Ok. We get it. Democrats very bad. Evil.

But what is the GOP vision, plan for Americans if they take the senate
and maintain the house?

What have they promised to do if given power?

Go back to their usual state of inertia, while quietly grumbling about the "good old days" of responsibility-free minority status.

LOL. So true.

Also, don’t forget if the GOP takes the senate, the 14 gangsters will
raise their monkey wrench heads again to clog up any conservative
issues.

I cannot see how any American that loves our country could ever vote this evil man, Obama.

Or stay home because the candidate isn't a pure enough conservative or because he's the wrong religion.

We, the people, can effectively remove him from office, if only we will turn out to vote against every single Democrat running for office this year, across the entire country!!!

I'm with you but so many of our fellow citizens - not here on FR - seem not to give a damn, or are still under the Dem / MSM spell.

To paraphrase Mittens: “Gee whiz. I didn’t think it would be this bad.” If mittens couldn’t see it after the first 4 years, then his powers of observation are sorely lacking.

Yet still a big improvement over McCain's "you have nothing to fear from this guy being President".

As opposed to Republican operatives, including some who post here, who are actively attacking conservatives and working to re-elect Obama’s key enablers, which helps the Democrats.

That sword cuts both ways.

Certainly true, but in their case they are proving that they are willing to do anything to gain and hold political power, just like the Democrats. The conservative purists are proving that they will do anything to prevent the rise of political power amongst conservatives. It isn’t their intent, I understand, but it is the effect.

Obama is scheduled to Man-Hug Republican turned Independent turned Uber Liberal Democrat and Florida Gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Crist, when Obama visits Miami.

Debbie W. S. may try to squeeze in the middle of that Man-Love Fest.

Just wondering how that will play out...

[Addendum to above]

The dems elected 0 to use his color so the race card would play against any argument from the right. This also allowed every member of the administration who is not white to scream 'Racism!' in order to demonize their political opposition.

Yeah, I preach to the choir--but it's for the newbies here to pick up on...

Don’t forget that many conservatives, including long time members of this forum, are actively working to help the Democrats and will, in some cases, vote for them in November. They could make a different in up to three races.

Yep...it's dismaying how many idiotic FReepers are saying they'll shoot themselves in the foot in November, allowing Harry Reid to retain his stranglehold.

There are quite a few fools around here.

Not enough panic.

they are scared enough to banish Obama.

REAL panic would be turning on each other.

complete breakdown would be attempting changing parties. The GOP leadership better have some admission rules.

Yep, not too worry you dimmos- with multiple voting, dead voters, illegals, and the black panthers safeguarding the polls the GOP will lose a few seats I reckon.

You know...what...honestly...I cannot answer your questions with certain assurance. I believe in fighting for one thing at a time....and this time it is making Obama into a total non-functioning POTUS!!!

I would hope that the Pubbies would tackle, protecting the nation, improving the economy, lowering unemployment, better education, strong foreign policy, tax revision, easing goverment rules & regulations, immigration, race relations, etc., etc.

Having said that IMHO...I really believe that just a massive political wipeout of the Democrat Party as the first blow....would have a major positive impact on both the economy and the positive morale of the total American people!!!

And......we could then begin to do, what so many American Blacks & Hispanics that believe in America...and there are millions of them, want us to do,...which is to get in there and attack the basic problems of culture and assimilation into general American society, which actually, million of them have already achieved. And....stop using them as “Political Pawns” to be abused by a “collective” society of evil, greedy and power hungryObamabot type politicians and, would be, people destroyers!!! We got lots to do IMHO, on many fronts!!!

The GOPe will be power sharing. Not one dime’s worth of difference.

While I respect everyone's principles for not voting for someone, I tend to agree with you. As I posted on another thread a little over a month ago, we need to get rid of Dirty Harry and I'm worried about the 2016 elections:

While we have RINOs, it makes a difference in more than one way if the Pubbies gain a majority. First, at least some of the bills passed by the House will be put up for a vote in the Senate - Dingy Harry is blocking them all now. Second, Ginsberg and possibly another SCOTUS will retire.

And, the one not many mention is that there are going to be a lot more R Senators (22) up for election in 2016 than D Senators (10) (not including the 3 special elections - Hawaii, SC and OK). Here’s the list:

DEMOCRATS

Michael Bennet (Colorado)

Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut)

Barbara Boxer (California)

Patrick Leahy (Vermont)

Joe Manchin (West Virginia)

Barbara Mikulski (Maryland)

Patty Murray (Washington)

Harry Reid (Nevada)

Charles Schumer (New York)

Ron Wyden (Oregon)

REPUBLICANS

Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire)

Roy Blunt (Missouri)

John Boozman (Arkansas)

Richard Burr (North Carolina)

Dan Coats (Indiana)

Tom Coburn (Oklahoma) – Retiring in 2014. Seat TBD in 2014 special election.

Mike Crapo (Idaho)

Chuck Grassley (Iowa)

John Hoeven (North Dakota)

Johnny Isakson (Georgia)

Ron Johnson (Wisconsin)

Mark Kirk (Illinois)

Mike Lee (Utah)

John McCain (Arizona)

Jerry Moran (Kansas)

Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)

Rand Paul (Kentucky)

Rob Portman (Ohio)

Marco Rubio (Florida)

Richard Shelby (Alabama)

John Thune (South Dakota)

Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania)

David Vitter (Louisiana)

Hawaii, Oklahoma and South Carolina each have one Senate seat TBD in 2014 Special Election. Winner of 2014 special election will be up for re-election in 2016.
