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.
“The reason is that the Republicans and the GOPe don’t stand for anything.”
They actual do stand for collectivism like the Dems but differ slightly on how it should be implemented.
This is the primary reason why the Republicans will fail to take the Senate and may lose House seats.
Just take a look at the Senate race in GA as a prime example. Perdue refuses to go nuclear on his opponent, the daughter of Sam Nunn. Just bland ad after ad of saying Nunn will be a vote for Obama. Nothing about what Perdue will do for GA, no clear articulation of conservative principles and denouncing Obama's agenda.
Correctamundo. On top of that, every candidate has been running against Obama. I believe that is a mistake. Instead, they should be running against the liberal policies that has gotten us into this mess. Obama hasn't failed. He has succeeded tremendously in implementing the policies liberals have wanted for decades. The issue that needs to be driven home again and again is that it is these policies that have failed.
The GOP has been handed this golden opportunity to once and for all repudiate the liberalism of the 60s and 70s. Yet instead, they are going after the man America elected to implement these policies instead of pointing out the failure of the policies themselves.
GOPe scum...all we need to know.
Because the democrats are douches, the republicans are turds, and America is screwed.
