100% correct. There’s no seeming interest in winning back the majority. No drive, no fire, no nothing. We’re losing seats we have no business losing.
My first clue was when they elected the exact same leadership team after they lost the majority.
They just don't get it.
I’ll take a dem like that over a RINO.
I can’t fathom how Boehner came back in the first place. He was in the leadership (Party Conference Chairman) back in the ‘90s before he was bounced in favor of J.C. Watts. They’ve needed new leadership for a long time, and Boehner ain’t it.
The weird thing is they voted for him overwhelmingly, yet all refuse to follow him on anything.
He seems to be saying and proposing the right things, but the Congresscritters who elected him are more interested in freelancing, pork, and spending with the Democrats.
Yup. And where the hell is Roy Blunt ? It’s the Whip’s job to be seen and lob bombshells at the opposition. He is nowhere to be found (and worse, yet, his kid, who is the Governor of Missouri, is running away from his job after a single term this year after an initially promising career). The last GOP Whip while we were in the minority was Gingrich. We ALWAYS saw him on tv doing his damndest. Complete and total AWOL leadership from top to bottom (and Tom Cole, the NRCC Chairman, badmouthing Club For Growth, which actually gives a damn about putting NON-liberal RINOs in Congress, is incredibly stupid).
Lazy idiots the whole bunch of them.
And I thought Cole was supposed to be a smart guy.
Unless McCain turns out to be a really good campaigner and the 527s are able to torpedo Obama by making the Rev. Wright "God Damn America" connection each and every day, we're gonna get bombed this Fall in the downticket races. It's going to be 2006 all over again, maybe worse. There is so much overhang out there, Iraq, high gasoline prices, slowing economic growth, the daily drumbeat of doom from the media, and the media and the 'Rats will hang it all on Bush, and then make the Bush = 'Pubs connection, and it will stick, because the sheeple are stupid enough to buy into it.
Like it or not, most of the electorate gets it's news from "traditional" sources, and those are overwhelmingly in that tank for Obama. They're lining up their kneepads to serve him. The media was desperate for a female Speaker in '06, and pulled out all the stops to get one, and they did. This cycle, they want a Black President so badly that they'll make their '06 campaign for Pelosi look like a warmup.
