Democrat meltdown begins as loss of Senate looms larger

With Republican chances improving by the day to take over the Senate, national Democrats have already begun the time honored tradition of blaming everyone but themselves for defeat.

The goal; get into the press first with your denial of responsibility and then when catastrophe strikes on election day, you can say "I told ya so" and retreat with little blame attached. It doesn't always work, but it's better than the alternative.

We saw Republicans engage in this feces flinging in the weeks before the elections of 2008 and 2012. Now, it is apparently the turn of the Democrats.

The finger pointing began in earnest last week, says The Hill:

Democrats are starting to play the blame game as they face the possibility of losing the Senate in November.

Tempers are running high a month out from Election Day, with polls showing Democratic candidates trailing in the crucial battleground states that will decide whether the Congress flips to Republican control.

ADVERTISEMENT The behind-the-scenes tension broke into the open last week when former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) questioned Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) decision not to endorse Democrat Rick Weiland in South Dakota’s Senate race.

Pro-immigrant advocacy groups, meanwhile, are saying Democrats should not blame them if Hispanic voters don’t turn up to the polls on Election Day. They say President Obama made a tactical blunder by postponing an executive order easing deportations.

And grassroots organizers are grumbling about Alison Lundergan Grimes’s bid to take down Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), arguing her campaign has been disorganized.

just who are the Dems going to lose to?

If the "official" Democrats lose the Senate ...

then you already KNOW that their "half-brothers" (Mitch "Limp" McConnell, et al) will GLADLY vote for Obama's socialist agenda ...

That's why Obama keeps smiling ... "that" ... and thinking about his next Thursday night date with Reggie Love ...

Democrats NEVER lose an election:

1) It was stolen —2000 election Bush/Gore

2) Americans are voting against their economic interests—Bush 2004

3) FAUX News/ Extreme Right wing radio/ non-government, corporate controlled internet blogs fooled people —2010

All above are quotes from the lefties I know.

What we don’t know is how the DNC will use the Federal government to suppress voter turnout based on race, again.

loss of Senate looms larger

It won't change a thing.

The only problem with this is that the moment the RINOs take over they will vear left to pander to minorities and go full whore for Corporations that will turn off the right. Giving control right back to the rats in two years.

That is why IMHO the Repubs haven’t pushed actually what they will do once in charge.

The Democrats aren't going to lose anything!
The "Republicans" will cooperate with the Democrats on everything the Democrats want! The "Republicans" are just itching to be seen as "bipartisan" and "not mean spirited" and as true blue (or is it red these days?) believers in "diversity" and "change."
All Hail Barack "Ebola" Obama!!
May The Disease Be With You.

...some Democrats are eyeing potential scapegoats: Obama’s low approval rating; low turnout from Hispanic voters; overly centrist messaging; and the media, to name just a few.

Good grief - "overly centrist messaging"? This, in the days of gay marriage, medicine socialized by force, transsexual chic, disaster-breeding Middle East policy, and incessant, 150-beat-per-minute racism drum-pounding? There may be a lot of problems with the current Democrat message, outright fascism for example, but one of them is not too much centrism.

If we win it back and I’m still not putting money on it I hope they have a special showing of Mitch taking the gavel out of Dingy’s cold dead hands. LOL!

[EternalVigilance]

Moran shouldn’t be counting his RINO victories before they’re hatched.

[EQAndyBuzz]

When was the last year Republicans had the majority in the Senate?

[centurion316]

As you can see from the early posts on this thread, there are many Freepers very upset to read this. Distraught, upset, at a loss for words, in denial. They have forgotten that when Democrats lose, that’s good. We can sort out all the rest later.

If the "official" Democrats lose the Senate ... then you already KNOW that their "half-brothers" (Mitch "Limp" McConnell, et al) will GLADLY vote for Obama's socialist agenda ...

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

And then there’s John McCain saying what will happen if the Republicans win the Senate: “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

So tell me again how much better off we'll be voting for the Uniparty RINOcrats.

This will likely tick some folks off, but *someone* needs to say it...

If Ky voters re-elect McConnell, then the rest of the known universe will be well justified in regarding each and every one of them as moonshine-drunk, meth-addled barely functioning mental-midgets.

So, Attention Ky voters: You have a shining opportunity to redeem yourselves. Seize the chance! Lead by example!! Send McConnell packing!! We can only cheer you on - it’s *your* fight! *You’ve* got to get it done!

Your future Majority leader wants to punch conservatives in the face...and work to make NeroCare better. All while spreading the pork around.

Remind me again who was the sellout in last year’s budget stand off over NeroCare.

Oh yeah, that was bitchy Mitch. Who also got a nice 3 Million dollar bridge project for his sellout

There is no working with that!

[RIghtwardHo]

And yet I just read two articles with polls to back it up (several in fact) that said the Dims are now favored to keep it.
