Excellent point.
“The majority is at risk,” an unnamed Republican strategist told Byron York earlier this week.
Absolutely. Nobody likes a loser and that’s all the beltway GOP leadership has done in the Age of Obama.
Massive voter fraud.
Class warfare
Racial warfare
Accuse Republicans of starving kids and throwing grandma in the street
Hey - it has worked for 40 years...
We should be more worried about the GOPe plans to give back the House to the Democrats
> “As my liberal colleague had predicted, the Obama electorate returned to save the president from the heartbreak of a single term.”
Wrong!

“In 2012, Obama defeated Romney by a 50% to 48% margin. Obama received 59.8 million votes, and Romney received 57.1 million votes — 2.7 million fewer than Obama in 2012, but also 2.8 million fewer than McCain in 2008.”
What sunk the GOP bid for the presidency in 2012 was the stay at home Perot bloc (6 million blue collared conservative whites).
As long as the GOP remains a bunch of limp wristed wussies and fail to offer a bold alternative to the progressive agenda, then they will have a very difficult time maintaining a majority.
.. was the inability to convince more voters that liberal Romney was worth getting to the polls for.
[a Republican-engineered government shutdown could blow whatever good will with voters the party has left]
Let’s just become Democrats, that way we are sure to win by destroying the country. Paging Karl Rove.
No mas, GOP, no mas.
The ‘RATS have a secret weapon to take back the House. It’s called the GOP. It wasn’t a good idea for the GOP to throw their base under the bus. That “rebranding” they are about to get is really going to leave a mark.
Failure to do either will result in more of the same.
What difference does it make? The ‘pubs have control of the HOR and the purse strings and they won’t stand for anything.

We said essentially the same thing. Those Perot blue collar conservatives would have turned out for a conservative republican like Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin or Rand Paul and others.

What we should be doing right now is
1) Supporting all efforts to “true the vote” make sure election fraud is not so easy for Democrats
2) Support the full force of the law against those caught
What we should be doing in 2014
1) Support any way we can conservative candidates
2) Mobilize the base. You never see Democrats “reaching out” they work on getting their base out not on convincing conservatives to change. It is a waste of time. We should concentrate on getting every voter to the polls.
First of all a Republican-engineered government shutdown is not what defunding Obamacare is about. Everything else would be funded.
It is OBAMA that threatens to shut down the entire government if Obamacare is not funded.
Secondly, my disillusionment could not be much greater than it is now. Grow some GOP!
Nailed it!
