So you actually think that Harry Reid will continue as Majority Leader in 2015. Interesting. I think you are wrong, but Dimocrat view points can be interesting.
I think that groups of people who want something really, really badly, can engage in collective bias and impose dozens of different types of delusions upon themselves.
It is no secret that some polls are favoring the GOP and guess what, the Dems know this too. Do you think they are just sitting still and passively accepting what some think is inevitable?
On the eve of 0bama’s first win, when McCain returned from wherever he was to vote against the first TARP, my belief at the time (and as far as that belief was concerned, was right by a factor of over 150:1 measured by telephone calls against the first bailout) I thought very confidently that McCain sealed the deal with that move. Instead, he voted FOR the bailout and cut his own feet out from under himself. Was that the telling factor? I don’t know. I *do* know that predictions made from a mere 2 weeks out can be wildly wrong as suspense builds.
It is true that anyone with functioning neurons considers the state of this country as sitting at the bottom of a cesspool of abysmal failures and/or blithering incompetencies, not to mention possibly deliberate acts of national vandalism by this admin.
That has nothing to do with the button that that those WITHOUT functioning neurons press on E-day. Vast numbers of people vote their pocketbook, and vast numbers of people, rich and poor alike, consider the government the ultimate teat to suck on. They do not give freedom or the equitry of a law-based system a second’s thought. They would NEVER vote otherwise. Their button-push works just as well as yours or mine does.
Things do not move in straight lines. The Dems are not going to sit still for a prospective drubbing.
