Wasserman Schultz: ‘Very likely’ for GOP to lose House, blames tea party By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 12:34 PM 04/24/2012

Predictions of victory are taboo in sports because they wind up as bulletin board material to motivate the opposition. But that isn’t stopping Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from making grand projections about her party’s electoral success come November.

On Tuesday’s “Starting Point” on CNN, Wasserman Schultz stopped short of Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod’s outright declaration that President Barack Obama would win re-election by saying it was “entirely reasonable” to believe that Democrats would recapture the U.S. House.

“I think it’s entirely reasonable for [House Speaker John Boehner] to expect that they could lose the House because they very well could,” she said. “We’re working hard to make sure that happens because John Boehner has allowed the tea party to take over his conference.”

Later, Wasserman Schultz echoed Axelrod’s message, which depicted the Republican opposition as “extremist” and said the House GOP would be held responsible for not offering any so-called jobs bills.

“The Republicans have fully embraced extremism and they have brought in two years almost no jobs legislation to this floor and not worked with the president on any legislation to help make sure that we can move the economy forward because their number one goal is political and that’s to defeat Barack Obama,” she said.

“The Republicans have fully embraced extremism and they have brought in two years almost no jobs legislation to this floor and not worked with the president on any legislation to help make sure that we can move the economy forward because their number one goal is political and that’s to defeat Barack Obama,” she said.

“There’s no enthusiasm for their campaigns,” she said. “There’s no enthusiasm for their agenda. And they are on track to very likely lose the majority after a historic victory in 2010.”

OK.

The first U.S. BSE case was in 2003, found in a Washington state dairy cow that had been slaughtered. The second case was found in June 2005 in a cow in Texas, and the third was found in a cow in Alabama in 2006. The fourth case of mad cow disease in the U.S. was found at a rendering facility run by Baker Commodities in Hanford, Calif.

Looks like we now have number five...

....many conservatives will stay home because this ass will be the Repub nominee.

Anyone who stays home this election is a complete idiot. Don't like Romney? Fine, neither do I, so write in someone else, heck, write in your own name, but show up and vote down ticket candidates.

This election is way too important for conservatives to stay home and play the crybaby game.

She is right about us probably losing the House but not because of the Tea Party but because of Romney as the nominee. Today another primary and another primary where hardly anyone showed up. The Republicans are NOT excited about Romney at all. I am voting for Virgil who is running under the Constitution Party. A good man that we all should get behind. My entire family vote for Newt but it does not seem like he is going to win anything tonight.

She had better hope she's wrong. Otherwise the Democrats are going to have to eat this sh&t sandwich they've been building up these past three years.

Shouldn’t she be elated?

Shouldn’t she not be warning us?

Shouldn’t she be thanking the TEA Party?

The TEA Party was successful in 2010 in spite of John Boehner.
