I watched Washington Week in Review after the 1994 Midterm Dem Debacle. After registering shock, show participants sat looking at each other in silence, then started looking at the doors. I think they were expecting Newt's Nazis to kick in the doors and start beating them up.

We have to thank Obamacare and Ebola. They had a big hand in opening people's eyes to the evil and incompetence of Hussein.

Who-da-thunk-it that overwhelming the system would overwhelm him?

I still fear for the grandchildren...Obammy should have never been elected. In 20 or 25 years this country will be in a one helluva mess....worse than it is now.

It’s amazing, but this really does seem to be the mindset of the left. I say this as someone who was a self-identified liberal when I was younger. The start of my journey to conservatism was seeing Gingrich speak when I was an intern for a Dem Rep on Capitol Hill.

Just like in 2010, if the Republican leadership does not change then this is all sort of pointless.

Sorry to be a downer.

It’s a good thing they voted to legalize pot in Washington, DC. They’re going to need it. LOL!

Obama’s Surgeon General is going to be whisked through the Senate.

You are so right. After all, I am not a republican. I am a constitutionist, a tea party conservative, a libertarian to some extent.

The Republican elites hate the tea party more than the Democrats. This is the problem. They see the real reformers, the Palins, the Pauls, the Cruzes who will step on their party cake. They don’t REALLY want to STOP spending all that fun money -Pork is Fun!. They just have better ideas for that cookie jar. They don’t want to have responsible immigration. They want to open those gates too. They like to have people to “use” just as much as the Democrats do.

We need to hold them to the fire. Sarah Palin style. Reform. Clean house. Put the crooks in jail and give the people the fruits of their labors and the bounty of their state and the personal freedom they are entitled to. And it’s NOT going to happen, because the powerful protect the powerful. It’s all about the 1%, and we have them too.

I see that this post has attracted the usual smattering of FR hand-wringers and defeatists.

Waaaaaahhhhhh!
