Meet the haters.
We’re talking about the voters who’ve had it with all Washington politicians: President Obama, congressional Republicans and congressional Democrats. Despite their distaste for, well, everyone, when push comes to shove, these voters are lining up squarely behind GOP candidates for Congress.
It’s encouraging news for a Republican Party eyeing midterm elections now only about 11 months away. Why? Because it suggests the image problems the party’s congressional members have experienced — which have been worse than those suffered by Obama or congressional Democrats — don’t translate to a death knell at the ballot box.
Seventy-two percent of voters who disapprove of the job Obama, congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans are doing say they’d vote for the GOP candidate for U.S. House in their district if the election were held today, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday. Just 14 percent say they’d vote for the Democrat.

If the Republicans can’t come up with conservative candidates, expect more people to stay home.
Yup.
So sayeth the Washington Compost.
BUT, what they said flies in the face of reality. In the Primary, RINO season is truly OPEN, and there is no bag limit. Past that? It is up to the GOPe. If they want a real war, they can certainly have one. I am a loyal GOP voter. Have been all my life. But I know a despot when I see one, I can smell them. Any am direct in telling them what I think.
No, no I'm not. I'm trying to get Cornyn primaried and regardless of how that works out, I'm not voting for Cornyn ever again.

Thanks Libloather.
Translation: Wahhhhhhhhhhhh! Mommy!
They have a point. I hate Sean Sullivan, Scott Clement and the Washington Post.
Besides "who else they gonna vote for?"
Birth of Obamacare overshadowed GOPs negatives.
All the haters I ever see are Democrats
Haters, meet the Haters!
There a page right out of his-tor-y.
>> these voters are lining up squarely behind GOP candidates for Congress <<
Yeah, I think the Washington Compost has a little trouble with terminology, “conventional wisdom” and their agenda-driven dfalse narrative.
The RATagandists are trying to persuade the public that the TEAparty is dead, and that anyone running under a Republican brand should be labelled as GOP.
The WaPo would of course rather help RATs than RINOs, but when TEApublicans enter the conversation...RINOS RULE!
Me too.
The republicans don't feel they need to waste energy earning votes.
Besides "who else they gonna vote for?"
Waste my vote on the Whigs? Not bluiddy likely!
You mean the KKK, the Neo-Nazis, the Skinheads, the Segregationists, the Union-Thugs, the militant vegetarians...all traditional RATs are going to vote Republican? What about the Mooselimbs?
Ah yes, but it's 11 months to the election (roughly), and Obamacare is NOT going to be getting any easier to swallow.
Sean and Scott — projecting hatred courtesy of WaPo.
None of the above will win hands down.
If amnesty is passed next year, and I believe it will be, voting is a waste of time. The country is dying and giving birth to an new banana republic ruled by despots and their corporate collaborators and nothing short of revolution can save it. BTW revolution is useless given the growing hostility to civilians in the military and police leadership. They will happily kill any one open revolt.
We will all be slaves soon
