Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer projected a big win for the Republicans in November, giving them a 70 percent chance of winning the Senate.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
If the GOP cant win back the Senate in a climate like this, maybe the party ought to look for another country, he told Fox News host Bill OReilly Tuesday.
Krauthammer explained why he thinks the climate is ripe for the win:
"The reason is this is essentially a referendum on Obama. In 2010 it was a referendum on his ideology. The overreach with Obamacare, the stimulus, cap and trade, and now, six years in, its referendum on ideology, but now added on to that, its on shear competence.
When you are not only the party in government, you are the party of government, and you preach about the glories of government and in fact you get Hillary saying the other day, you know, its not corporations that create jobs. The implication being its government, then if you are incompetent and lose the confidence of the people you are in trouble. You have every scandal there is. Everything from the VA, to the Obamacare rollout to the Secret Service and now with Ebola. Where they are running around, have no idea what to do and they change the protocols every other day.
So, given the climate, I think it would be, you know, if the GOP cant win back the Senate in a climate like this, maybe the party ought to look for another country."
Reagan wins 49 states running as a conservative and the GOP-e thinks it can do better?
They will.
They're already talking about pushing amnesty, and have conceded that they will not oppose ObamaCare.
This may2014 to 2016spell the end of the Republican party if they screw us again.
Again, see the above.
They better not.
What incentive do they have not to? Especially if they can get the Senate by essentially screaming the other guy's worse!
and not doing anything.
You got that right:
IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY GOVERNMENT.

This has been happening for a long time, the "outrage" always seems to cool down before election day
Ha ha. The Commie pink fag enablers.
You don't get it. It was a con all along. Read (former NYT editor) Howell Raines's article in the October, 2008 issue of Conde' Nast's Portfolio, a short-lived business-personality newspaper (think of is as "Us for Billionaires"), that described the backroom haggle that led to a black-handed, slimy political deal on "healthcare".
Look, the GOP and their Chamber/NAM/Business Roundtable bagmen and taskmasters want the same thing the Democrats do .... sort of.
Business wanted to dump trillions of dollars' worth (that's with a "T") of employee healthcare plans and obligations to current and former employees, and shift them onto the public sector (where they'll get God knows what kind of care -- but who cares?!), where they'll be thrown on their own (disguised as "public") resources.
Business dumps a huge cost, and the savings flow very bonusably to the corporate bottom line. Same trick Henry Clay Frick pulled on his steelworkers in 1892, dumping strikers and halving the pay of those who stayed on, and oh by the way, breaking his union with the help of 300 armed Pinkerton men. (A famous radical tried to assassinate him the same year, but his employees saved him; and in 1912, his wife sprained her ankle in Italy, causing him to return their tickets for their return to New York on the maiden voyage of R.M.S. Titanic.)
This same Kraut was on TV before the first election of Obama, telling us how great his ideas sound and I would be willing to bet he voted for him then too.
Bump. Double bump. If only people would get it.
I recall it distinctly, that was back in the days of daschole (remember tiny time and his ilk holding up mufflers because Bush was pushing for the tax cut?). They're all f'ing parasites (minus a very few select few). I have said elsewhere and I will say again here; take names, keep a list. When (not if, when) our society comes crashing to an end, never let these parasites breathe another breathe on our land (hell, if we can keep it seeing what the dem's have done to our country and military)
You shouldn't:
The Parable of the TalentsWe gave them the House, and before that the Presidency, and they — the Republican party — have done nothing to further our goals.
(Matt 25:14-30)
For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.
And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.
He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.
But his master answered him, You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The party ought to look for another country, and the country ought to look for another party. It’s way overdue at this point.
yea, ole Mitch just wrote his campaign a check for $1.8 million out of his personal account. Heck of a big bank account for someone who only earns $180,000/yr. TARP $ went everywhere except for where it was supposed to go.
Sure are. Dan Patrick, a former conservative radio host and sports announcer in Houston, has already said that he's on board for work visas and credentialing, including drivers' licenses, for illegals.
He said this last week on a local Houston TV interview show carried, ironically, on PBS.
He's running for lieutenant governor of Texas, the most powerful office in the State. Let me repeat that: The most powerful office in the State.
Most Democrats did. Dr. Krauthammer is a Democrat.
In 1978, Krauthammer moved to Washington, D.C., to direct planning in psychiatric research under the Carter administration.[1] He began contributing articles about politics to The New Republic and in 1980 served as a speech writer to vice president Walter Mondale.[1] In January 1981, Krauthammer joined The New Republic as both a writer and editor.[1]

I prefer the King James. The language is better.
I do like the King James, but NRSV is pretty decent.
In 2006, the Financial Times named Krauthammer the most influential commentator in America,[10] saying "Krauthammer has influenced US foreign policy for more than two decades. He coined and developed 'The Reagan Doctrine' in 1985 and he defined the US role as sole superpower in his essay 'The Unipolar Moment,' published shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Krauthammer's 2004 speech 'Democratic Realism', which was delivered to the American Enterprise Institute when Krauthammer won the Irving Kristol Award, set out a framework for tackling the post-9/11 world, focusing on the promotion of democracy in the Middle East." In 2009, Politico columnist Ben Smith wrote that Krauthammer had "emerged in the Age of Obama as a central conservative voice," a "kind of leader of the opposition...a coherent, sophisticated and implacable critic of the new president." The New York Times columnist David Brooks says that today "he's the most important conservative columnist."[13] Former congressman and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called Krauthammer "without a doubt the most powerful force in American conservatism. He has [been] for two, three, four years."[14]
Sounds pretty conservative to me .... compared to some, e.g. Peggy Noonan or the aforementioned "Brooksie", the Old Grey Whore's house "Republican".
Of course, Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, and David and Rush Limbaugh, he's not.
We have a host of GOPe RINO Romney Cheerleaders here on FR who make me puke daily.
We hate each other’s guts, deservedly so. They are LIBERALS.
