Helping to shape the environment early is a lesson learned from 2012 that we applied, along with many others, effectively in 2014, said Rob Engstrom, national political director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has so far spent nearly $2.7 million in six Senate contests across the country. Its no longer Election Day, its election year.
Of the millions the Chamber has spent, almost all of it has gone toward positive advertising on GOP incumbents or candidates including Sens. Mark S. Kirk of Illinois, Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and John McCain of Arizona. Kirk, Toomey and Ayotte all face re-election in states Obama won twice.

Note that all four are big supporters of crony capitalism.
F.u. crony capitalists.
Yep on all points!
I have been getting at least one letter in the mail every day to donate to NRSC. Never have and certainly won’t do so now.
Translation: GOPe playing defense against the base in the Senate primaries.
I dont know how possible this is but consider the following. If patriots can elect 2/3 conservative majorities to both Houses of Congress in 2016, then Congress will have the power to override presidential vetoes (1.7.2). And if such was the case, then for many purposes it wouldnt matter who gets elected president in 2016 because Congress would be running the country.
But Ill also point out that one of the very few powers concerning domestic issues that the states have actually delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, is the power to regulate the US Mail Service (1.8.7), most other federal spending / regulatory programs unconstitutional imo. So maybe patriots could work with a conservative Congress to peacefully force Congress to surrender 10th Amendment-protected powers that the feds have been stealing from the states for the last 60+ years back to the states.
Thats basically the bottom line. They vote to pass unconstitutional bills that give their states unconstitutional funding.
You can tell the GOPe is peeing their pants...
They know that now we know that they can’t pull the wool over our eyes anymore and we are going to call them on it...
Thanks Trump/Cruz 2016

We once had both houses AND the president, something we were told over and over again, is what we needed, and what happened? More liberalism.
I remember when Newt lost the house. The reason he lost was because they decided not to campaign on issues...The Reason? Because Newt said history dictated that the party in power, stayed in power...He forgot to tell the voters.
Republicans Spending Early to Boost Chances to Keep SenateThe article says:
