It will take a little more than cockiness and depending on past mid-term results to get the necessary seats this year.
Every election cycle the Dems raise more money and recruit assorted ghetto skanks to go around passing it out where it will do the most good(”walking around money”), more union punks and ACORN types to push, shove, bus, or drag apathetic voters to the polls, and amazing expertise at winning with every type of hanky-panky and downright fraud imaginable.
How can anybody think it will be a snap to displace a machine like that? A machine whose members regard government and politics the way we regard the air we breathe? Most of us have other priorities like family, work, business, or faith. But not the fanatics of the left. So many of them act like they must win for their lives to have any meaning.
Fighting an automatic weapon with a handgun wouldn’t be much harder.
They don’t have a platform, they have a machine.
Half of their voters wouldn’t know an issue if one bit them on the ass.
How is Boehner “useless”?
How? Because if it ain’t close, they can’t cheat. Part of the Democrat’s playbook is to constantly repeat that Republicans can’t win because the ‘Rat juggernaut is just too enormous. Just like the the USSR did right up to the day it collapsed (with help from the NYT).
He supposed to be a leader. He has not had an original idea since he joined congress. He’s inarticulate on top of that. Right now he’s hiding in a tanning booth hoping that he’ll be leader in January, that his plan.
On the other hand you have Paul Ryan stepping up to the plate at every chance he gets to articulate a plan to get us on a solid economic footing.
I didn’t say they’d win just by cheating, I said cheating was a part of their strategy. Mostly they count on a well-practiced ground game while the GOP largely depends on their people getting off their duffs and voting independently.
Organization is far more likely to succeed than an amorphous collection of allegedly outraged citizens.
The GOP has enough motivation to win maybe 30-35 House seats and 5-6 in the Senate. To go beyond that, they’ll need organizational tactics that they’ve never developed.
That’s not so bad, however. Falling short of congressional majorities will deny Obama a serious reason to whine about the GOP holding up all his crap socialistic legislation but it will likely result in Reid and Pelosi being voted out of their leadership positions.
