Midterm elections are often a reflection of the approval rating of the incumbent president and now President Obama stands at 42.8%. And elections in the 6th year of a Presidents term are usually not good for the incumbents party. To make things even worse for Democrats, the issues of a weak economy and Obamacare make November look bleak for Harry Reid and his Senate Democratic cohorts.

No kidding.
Not a day passes that the Communists that have infiltrated every facet of our government fail to Vindicate and Validate everything that the late Senator Joe McCarthy tried to warn this country about.
Trying to change the subject from Obamacare won’t work either...
Mark Pryor Endorses Minimum Wage Hike in Arkansas
Pryor said Saturday in Little Rock that the proposal is the right thing to do.(sure- since Pryor has never had a real job, or run a business).
It would raise the state’s current $6.25 per hour minimum wage to $7.50 per hour on Jan. 1, 2015; to $8 per hour on Jan. 1, 2016, and to $8.50 per hour on Jan. 1, 2017.

I guess the idiot doesn’t know that most businesses in Ark are required to pay the higher if Fed is more than state min wage. He is too stupid to run a business of his own. He just wants to tell everyone else what he thinks you should pay someone to take the heat off of his Obamacare votes!
I don’t know anyone in Ark who is paying less than Fed min wage of $7.25.
“Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday, saying “up to one million jobs will disappear” if the minimum wage increases.”
You prolly can't pick and choose with Federal Layoffs so it maybe FIFO, so massive layoffs of all dept's in DC would have to ensue. Numbers in the order of 20% to 50% is my guess as to what would be needed to add the Mr Clean to make these places spic and span...
I heard Monica Crowley today and she noted if we run the board we could pick up double digits that would bring us into 65 in the Senate Territory.
However the 4 million Dingbats, That is right I said it, that stayed home because Romney wasn't Conservative enough or they had a hair across their arse about his faith need to come out and volunteer and or vote.
If they stay home again we are more screwed than Hogan's Goat...
Oregon is a long shot but is also in play because we have a great candidate and they do not.

As you know, healthcare is on the forefront of everyone’s mind today given the disastrous rollout of ObamaCare last month and will likely be the major issue of the campaign this cycle. It will be an uphill climb to beat Jeff Merkley
“The American Heartland has been devastated by liberal policies and Iowa is no different. “
Raise your hand if you expect the steeple to even know what liberal policies are, much less understand the problems with them?
I’m getting weary of the logical outcome not happening because the dumping down of the American public has been completed.
That’ll teach me to post using a tablet that ‘fixes’ my words for me.
Steeple should’ve been sheeple.
Dumping should’ve been dumbing.
You think Obama has ANY constraints any more?
No one is stopping him. The voter fraud will be on the order of 40% this time.
Then comes his third, and final, term. After that there will only be fake elections, for senators and congressmen, but no more presidential ones.
Mark my words.
“Republican by day, Democrat by night.”
Just like the V.C.
IMHO
“To many on FR, the Democrats are never in trouble, they never lose.”
Democrats never ARE in trouble and never lose because Republicans/Conservatives and other non-Progressives seem not to be able to cope or deal with a press that’s in bed with Progressives and Progressives who are psychotic, adolescent, badly-toilet-trained, ill-behaved, manipulative thugs. And most of all, a large part of the electorate loves the antics of Progressives in congress.
Not until they learn to cope with the mental illness that is Progressivism will non-Progressives even begin to make inroads into repairing the damage done by the
junior-high-schoolers.
IMHO
How does one say they are a Democrat and still a Christian?

I’ve asked some of them that and they hide behind “Separation of Church and State.” Then, if you tell them that is not in the Constitution, that it was a term coined by Thomas Jefferson, they then fall back on the Scripture where Jesus said: “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and unto God that which is God’s.”
OK, I forgot that Rush calls Reid “Dingy Harry”. My bad. I work days and I don’t have a job where I can listen to rush in the afternoon.
Rather than “mark” your words, let’s put some money on it. I say you’re wrong.
I never bet, ever, any money, for any reason. No lotto, no Vegas, no scratch off games. Nothing.
Then get back to work!
There are millions of Obama Voters that are depending on your tax dollars so they can get their free sh*t!
Slacker!
