Obama Has Destroyed Dems on the Hill
Radix News ^ | October 31, 2014 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 10/30/2014 9:04:41 PM PDT by Abakumov

Whatever happens next Tuesday, President Obama’s time in office will have cost his party more seats in Congress than any president in at least half a century.

The numbers are stark. President Obama took office after the 2008 elections with 257 Democrats in the House of Representatives. At the moment, there are only 199 members of his party left — a net loss of 58 seats. And, virtually all analysts expect the number of Democrats to decline even more next Tuesday. The only question is by how much.

To put that number in perspective, the 58 seats already lost by the current president even tops the 46 lost by Richard Nixon amidst the Watergate scandal.

On the Senate side, the same trend is confirmed. Following the 2008 elections, the Democrats held 59 Senate seats. Expectations are that they will have between 45 and 50 following next week’s elections, a decline of 9 to 14 seats. Nixon’s Republicans lost six seats over the same time frame.

Yo Kartog... We better not get overconfident. We did in 2012 and were cursed with 4 more years of the current occupant of 1600 PA Ave. NW.

Ugg!!!

what are you talking about?

Obama wants to do what is best for the people
of Indonesia, and or hurt the Unites States.

at that, he seems to be successful.

President Nixon was a grown-up.

It's like high ranking nazis hastily removing their insignias and talking smack about the mustachioed one that started it all, and who they loved so much.

The following is from WallCheatSheet:

No.

The House can impeach, but no one can put together 67 Senate votes to convict, not going to happen.

It’s a huge loser polictically for Republicans.

Send Obama bills to veto, let to him whine, and find ways to submarine his executive orders. The people will turn against him even more as time goes on.

And pass a damn budget that cuts spending and abolishes some federal agencies, hah!! Dare HIM to shut the government down!

Happily, I think you’re both wrong. Obama has cashed his check. Bank on it.

Not far from the truth. 5 kids have died so far from the Enterovirus his illegal kid invasion brought in. Not a word from the press as they lick off the blood from the pages that should mention it. There are a bunch of other diseases as well. Even the bedbug invasion is due to his policies.

Completely concur it is best to *NOT* seek to impeach President Obama at this time.
If the elections go well next week, he will essentially be out to dry.
Republicans would be blasted by the Obama-loving media if an attempt was made to impeach him at this point...fortifying Democrats for 2016.

No. DemoCRAPS and their free welfare voter base have destroyed America. Final nail in the coffin? 10 MILLION ILLEGALS infected with the equivalent of the T virus. Time for some fumigation.

RIP AMERICA

The question is: "Do elections have consequences?"

If Congress is given a mandate from the people to change course in America, will they actually accept that responsibility, or will they cower before their almighty media and corporate masters and fail to do anything substantial to clean up the mess that Obama and his minions have created?

Your posting indicating we should NOT impeach is right in line with my thinking!

Why give Biden a chance to improve things before 2016? Better to just tie Obama’s hands with the budget and let people see how he constantly violates the laws and Constitution.
