Political strategist Karl Rove congratulated himself on Wednesday for getting 10 predictions right for this year—and he forecast that Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives and end up with as many as 51 seats in the Senate in next year’s congressional elections.
For 2014, President Barack Obama’s “disapproval rating will end higher than this week’s 53 percent” in the Gallup poll, Rove said in an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal.
“Republicans will keep the House with a modest pickup of four to six seats. The GOP will most likely end up with 50 or 51 Senate seats (in the former case, keeping Vice President Joe Biden fully occupied for two years presiding over the chamber),” Rove added. …

GO TO HELL RINO/GOP-e Lover!
Amen
If it happens, he will take credit. If it doesn’t, he can blame the Tea Party and claim they are responsible. In his mind, he can’t lose.
“Karl Rove: GOP Will Capture Senate in 2014”
Now there’s the kiss of death.
Ah, so you want ideological impurity to keep shoving the country so far left that we end up with gulags and re-education camps. I see.
Was it really as high as ten percent religious conviction?

I don’t know. It’s just an expression to affirm that GWB has a Christian heart on some matters. But not much else he did was good.
Some will argue he passed the largest tax cut in history. In terms of nominal dollars yes that is true, but in terms of percentages, no it is not true.
So I can’t really bring to the argument his performance on taxes as it was both good and bad. Certainly he unleashed a lot of investment into Wall St. but he failed to police and prosecute the banking criminals aka the banksters who set the stage for a financial collapse.
But again on taxes, he was given a historic opportunity to overhaul the tax code or abolish it and enact a new code. But GWB like his father was a go-along-to-get-along type who never took a risk or was willing to create waves. He was at core a moderate who tended left after his wife more often than leading conservatives.
GWB got a lot of press heat for sure but they were left unchallenged, again because of his get along don’t make waves cowardice or countenance. Perhaps GWB wasn’t a coward, but he did not have the ability to bring down the house on the media like say Newt Gingrich. And given he was in his second term, what was to stop him from raining hell onto the jackals in the media? Bush was simply not a Lion.
Newt Gingrich unloaded on Anderson Cooper in the GOP Presidential debates of 2012. He was so effective that his poll tracking went through the roof on the days following the debate. But of course Gingrich has a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth or taking the discussion off topic and into some area that the media jackals can come back after him.
When it comes to being effective in Washington DC, one must be smart and deadly. Bush was not too smart and he was rarely deadly; Gingrich could be deadly but not always smart.
I am hoping Ted Cruz will bring everything necessary for lasting reforms that the current GOP fails brings to the table.
Well, remember what Revelation 3:16 says about those who are lukewarm in their religion. It’s not possible to “get along” with those who are basically the enemy within.
(And me having lived in the northeast’s “tri-state area” for many years, when I see the acronym “GWB” I automatically think of the George Washington Bridge.)
