More DOOM! from the polls. This time it’s Gallup.
redstate.com ^ | 9/12/14 | Jake

Yesterday, Gallup released a poll showing a few things, and none of them are good for Democrats.* The first is that Republicans had expanded their lead over Democrats as the party people believe is best equipped to protect the United States from terrorism:

The Republicans’ lead over the Democrats on the question of terrorism is, as you can see, at historic levels. Not since the poll began has the GOP’s lead been this large. As RedState’s Dear Leader Erick Erickson notes, this is what happens when you don’t have a coherent anti-terrorism strategy:

At the beginning of this year, President Obama referred to ISIS as junior varsity. Later in the year he declared them amateurs. Less than three weeks ago the President said he had no strategy to combat ISIS. Less than two weeks ago, President Obama referred to the non-ISIS rebels in Syria as farmers incapable of leading the resistance against ISIS. This past Wednesday night, President Obama’s bold new strategy is to arm the very rebels he says are incapable of leading resistance to ISIS.

They don't defend the Constitution because they don't support the Constitution. The Constitution limits the size, scope, and authority of the government. They want to expand the size, scope and power of the government without limit. They are enemies of the Constitution.

Out of office will not suffice. Flies always return to the pile of sh...er...Obamastuff.

It’s the guillotine.

No, this is what happens when you have a pro-jihadi president. See Carter, James Earl.

A question I continue to ask about the upcoming elections: Republicans have held majorities in both chambers of Congress within recent memory (e.g., George W. Bush administration), and constantly rolled-over for the Democrats. What makes anyone think that winning majorities in both chambers in 2016 will change that behavior?

Anything less than indictment, trial, conviction, and sentencing demonicrats to hang is still better news than demonicrats deserve.

I agree with you.....that is why every American voter, regardless of political stripe, should vote agains every single Democrat running for election this coming November, 2014. The Democrat Party must be totally destroyed, politically on November 4, 2014.

Simple...folks....ya wipe the Dempcrat Party politically, from the face of the earth, and with it, the real problem....Barack Hussein (Muslim Brotherhood, Adoree) Obama!!! Coalition...you say.....what coalition....there is none.....Why”.....Obama lies, and no world leader trusts him!!!

We will be engaged in a long cold war with the forces of radical Islam much as we were with Communism. This will not end any time soon. Hence, isolationism and a downsized military are not viable options. The GOP has traditionally been seen as the stronger party on national security which is now becoming front and center. However, changing demographic factors as well as the increasing number of Americans on the dole will continue to benefit the Dems.

Yes, but they will be replaced by clueless, big government false conservatives. Just trying to keep it real.

I don't think anyone on this board believes that electing a Republican Senate, and thus holding both chambers of Congress, will lead to any change whatsoever, especially if Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are the leaders.

What is hoped for, what is prayed for, is that Republican majorities in both Houses acts as a tourniquet to the damage Obama and the Democrats have heaped upon this country.

EXACTLY.

They will have 2 years to make a difference. If Republicans govern as Democrats the big election of 2016 will see them swept from office in historic numbers. We will then have to endure 8 years of Hillary, Reid, and whatever monster they come up with in the House.

What is won by Republicans taking the Senate is preventing Reid and O’bastard would have done.

The only think worse than a liberal in the democratic party is a liberal in the republican party. This is why I’ll be voting for Grimes. This will be my first vote for a democrat since I voted for Dixie Lee Ray back in 1972.

Cleaning out the party is a higher priority than gaining the senate, since, if all we do is gain the senate with RINOs, all we’ve done is return to the earlier bush years.

Can’t stand McConnell....but gotta disagree with your voting plan!!! Anyone of any political stripe that votes for any Democrat running for election this November is voting for the immediate destruction of the American Republic!!! To me....your equation is just the opposite of what you are advocating. IMHO....we “MUST” get rid of the entire Democrat Party and Obama, politically....and then boot out all the RINOs, low lifes in the Republican Party!!! Obama is both an enemy and hater of the American Republic!!! And....he (Obama) is no African-American either....he is a devoted, adoree of his Muslim Brotherhood?ISIS brethren...period!!! First broom all the Democrats, and then broom all the RINOs!!! Voting for any Democrat this election cycle is like slitting your own throat, IMHO!!!

Thing is, I think the republic is doomed no matter WHO gets elected. My tag line is just the start of it. As I said to one democrat: Sure, obama is an idiot, but the incompetent one is merely the icing being placed on a doom cake that baked for decades. He is the perfect symbol to be in office when the whole thing collapses.

He is the punctuation mark for the collapse of the greatest empire the world has ever known.

Yeah, cuban Castro leaf, you are another know-it-all libertarian with about as much of a strategy to win elections as Obama himself has to beat ISIS.

By your logic you would sell your loyalty to Satan thinking that by doing so you were somehow hastening the return of Jesus Christ.
