Interesting take. The author could have referenced the 1948 presidential election for a precedent.

The “prevent defense” always used to drive me crazy too. Madden is right! BOOM!

. . . spent most of the year defending the sequester spending cuts before they were foolishly thrown away at the end of the year . . . That's the moment I lost it with Paul Ryan: Snookered into this "compromise" by the dumbest member of the U.S. Senate, Particia Bin Murray.
This, after he lost a debate to Joe Biden in 2012.

Who gives a damn anyway. America is almost finished and the next couple of years will finish destroying to a point that it would take generations to correct. And that depends if we do not elect more of the same rotten politicians that are so corrupt it make a bank robber look tame.

I'd like to see something like the 1994 "Contract with America", but we don't have anyone in the House with the brains, strategic thinking, communications skills and pure moxie that Gingrich had. Our bench is weak there.
In the Senate, we have Cruz, Lee and Paul, but we would need someone like Palin with the communications skills to put it across.

If anyone can screw this up, the GOP can. They have a lot of practice in this area.

the prevent defense strategy is a huge improvement over the “give them what they want so they don’t say bad things about us” strategy used so far.

Only when liberal republicans are utterly and completely politically destroyed, can the US have conservative governance.
You can get rid of the liberals from one party, and that party ain't the Dems.

You’re right. Besides, the consensus among many people who should know is the economy will collapse in 2015. That will be a game changer.

Just keep sending Mitt Romney on all the talk shows.
That won’t supress anything.

It's the midterm election of a second term presidency, the party out of the White House is SUPPOSED to make considerable gains, but at the rate things a going the GOP won't even fair as well as the Democrats did in 1986 and that was against Reagan near the height of his popularity.

I agree with many of the posters, I so expect the GOP to muck it up and not take the Senate.

You aren't crazy. America is starving for real conservative action, in word and deed.
Unfortunately, we only have Dems and Pubs.
