The Democrats will take the first hit, the GOP elites the next one.
It isn't like the Democrats are on the right side of amnesty either.
The GOPe will find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The dems and their campaign arm (MSM) will actively assist them.
Should I blow my brains out now or wait? These guys are so negative and depressing I find no reason to read them. Lots of things will happen and gloom and doom do not have inside track on what is going to happen. Maybe Dr. Kevin “Coach” Collins is not going to have a good Christmas and wants to wreck ours.
Reid is openly congratulating Boehner for taking on those crazy radicals in the Tea Party. Uncle Screwtape could not be prouder
way to go Boehner- anything that makes Harry Reid happy MUST be good for America, right? When Harry approves, you must be doing the right thing, eh?

Those who are tempted to think that since conservatives have nowhere else to go, Republicans will win by default, ought to reconsider
............................................................
If I have nowhere to go, I can always stay home.
If I and thousands of other stay home the GOPe loses.
Boehner and the others need to think on that.
Obamacare is not like budget battles or homosexual “rights” etc. It is affecting too many people, right now, and will do so for the foreseeable future.
Yes, the GOP-E is unable to exploit this fully, but they aren’t really exploiting it now. It should be a very good year for the GOP despite themselves (as in 2010).
The establishment GOP are not interested in gaining or holding majorities in either house. They are content on not being challenged by the liberal media by going along with the liberals’ agenda. They consider conservatives their enemies and the liberals their friends.
This country is so deep into the black hole now, I’d just as soon see our historic enemies complete the job, than reward our traitorous “friends” into position to finish it and enrich themselves as they do it. Let them become trapped in the trap they set for the rest of us. I really don’t care, they are not my god nor my salvation.
The similar fundamental flaw is that republicans are stupid.
The GOPe will piss away this advantage just like they piss away every advantage.
They will, again, alienate their base in an attempt to curry favor with the media.
Paul Ryan is an idiot.
I’m pretty sure the GOP has jumped the shark with conservatives. I know that the word ‘Republican’ to me means nothing more than a pile of dogsh!t.
I am not going to vote for my so-called Senator Isakson in 2016, nor for anyone GOP endorsed in Chambliss’ replacement primary, either.
Additionally, based on my Congressman Collin’s recent budget vote, I won’t be voting for him in the primary.
Should any or all of these win their primaries, I’m planning on sitting this one out totally. I’ll not be a party to keep putting these traitors back in office.
Should there be a GOP victory, it will be a hollow one. It will be business as usual. Lots more spending, continuing growth of government, and the further erosion of liberties. The GOP and the Dems are two sides of the same coin.
There may be another flaw: Of the nearly 60% who disapprove of Obama, 10 to 12% say it’s because he isn’t liberal enough. That gets us back to 50-50.
There is some inconsistency in the polls, though. If he really is losing independents (they don’t think he’s too conservative) and/or is receding from being The One for those under 30, he’s got a problem.
The above is not to say that the GOP-e leadership can’t do something so stupid that the electorate won’t see any difference between the parties.
Karl Roves says GOP will win big next year.
We are doomed.
The current GOP “leadership” could be absolutely perfect, our people could turn out in droves, and we can still forget about a victory. The other side has taken cheating to a science, and we will lose.
Republican voters are a smart bunch. They are quickly learning not to give money to organizations like Karl Rove’s corporate PACs, that not only support only establishment Republicans, but actively fight conservatives.
So, Rove, if your moneybag friends like the liberal agenda so much, why don’t they pay for it themselves, not beg conservatives to support the liberal agenda?
The Tea Party continues to do everything right. With each election, it systematically takes out more and more RINOs, whose betrayal is actually more harmful to conservatives than anything the Democrats do.
Eventually, there will be Karl Rove, begging on street corners for lobbyist dollars. The out of office RINOs will be hired by corporations who still think they have influence with conservatives. When they realize that they don’t, they will be out on the street as well.
And when conservatives control the party leadership, there is going to be a serious purge of the party. Liberals will no longer get any significant leadership position.
Romney was going to win because conservatives had nowhere else to go - but they found a place to go: instead of going to the polls they went to their living rooms and had coffee.
No wonder Reid congratulates his “good friend” John “Benedict Arnold” Boehner. He’s the Democrats best friend as he antagonizes the same conservative voters who refused to vote in last year’s election because they objected to the GOPe choice of Romney.
Conservatives don’t have to “go” anywhere. They can stay home.
