If they do, the Republicans are going to get slaughtered next year. People are paying attention, and are fed up. They will not show up just to vote for an “R”, and without conservative voters, the Republican party is nothing more than a bunch of empty suits.
If Republicans were to lose the House it would be a catastrophe and the fault of the voters. Anyone except a RINO/Libertarian is going to vote Republican to stand against Obama/Reid/Pelosi. Anyone who does not vote Republican is responsible for giving the nationalist socialist more power.
You’re right. The conservative base of the GOP is going to abandon it. The Republicans ARE empty suits because they can’t articulate ONE SINGLE position they have. Only the strongest Republican bastions will hold out against this tsunami. We’re looking at the dems gaining 60 seats. Or more.
It looks like the Pubs are going to surrender. If they do they will have played right into the Rats hands. Even with gerrymandered districts the Pubs might lose the House when the base just says "why should I vote". Forget winning the Senate.
I know I won't vote for any non Tea Party Pubs if they sell us out.
And so what? Who cares about the fate of the empty suits?
Are they unhappy? They get to wear suits!
The stalking horse has served its purpose, and the people's interest is violated. In the face of mortal danger, the power and authority of the people remains unexercised. The parasites will gorge on our carcasses, because you and I do nothing.
But let me tell you something: I plan to continue doing nothing. I'm enjoying my business casual shirts, upscale fast food, and the pride of playing a great video game called "Internet". So it's all up to you, buddy.
