Excellent point.
“The majority is at risk,” an unnamed Republican strategist told Byron York earlier this week.
Absolutely. Nobody likes a loser and that’s all the beltway GOP leadership has done in the Age of Obama.
Massive voter fraud.
Class warfare
Racial warfare
Accuse Republicans of starving kids and throwing grandma in the street
Hey - it has worked for 40 years...
We should be more worried about the GOPe plans to give back the House to the Democrats
> “As my liberal colleague had predicted, the Obama electorate returned to save the president from the heartbreak of a single term.”
Wrong!

“In 2012, Obama defeated Romney by a 50% to 48% margin. Obama received 59.8 million votes, and Romney received 57.1 million votes — 2.7 million fewer than Obama in 2012, but also 2.8 million fewer than McCain in 2008.”
What sunk the GOP bid for the presidency in 2012 was the stay at home Perot bloc (6 million blue collared conservative whites).
[a Republican-engineered government shutdown could blow whatever good will with voters the party has left]
Let’s just become Democrats, that way we are sure to win by destroying the country. Paging Karl Rove.
No mas, GOP, no mas.
The ‘RATS have a secret weapon to take back the House. It’s called the GOP. It wasn’t a good idea for the GOP to throw their base under the bus. That “rebranding” they are about to get is really going to leave a mark.
Failure to do either will result in more of the same.
What difference does it make? The ‘pubs have control of the HOR and the purse strings and they won’t stand for anything.

What we should be doing right now is
1) Supporting all efforts to “true the vote” make sure election fraud is not so easy for Democrats
2) Support the full force of the law against those caught
What we should be doing in 2014
1) Support any way we can conservative candidates
2) Mobilize the base. You never see Democrats “reaching out” they work on getting their base out not on convincing conservatives to change. It is a waste of time. We should concentrate on getting every voter to the polls.
First of all a Republican-engineered government shutdown is not what defunding Obamacare is about. Everything else would be funded.
It is OBAMA that threatens to shut down the entire government if Obamacare is not funded.
Secondly, my disillusionment could not be much greater than it is now. Grow some GOP!
Republicans are like Muslims. While they enjoy fighting with everyone, the real thrill comes when they fight amongst each other. We have met the enemy, and it is us.
Ditto.
I’d know the difference right away. With Nancy Pelosi holding the gavel again Valerie Jarrett would take her revenge.
They may as well take over the House, for all the good the House leadership is doing us now
(alas)
The difference is that this year Obama’s scandals (and the economy) are real problems that effect real people—and they are not happy about that.
In 1998, the problems (impeachment, Monica Lewinski) were personal to the President (and so did not affect) most people personally.
2DV, you are one of my favorite posters here...and I agree with you that things aren’t kosher in Republican party politics.
But honestly, I really do believe that there IS a difference between the parties.
The federal government’s spending is being sequestered...a very small amount, to be sure, but the deficit, while still too big is NOT the number it would be if we had a Democrat congress.
The most unpopular legislation in history, Obamacare, has been repealed or pushed back numerous times by the House...and ignored by the Democrat Senate. There would be ZERO effort by a Democrat House to fix this terrible law.
Not every Republican governor has been the stalwart against Obama that I would have liked (see: Brewer, Christie) but governors like Jindal, Haley, Scott, and Kasich have done their best to deal with the monstrosity. Kasich, I know, did do some “compromising”, but he also is committed to resisting as much federal intrusion as possible.
My point is that full Democrat control gave us runaway spending, stimulus, Obamacare, the federal takeover of the student loan program, and a host of perverted liberal judges...and I really think we ought to do our best to keep them OUT of power.
Anyway, not an attack on you, just an observation. Both parties suck to a degree...but one sucks worse than the other. :) One is redeemable by conservatives, one is destined for the trash heap of history with the Maoists and Bolsheviks.
I don’t think even the hard-core liberals would want to see Nancy Pelosi as Speaker Of The House again. That woman was a public relations disaster for them. Who else have they got who isn’t despised by the moderates and independants, as well as practically everybody else who bothers to vote? And she’s so power-hungry that she will not go away until she finally drops dead.
