I wonder...if every member of the house and the senate were Republicans, would the snivelling weasels find the courage to hold Chairman Maobama accountable?

Jeb Bush was a great governor here in FL.

But now I don’t like him with the common core and amnesty crap.

There will be GOP gains, but nothing like some of these drama queens are squealing about.

If those gains are RINOs, then it does not matter anyway.

As mentioned in other threads, if patriots and former Obama supporters can organize to win 2/3 conservative majority control of both Houses of Congress in 2014 elections then Congress will be positioned as follows.

Congress will have the power, under the Constituton's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to override presidential vetoes. This means that Congress will be able to repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare, for example, without Obama's signature.

Note that Congress has exercised its power to override presidential vetoes as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.

The poll found that voters in the so-called "Rising American Electorate" — unmarried women, minorities, and younger voters — are much less likely to vote this year than in 2012.

Ah, anyone care to comment? This is a good chunk of the Low Information Voter block.

Well... Job One should be taking the gavel from Harry Reid. He's as destructive to this country as Obama.

That would be a step in the right direction, but we shall see.

Republicans are doing great in local elections in NC, where I live. Some counties which were historically solid democrat ten years ago are almost solid Republican now or moving that way. And it looks even better for this year.

Don’t count out the good guys.

The article was written by Associated Press, but I still see your point.

That’s a good point -the word “disaster” in a headline does get attention.

Oh I see your point too….just that a poll is often reported from the standpoint of the sponsor of the poll - becuase that is the group that pays for it, and then releases it. This is different than say a normal Gallup or Rasmussen poll….which are not sponsored per se in the way this one was.

There is no "DemocratIC" poll.
