Has anyone figured out what the 2014 election results really meant? I was under the impression that Americans had grown ever more disheartened with what our nation has become. Turnout at the polls made it seem that voters wanted to rebuild the nation given us by the Founders. Historic gains were made by Republican candidates, promises were made and the excessive actions of the Democrat Party would be blunted as the citizenry exclaimed “No More!”
I have been a proud card carrying Republican since I first voted. Based on what I learned in school, their platform made sense. I have traveled to many parts of this world while in the military and can honestly say that I have found nothing, NOTHING, better than what we have here. In fact, no one can begin to equal 250 years of American accomplishment. We were promised that when Republicans took both Houses of Congress, things would change; that we might be able to get some things done and see sunlight at the end of a long dark period of subjugation to a Marxist president and power hungry congressional leadership.
Obama, our narcissist in chief proclaimed for all to hear that he would take action on illegal immigration, without Congress. In my opinion, his would be a totally unconstitutional action, creating chaos in this country and slamming the Black middle class the hardest. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the next majority leader, and John Boehner both made waves, vowing to fight Obama to the end on this subject. McConnell promised voters:
“When the newly elected representatives take their seats, they will act.”
Naturally, Republicans were divided. Congress pursued the “CRomnibus” keeping the Department of Homeland Security funded until Feb 29 and the rest of government rest fully funded. But not all Republicans agreed, some wanting to...

I support Ted Cruz.
I support acing out Boner, McConnell, Prince Rebus.
You have no basis for your comment.
Touched a nerve did I.
Thanks, good info.
That picture?
Three stooges that will vote for Hilliary because she has a...well because there are rumors she is a woman.
But so is Bruce Jenner.
That picture?
Three people that brought us Obama as president.
Because he’s black.
Looks like it will happen again if Hilliary actually is the candidate.
You clearly aren't paying attention.
Are you saying it is better for Democrats to hold the Senate?
Who do you support?
Thus far, there's been no difference, so I'm saying it really don't matter. If you had been paying attention since the 2014 election, you'd understand, and wouldn't need to ask moronic questions.
Does all that make a bit of difference?
Not really.
My DREAM ticket would be Cruz/West, HOWEVER I would like Cruz/Walker.
I agree.
Cruz West would be great.
Cruz Walker as well.
Even Walker Cruz, or Walker West.
I thought you might be one of those calling Walker GOPe.
Glad to see you’re not.
Walker needs to be more consistent.
Thanks.
I don’t agree but understand how people can think that.
I think that your view is not a political view.
Politics is cheap and dirty.
In a broader context, outside of politics, your idea that it doesn’t make a difference is more true. For example the character of our citizenry is more important and a difference maker.
I hear that, but his record is real.
I remember the recall and demonstrations.
And I remember how Sarah Palin went to Wisconsin and stood with him and by him and made a great speech.
And Walker defeated all that corrupt liberal establishment could throw at him.
And he won and after he won he has changed the laws that were robbing the people of Wisconsin blind and bankrupting the State.
It’s pretty amazing. And he did it all with no help from GOPe as far as I know.
It would seem to be that Cruz as President maybe Walker should be Senate Majority leader.
My personal issue is the GOP talks the talk during elections and then ignores the values when they get elected. Fool me several dozen times and it gets to be shame on me. Case in point the Pacific Trade agreement. Who’s side are the R-clowns on?
It’s come to the point that I will not participate in the charade any longer. I’d rather not vote than vote for what they used to stand for.
“My personal issue is the GOP talks the talk during elections and then ignores the values when they get elected.”
True.
It is both a fraud and or failure on their part, but also part and parcel of politics.
Politics is dirty and low.
