Republican House Dominance Will Expand in 2014
Radix News ^ | October 27, 2014 | Michale Barone

Posted on 10/26/2014 9:14:22 PM PDT by Abakumov

In 2012, 226 House districts voted for Mitt Romney and only 209 for President Obama. That’s when Obama’s national job approval was 50 percent. Now it’s 41 percent. ...

The result is that Republicans are likely to gain House seats. A net gain of eight puts them at 242, the number they won in 2010 and their highest number since the election of 1946. A net gain of nine or more would give them their largest House majority in two-thirds of a century.

>>BS. There are more here trying to demoralize and persuade people not to vote. You sound like one of them.<<

Many think it is better that the democrats hold the Senate than Republicans who do do not pass the Conservative Purity Test be Senators.

How bad could that be? It only gave use us The New Deal, the Ponzi Scheme of Social Security and obozocare.

I think Purity is more important than the actual RESULT of voting or non-voting. We can see it in the these wonderful final policies.

OK? Does that mean that a bill will be introduced into congress to kill obamacare> That was the reason they won the House in 2010.

I see a Uniparty out there and its sad.

My GOP legislature and governor signed off on a 28 cent a gallon gas tax hike last year.

My Republican governor signed off on Obamacare in PA by approving Medicaid expansion.....

My Republican governor gave up fighting gay marriage in court.....

The health department of the Republican governor of this state is apparently giving Planned Parenthood advance notice of clinic inspections and backing off on asking them if their abortion doctors have admitting privileges at local hospitals.

TWO PREVIOUS GOVERNORS DID NOT INSPECT THE INFAMOUS ABORTION CLINIC OF KERMIT GOSNELL IN PHILLY. THE GRAND JURY SAID THAT POLITICS WAS INVOLVED......

Governor Tom Corbett looks more like a “Rat” to me......what’s the difference?

I see you have a case of the RINOs. You’re not alone.

So hang on until those of us in States that can correct this before you start crying face-down on your infant tall-seat, and trying to take the strong down with you in your pitifulness.

I’m as frustrated as you. But it makes no sense to throw away a vote.

Weed out the RINOS in the primaries is the key.

Give me a call the day after the Election.

Until then, these Unicorn pooping Skittles articles are a waste of time.

I worry that I might have thrown away my vote after writing in Stockman under Cornyn’s ballot spot. Probably shouldn’t have done that, I might be ‘provisional’ now?

Too bad the GOP doesn’t stand for much, other than being the alternate Big Government party to vote for when people get tired of Democrats.

Yes they may, but if the right controlled the house and the senate it will be hard for them to ignore the calls of the people. It will not matter if the will of the majority is decidedly on the right.

Sometimes just inflicting the will on the weaker of the right is easier when the majority is nearly solidly head right. Then the Boehner types can be forced into their places.

Are you like a Barry plant on FR? Why would you start this type of crap when it looks like the right may carry the day?

Then again, you get extra pay from your handlers anyway so it matters not how the election ends up... right??

I’ve seen the inside of the beast and it needs to be challenged.

Peter Hitchens in the UK explained it clearly when the described the big parties as tools of the “elites”.

Let me give you examples of how this works.

Sheldon Adelson gave Newt Gingrich tens of millions of dollars in 2012 so he could siphon off votes from conservative candidates to allow Mitt Romney to be the nominee.

The big money elite in my town includes a “Republican” billionaire who’s pumped money into the party and got two Republican congressman who called themselves “Pro-Life” to support funding Planned Parenthood in my lifetime.

They want everything liberal and they get their way when they buy the party and its candidates.

I think they do the same thing in TX too.....You’re pro-life bill includes a clause saying the 20 week abortion ban doesn’t apply if someone says it would impose an “undue burden” on them not to get an abortion.

I’ve been a conservative for 40 years and seen the liberal Republicans move this country further and further to the left along with the Dems.....Its time for things to change and 95 percent of elected Republicans don’t want that change...The Republicans won’t change anything for the better....Obamacare will not be reversed.....spending will continue to increase......taxes will increase......Paul Ryan created new taxes in his current budget plan the nation now operates under.

Perspective.

Texas is the almost last in the primary states for POTUS elections.

Perry and Cruz are running. If we don’t get behind Cruz NOW,
Perry will force him to drop out and Texans won’t even be able to vote for our Texas Constitution-restoring Senator.

Texas provides the Man to restore the Republic, and GOPe rules will have booted him before TX can vote for him.

You think you have it bad?

When Reagan won the TX primary in 1976 it was winner take all with 100 delegates boosting his campaign against Ford dramatically.

In 2012 the primary was rigged to be strictly proportional with less than 1 percent of the vote allowing any candidate to get one of the over 150 delegates.

You’ve got a RINO machine down there, too, hiding behind Rick Perry’s faux conservative acting.....

We’re working overtime to kill the RATS and RINOs we can.

Not easy when the RATS have a Battleground TX vote fraud mission against us....

No, it won't. The Republicans will lose the House in the November election--and the Democrats will keep the Senate.
