not running a campaign based on principles and honesty.

Are conservatives down there so stupid that they need “excitement” in order to prevent a certain Obama senate candidate from winning?

We need PASSION from Republican candidates. There is no passion or articulation among Republican candidates. Why would I get up off my ass to vote for them, if they're going to spout the same statist platitudes as their opponents?

“I don’t know why Larry is so stubborn about it.”

Because he’s an elitist, a Citizen of the World. A treasonous fool who thinks the country should not have borders. Like the late unlamented Robert Bartley of the Wall Street Journal Kudlow thinks there ought to another Amendment to the Constitution saying “There Shall Be Open Borders”.

Someone once accused Larry of patriotism but the charge was laughed out of court.

Kind of hard to run away with elections when you stomp on the base of your party, and keep grinding your heel.
