Voters are set to hand Republicans "the rock"

For those of you, who perhaps aren't dialed into the onset of Football season and all the terminology appurtenant to it, "the rock" is slang for the football. Polls confirm that voters are set to hand the Republican party "the rock" - i.e., take the ball away from Democrats.

Each day it looks more like an avalanche for the Pachyderms, although, as I note in today's post, the GOP can always be counted on to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If you're strongly of the sentiment that Republicans embody everything that is virtuous on the political scene, then such news is no doubt euphoric.

If, on the other hand, you reserve a healthy sense of cynicism for politicians, who seduce the masses with their tongues, but who actually march to a different set of commands from the hierarchy of special interests, then maybe it doesn't seem time to hang the "Mission Accomplished" banner just yet.

Which is the point of my article. Politicians can and do say anything they think is music to your ears, but unless you can afford to put a full time Private Investigator on their tail, you don't really know what larceny they are engaged in. Therefore, "trust but verify".

No - scratch that. Don't trust, just verify.

I finally understand the strategery of the GOP-wing of the Democrat Party... let things get so bad that people just want to vote the “ins” out.

Reagan Republicans won’t fumble “the rock”. The establishment Republicans will almost certainly fumble it.

The only interest I have is a mild curiosity as to just what the moron half a fag republicans are going to do with “the rock” when they get it.

It will be amazing if the HOR stays on-target constitutional conservative if RINO backstabbers set the agenda in the US Senate. Look how Ryan compromised away the budget when given the opportunity.

And I bet you the GOP has already fumbled it.

I will still vote Republican particularly if one of them happens to be a “Tea Party” (meaning “conservative”) type. On the other hand, I WILL NOT give one damn dime to help a “RHINO” who is only interested in keeping his/her cushy job and the “bennies” that go with the job.

NOTE to RHINO’s: If you aren’t conservative and do not support me, I will NOT vote for you,PERIOD!

Was that ruled a fumble or was the ball down at the time the
holder made contact with the ground?

The RINOs on the 1 yard line aren’t likely to advance the ball.

Didn’t matter, it was a botched FG attempt.

I think it was about this time two years ago when a lot of pollsters began predicting a Romney landslide. I don’t believe pollsters anymore.

Yea, wasn’t thinking as it was a snap for either a FG or PAT.

The establishment f-tards wont even catch ‘the rock’. They’ll get hit in the head with it with a response of “duhhhhh”
