But for a few good members in the GOP like Ryan Pence and Cantor, the GOP is mostly usless and showing little or no viable alternative to the Dems.
yes we need to vote for the GOP for sake of gridlock, but dont hold your breath waiting for the GOP to get a clue as to what to do any time soon.
Try again Skippy.
Here's a free tip for you (which is worth every penny): Right below the date/time of the post is a link To #, which if you click on it, it will take you to the post they were replying to.
I don't want DEMS to retain Congress. I want them to die.
I think it is time for your nap.
These kind of polls are good in the sense that it will keep the Right motivated to go vote.
If the perception is the GOP in a walk....some people don’t vote.
You need momentum, but not too much perceived momentum. It works in reverse too with McCain/Dole/Bush 41...perceived malaise.
Well, that would make sense ... they probably called 1,044 randomly-chosen adults within the 213 (Los Angeles) area code ... primarily hispanics, I’m betting.
30, maybe even more.
Of course -- this is from the west coast department of the Democrat Party's Ministry of "Truth", the LA Times. When are these "news" papers going to realize that nobody believes anything they say when they publish political propaganda (lies) like this in order to save the Democrat Party. LA TIMES -- just hurry up and die and go away. Thinking people have no respect for anything you say.
Perhaps a bit of reality will enlighten the LAT writer? The following poll (link below) if from NPR and closely mirrors the findings of both the Gallup and Rasmussen polls which taken using input from LIKELY VOTERS instead of national adults (The very least accurate method of polling.

This is a poll of national adults. It is useless as a gauge of voter sentiment and is totally at odds with both the Gallup and Rasmussen polling, each of which poll LIKELY VOTERS, which days ago said the generic Congressional ballot was showing the REPUBLICANS leading by 8 & 10 points respectively
GOP has 178 seats in Congress, they need 218 to retake the House. GOP needs to win 40 or more seats. In the Senate the GOP has 41 seats, need 10 to take the Senate or 19 to have a filibuster proof Senate.

"Are they right? There's reason for skepticism. As Ambinder and Subday noted, 44% of those in the poll's voter sample were self-identified evangelical Christians, who tend to be conservative Republicans. In the last presidential race, evangelicals constituted 23% of voters -- about half the number used in the AP poll.
It's possible, I suppose, that evangelical turnout will be higher this year, but a jump from 23% to 44%? It's very unlikely. In fact, it's practically impossible, and rather foolish to assume as part of the basis for a national campaign poll.
Anyone getting too excited (or too depressed) based on this AP poll is probably making a mistake."
ROTFL
In CA? Sure.
Right. The LA Times. They probably polled ACORN and SEIU. Setup.
I don’t really care that you blast me or flame me or whatever, but I really wish you would add to the discussion too. You have this problem of calling people out but don’t provide your opinion on the subject. Is that because the subject matter is too difficult and unable to understand for you? Just wondering because this is your trend.
Let’s ask the question differently and skew the sample towards the Democrats to try to help them.
64% of budgets are ok with 10% unemployment, 17% underemployment. A stock market that is the same as it was 6 months ago, a national debt going up 160 billion a month.
