The Dems in the red states KNOW they are in trouble BIGTIME over theats by both run away spending and out of control DC.
Obama can lead Republicans around by the nose, so he can certainly get red-state Dems to fall in line.
You will see a lot of balking by conservative Dems who could very well end up taking sides with those GOPers from the red states.
This doesn’t matter. Montana and W VA just re-elected lib-holes. They’ll. do so again.
I didn’t notice any of them saying they may want to do something about PASSING A BUDGET. What a bunch of morons.
I haven’t heard of any real opponent for Pryor (D-Arkansas).
Rep. Womack (R-District 3) may try to unseat Pryor like his predecessor, Boozman (R, former District 3 Rep) defeated Lincoln (D).
Womack may find some serious opposition as he and the now former Dem Representative both voted FOR the fiscal cliff bill, while the other two R-Representatives voted AGAINST it. The Dem was replaced in the last election by a Republican, so in the current House, Arkansas has 4 Republican representatives.
Asa Hutchinson (R) threatens to run for something occasionally — Senate, maybe; Governor, maybe; Dog Catcher, maybe.
Nonsense.
Begich is NOT a moderate. He votes left 95% of the time.
Just more mis-direction put out by the commie-rats.
To the administration, this means they have a year to shove it all through before serious opposition arises. Executive order, regulation, by whatever means available. They do not care about Democrats any more than they care for any vestige of the republic.
I really hope people aren’t fooled by their lies.
DO NOT MISREAD WHAT’S HAPPENING!!!
The reason that Obama’s Executive Orders were so mild is because the Red State Democrats (both Senate and House) have been BURNING UP HIS PHONE LINES begging him to not push gun control...at all. They know they will GET HAMMERED if they have to vote on it - and it will ONLY bring bad things.
If they vote with the President, they lose in November. If they vote against him on gun control, then some cranky school teacher (yea, I know, a redundant term) will beat them in the Primary. THEY CANNOT WIN!!
It is them that are stopping the President, not the NRA. The President could care less about the NRA, and so can the Dems - but they know what’s in store if they get on the wrong side of the NRA.
South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD)ought to loose big time as he voted for Obmacare, supported cap and trade and will likely fully agree with Obama’s gun grab. Since his massive stroke in 2006 he has only made limited appearances as his speech is still affected and had no debates with his opponent during his last run for his Senate seat. I think the people of South Dakota might be appalled at how much his stroke affected his judgment.
If the Republicans do not define themselves and define themselves as the solution to Obama in the eye of the low-information voter, they will continue to lose elections.
Right now, losing elections appears to be the Republican strategy.
I have a relative who is the county sheriff. He is a dim. I have never understood why. He is a Christian. But the dims got him to run for election some years ago, backed him, and he won. Now they continue to back him. He has played with switching parties because he is afraid that he is going to be held liable at the next election for Obama and his policies. I told him he will, and should. I told him, you support the dims, you are a dim, you say you are a Christian, yet you support a party that pushes abortion and homo marriage. How can you do that? I think he is a coward. He had rather throw out what he says he believes in to stay in office. He is afraid that if he changes from dim to rep that he will not get reelected, but if he stays a dim, he might not get reelected. I again, believe him to be a coward for not standing up for his Faith and not a political party. Basically, he makes me sick. I have never voted for him and will not. If he jumps parties, I have thought that I still cannot vote for him even if he switches. The switch would only be because he fears that he will be liable because he was a dim.
America’s only hope at this point is that the left’s grip on Washington is merely a side effect of the Obama personality cult and that in elections where he isn’t running—2014,2016—the Obamatons stay at home.
But I don’t think so.
It’s more of tussle over whether to increase federal funding for federal government or for state and local governments (pork).
The red state senators are looking for bribes. They will vote for the jug eared Kenyan’s gun control if the price is right. Just like they did with obama care.
Thanks SeekAndFind. Not only this — they’ll also vote against Obamacare, you just wait and see. /flashback
