I think the Republicans have been silenced by the ‘Coup of 2008’ crew.
He is correct. The Republican Party makes me ill.
When it comes crashing down, the real blame lies with the people that could have stopped all of this....Republicans.
Given up? This implies they ever actually had one. Or shall I say, one that they actually advocated with any force or passion!
Everyone keeps talking about elected Republicans like they are the opposition to socialism, which is simply not true. I firmly believe the Republicans are perfectly happy with the damage Obama, and the Democrats have inflicted on this country. One of the big differences between a socialist society, and a free society is who gets rich. In a socialist society politicians, government workers, and politicians selected groups profit. The current crop of elected Republicans are hoping to build a base from moderates, and a small portion of the base using funds from the people they will enrich, the Chamber of Commerce, by running on a platform of being better suited to run the government. If
they are successful, they will be setting themselves, family members, and close friends as our rulers.
Listen to any of the campaign managers. You will not hear them talking about how to win the hearts, and minds of the voters. You will hear talk about what percentage of this vote they need, while losing what percentage of the vote from another group to win an election. It is simply about power, money, and who is going to profit.
This is what we get when we have professional politicians. These guys start running for local office in their early twenties, and if they are lucky, they will retire from office independently wealthy. A Pretty good haul for people that mostly make less than $150.000.00 per year.
We’ve become a teeter-totter republic. The GOP and Jackasses take turns looting the country. Each party waits for the voters to get sick of the majority party, rather than taking a stand on any important issues. The only issue the GOP has consistently pushed over the past 13 years has been amnesty. The Democrats have been pushing homos and the global warming fraud.
Feder is so right about this. How do they explain bad campaigns in NC, KS, and VA? Being outspent. Not because the candidates are running milquetoast, me too, RINO campaigns, but because they lack money. Already heard it from my political consultant friends here in the Beltway.
If I wanted to vote for the current republican platform I would vote for democrats. Even Bernie Sanders is honest. You can’t say that about Boehner or McConnel. They have the same agenda as the democrats. Aside from a few congress-critters that are truly conservative most are useless. My state is pretty secure so I’ll send my money to the battle states.
The GOPe will be power sharing. They don’t want to be in charge.
Don’t be surprised if the Democrats manage to beat the odds and retain control of the Senate.
I’m not voting for the same reason I didn’t vote in 2012: the GOP is not offering an alternative to Obama.
There’s no reason to think a GOP Senate would operate any differently from the one now run by the Democrats.
Then again, the Republican establishment somehow manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
You can say one thing about the Democrats. They take care of their base. The GOP shows contempt for theirs.
This is killing them. We are the party of “make no mistakes” this election.
Republicans - We Suck Less.
