If a panic button existed in the offices of vulnerable Democrats in Congress right now, they might be pressing it so often it wouldn’t have time to reset.
A new CNN poll this week found that support for Obamacare is down to an all-time low of 35 percent. That helps explain the dramatic partisan reversal in another question CNN asked — about which party respondents would vote for in their congressional district. Two months ago, Democrats had a 50–42 percent lead on that critical “generic ballot” question. Now, Republicans have taken a 49–44 lead. Other private polls taken in the last few days confirm the trend of the CNN poll.

What worries Democrats the most is that their base voters will be unenthusiastic about voting in a year when President Obama isn’t himself on the ballot. The CNN poll has some evidence backing up that fear. It finds that only 22 percent of Democrats are currently extremely or very enthusiastic about voting. At the same time, 36 percent of Republicans can’t wait to find a polling booth and register their discontent.
President Obama is, as of now, a drag on Democratic candidates. A full 55 percent of adults say they are more likely to vote for a congressional candidate who opposes Obama than for one who backs his program.
Numbers like that can have a real impact in swing states. Take Colorado, which was a key to Obama’s victory in 2012 when he won it with 51.5 percent of the vote. But this month’s Quinnipiac poll found Obama’s approval in the state at just 36 percent. That has helped make Democratic senator Mark Udall’s seat competitive. His “deserves re-election” number has tumbled down to 41 percent, with 47 percent now saying he doesn’t deserve a second term.....

John Fund is well-known for his research and publications on vote fraud.
But for some reason he doesn’t account for the millions who are granted amnesty will be immediately registered to vote regardless of citizenship.
Amnesty is Obama’s trump card.
And the hits just keep on coming!..................
The fact that even NPR, this morning, was discussing how the 2014 election is gonna be a bad one for the Democrats is significant.
Interesting, even in reporting it, their main thrust was, “yeah, we (oops, I mean the democrats) are gonna get their buts kicked in 2014, but it will be reversed and more in 2016.
That also was very telling.
Democrats will lose significantly in the RED states....US Senate seats in places like SD, MT, AK, AR, LA,WV, NC.
If strong candidates are recruited the GOP could also pick up US Senate seats in swing states like IA, VA, NH, CO.
If the stars are aligned properly even a few US Senate seats in blue states like MI, MN, OR, could land in GOP hands.
Every last RAT up for election in the Senate was the 60th vote for owebamacare.
One ad with just a name and picture change can run in every state!
Well, yeah, but even if representatives of the Democratic [sic] party lose, we can count on the Vichy Republicans to pass 99% of their agenda, anyway.
All this excitement is being generated for what???
The victory of Boehner and Ryan’s “budget deal” Republicans in 2014 to what end.
A lot of football game emotions here that will change nothing about government getting bigger, spending and debt going up and taxes increasing.
This country needs to move in a real conservative direction and that isn’t going to happen unless all Republican Senators are like Ted Cruz and all Republican House members are like Justin Amash or Louie Gohmert.
People like those need to win the primaries ahead and if they don’t, there’s not much to be voting on other than emotions in November when the choice is between RINO’s and Dem’s.

My reason for leading with these 3 quotations will become clear as you watch the maddening 20+minute video at the link below. It will most likely cause you to recoil and shout "bulls**t", "that CAN'T be true", "these guys are NUTS," "I LOVED Bush. Why would he have been involved in this stuff," etc., etc... The answer to that last one is simple: He -- as have been so, so many of the others -- was either BORN into it, tapped later in life to become part of it, the scam pays VERY, VERY well (both emotionally and monetarily) and they wish to continue breathing! Think JFK for that last one.
Then you will ask the same question I ask myself when more of this information pops up: How is it that guys like Jones and others are not "taken out" for trying to blow the lid off this -- and there's no other word that works here -- conspiracy? Your reaction to this information is a micro expression of why it continues: You either don't BELIEVE it (cognitive dissonance) and/or think to yourself that it's so BIG that there's no way any sort of critical mass could be assembled to do anything about it so WHY BOTHER even thinking about it further.
Then there's the "conspiracy's" understanding that their control of the mass media prevents any but a small fraction of the people around you from even HEARING any of this.
Add to that the growing numbers of dumbed down suckers at the government teat and you have your answer. We have allowed the main actors in this treacherous, treasonous theater to bring the process to the level where they really don't CARE if we know about it as we will do nothing substantive to stop them.
If you remember the film "The Manchurian Candidate" you now know where we are. Except this time OUR "candidate" came to us from Chicago (but you can insert a number of place names here). The bad news is that given our current trend, there's less and less difference between Manchuria and Chicago every day.
The REALLY BAD news is that if something isn't done to arrest that process, it is spreading to the entire nation.
Might want to start preparing an answer to a question your kids and grandkids will ask you: What was freedom like?
If I were a Republican running for office, my political ads would be, “Two years ago, the Democrats passed Obamacare and joked that they hadn’t even read it. The joke was on you. Don’t let them get away with it. Vote for ______________, Republican.”
“Democrats will lose significantly in the RED states....US Senate seats in places like SD, MT, AK, AR, LA,WV, NC.
If strong candidates are recruited the GOP could also pick up US Senate seats in swing states like IA, VA, NH, CO.

The Senate is the most important house to capture. With six year terms, those who are elected will “transcend” the next presidential election. A GOP conservative Senate could significantly help a Republican president and thwart a RAT.
If most swing states the Congressional districts are gerrymandered so that the Democratic base is concentrated in the urban rat-holes that have been their strongholds for years. As a result of this, even heavily Democratic states have a lot of Republicans in Congress.
Take New Jersey, for example. This is one of the most liberal states in the U.S., hasn't had a Republican Senator in decades, and hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1980s. And yet exactly half of the 12 House districts are held by Republicans. The typical House election results in New Jersey will have a Democrat win the densely-populated urban toilets by an 80%-20% margin, a Republican wins the sparsely-populated rural areas by an 80%-20% margin, and the suburbs become the swing areas for elections. So if a generic poll shows a slight Republican edge, this means there is a major shift toward the GOP in the suburban "swing" areas.
I did not know this. I was under the impression that John Boehner was the Speaker of the House since the 2010 elections. I do understand how John Fund could be confused, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between Pelosi and Boehner.
Very odd. Good catch.
This was an actual quote??
Not surprising, but yes, telling...
Naw, it’s my paraphrasing of ten minutes worth of studio banter.
John probably meant to type “Former” on the front of that sentence.
