Why Aren’t the Republicans Running Away with the Midterm Election?

The reason is that the Republicans and the GOPe don't stand for anything. They have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that will just give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.

Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.

You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:

The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate

Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.

The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.

Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.

It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.

I’m pretty sure that BIG business and the Chamber of Commerce going over to the Dark Side has a lot to do with it.

For a very simple reason. More than half of all Americans are socialists. Thank goodness they don’t all vote.

Because the election doesn't take place until Nov. 4......and everything leading up to it is purely speculation by people who make their money speculating on these elections.

Conservatives had their chance in the primaries to get rid of these people, and instead we blew virtually every race on trying to be cute.

This article should be why WE didn’t run away with anything. Where was our big money? Where was our GOTV effort? It wasn’t Karl Rove working dirty tricks, it was conservatives not taking most of the election nearly as serious and thinking that just the notion of conservatism itself would scare RINOs into a corner.

But hey, we will teach the RINOs for actually being far more determined and committed than we by potentially tossing the Senate to the Dems and then spending the next two years bitching and moaning about how no one listens to us.

Heard on Howard Kurtz: From September 1 to October 20, ABC Nightly News did exactly zero stories about the midterm elections.

More here.

as long as there is machine vote counting the democrat bureaucrats that control the vote count will never let the Republicans win again.

Larry Kudlow was super enthusiastic about a big Republican win this election. I didn't get what he expected to happen after that. He's big on immigration but if he said anything about it this time round, I didn't hear it.

ABC is pimping for Jeb Bush today. That's it. The candidates for 2016 are already picked. Hillary and Jeb. Jeb can't win with that last name. Hillary, unfortunately, can win with that last name because her husband is popular among much of the public again.

I hope this doesn't play out as it looks today. A lot can happen before Nov 2016.

Because the pollsters have to count Democrat fraud into their numbers.

Because they stand for nothing, and run from the immigration issue

Why? Because they're half Dim to begin with!

Genius RNC rebranding has given us 2 DNC parties.

The GOP-e would boo God too, if they thought for a second they could get away with it!

Because the GOP doesn’t stand for anything except amnesty. It’s the only issue they’ve consistently pushed for over a decade.

They simply wait for people to get tired of the Democrats so they can take their turn looting the treasury.

Things are not as gloomy as they might appear. It is with metaphysical certitude that I predict Republicans retaining every Senate seat they occupy that is not subject to mid-term election..............
