Obama Pushes Dems Into Midterm Meltdown
Radix News ^ | October 7, 2014 | David Limbaugh

Posted on 10/07/2014 9:48:24 AM PDT by Abakumov

Democrats are panicking, and rightly so. Going into the November congressional elections, voter opposition to Obama is worse than it was for George W. Bush and for Bill Clinton at their respective six-year marks, and Democrats can’t unyoke themselves from him.

It’s not just that Gallup’s latest polls show Obama’s policies are unpopular but that voters are planning to make a statement to that effect in November. Since 1998, Gallup has included a question to determine whether the voters are intending to use their vote to “send a message” that they either support or oppose the sitting president.

Gallup found that 32 percent of voters want their vote to communicate their opposition to Obama, whereas only 20 percent want it to reflect their support for him. This is the highest such “no vote” for a sitting president in the past 16 years.

I don’t know why democrats should be panicking. As a Party the GOP has done absolutely nothing to motivate it’s base to get out on election day and support their candidates. Instead it has gone out of it’s way to attack, insult and anger it’s base. There will be no Wave this year and I predict Harry Reid will stay right where he is as Majority Leader.

Add to that the 5% that are pissed off at Obama, but are too scared to answer the poll question.

The Dems can pull out an election anytime they wish simply by proposing student loan forgiveness.

Conflicting reports, to be sure. This article says that the Democrats are in panic, but another indicates that they are surging (I think it was actually MSNBC that is saying this, so consider the source). But taking the Senate seems unlikely at this point as the GOP has shown little or no interest in actually winning it.

Voter fraud on the Left will take care of that 5%.

We’ll see about the Senate. Strange things going on in KS and KY. But good news elsewhere. It would be funny if MN turned sane and Al Franken was sent back to the comedy clubs. Wait, he’s in a comedy club now!

Yeah, here in Colorado our Republican senate candidate is kicking butt just for the fun of it. He is running an excellent campaign just for the hell of it.

This @sshole is also allowing ISIS to commit genocide against the Kurds, Christians and other groups. The dimoKKKRATS have blood on their hands.

The Kurds have been willing to fight but Obama fails to arm them. What a pathetic POS this guy is.

It’s attitudes like that that keep the GOPe from ever becoming the Majority Party!

How dare you keep them from their rightful place at the trough?

Question: Who does a Democrat vote for when they are disgruntled with the current Democrats.

Answer: The next Democrat they get a chance to vote for.

This will all come down to turnout.

Michelle Obama had been scheduled to traverse the campaign trail to save the day for Democrats.

Now the word is she's staying put---says she's miffed about kids eating potatoes and b/c her school lunch dictum to add kale to school diets went over like a lead balloon....so she's using that as the reason not to campaign for Democrats.

====================================================

The truth is despite the endless PR hyping her fashionable First Ladyship with an eye to running for office ala Hillary....Mrs O is a huge political liability.

An unnamed Democrat strategist gently alluded to the possibility that nervous Democratic candidates just don’t want the first lady around.

=========================================

BTW---where's the (ahem) "front-running" 2016 Dem candidate?

Haven't seen Hillary using her (gag) popularity to help Dems on the increasingly unfriendly Dummycrat campaign trail.

Guess she figures they'll all be gone---so why bother (cackle)

Although he won’t do it with my vote, I believe Harry’s Bitch will pull it out here. Grimes is not running a good campaign. Partly because so much of her lying is so obvious...to both sides. But the Dems are all for her lying if it gets her elected because they know she will do the opposite.

BILL CLINTON WAS IN ARKANSAS---ESCUING DEMOCRATS FROM OBAMA: "I'd like to think about our future, I'd like to think about what would be the best for our children and grandchildren..." Bill whined.

(Sniffle) That's so sweet---Billy's making a last ditch effort....using the Dems' tried-and-true "Heart of Gold strategy." (sob)

"Heart of Gold strategy" means Dems will suck-up to anything that moves.

Everybody is familiar w/ the lovable "heart of gold prostitute" in Hollywood movies......."Sweet Charity" and that type.

The DNC is providing Dem candidates w/ the handy pocket book: "The Prostitute's Manual To Having A Heart of Gold." Foreword by Bill Clinton.

=====================================================

Billy Clinton sucked up bigtime, to get "the women's vote" for desperate Dem Mark Pryor.

Mmmmm....that's so typical....the last refuge of a scoundrel.....a woman's vagina.

Arkansas women should ask themselves:

"Would you want this guy Pryor messing w/ your vagina?"

Agreed. There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between them and dimmos regarding the moral issues, the only issues that can turn God’s wrath away from us.
