6 Signs a Republican Senate Takeover Is Within Reach
National Journal ^ | January 29, 2014

Posted on 01/29/2014 6:10:30 PM PST by SMGFan

Republican gains and President Obama's weakness have Democrats on their heels, preparing to fight for Senate seats they never thought they would have to defend and hoping that 2016 will give them a chance to win back the Senate if they lose it next year.

We won’t. It doesn’t matter. We don’t have the WH. Half the GOP are RINOs. They 100% lose the Senate back in 2016. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory.

I actually saw her (Cathy M-R, R WA) speaking this morning on FNC.

She was all smiles and platitudes of "coming together on unemployment benefits, immigration," etc.

She's just the kind of GOPe that we conservatives love to despise for selling us out!

That is exactly why we must help support the Primary Challengers of McConnell, Graham and Cornyn. Get these RINOs out of office!

Two reasons that it will never happen: 1.The Democrat Party’s election stealing m.o. 2. The Republican Party’s lack of spine, backbone. courage, balls, and character.

Once the Rs push for illegal immigration any lead they have will dissipate like a snow flake in a July sun.

Did anyone read about the GOP(E) response by Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) to the State of the Coup? Don’t want to repeal ObamaCare? Didn’t mention Benghazi or Obama’s overt support of Al Qaeda in Syria? Didn’t condemn Obama’s intentions to govern by fiat?

I saw Congresswoman McMorris Rogers' response live and wasn't particularly impressed. It was too long on her personal life story and too short on hard policy differences with Obama. The omissions that you mentioned, though, might be excused by the tight time restrictions on her.

Incidentally, there was an alternative Republican response by Sen. Mike Lee, which was more to the point.

Benishek is my congressman and won't get my vote. He is a rino. Could care less if the GOP get anything. They no longer represent me and in fact are attacking my beliefs. I expect a low turn out whether they pass immigration or not.

F the GOP.

Yes, connect the dots.

Benghazi, Syria, Turkey, Egypt.

Evidence on Mohamed Mursi’s direct link to terror acts in Egypt (like lawless Obama)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3117047/posts

Obama selected Morsi and pushed him into the Presidency of Egypt. Must have also tutored him in how to run a country. Note in the above article, he totally exceeded his constitutional authority repeatedly, not only released but pardoned known Terrorists, made laws up with the stroke of the pen.

When Morsi was removed by public demonstration and threat of civil war, then General Sissi and the military stepped in to avoid the war. Obama then cut off all aid to Egypt and threatened them to force them to put Morsi back in power. (Like he did in Honduras)

Incredible are the similarities between Obama and Morsi in Egpyt.

It won’t help him. Have you noticed the number of pre Primary adds he is running. And the lies he is telling trying to make himself sound like a Conservative.

We know what he is.

He will be primaried.

I think the usual milquetoast suckiness of the official “Republican response” is the reason that whatever tea party group is started doing a separate one.

Cornyn has plagiarized Cruz’ actual action and attack in his ads.

If the House pubbies wanted a really good female speaker who’d take it to the Mahdi, they’d have chosen Marsha Blackburn (TN) who successfully led the patriotic resistance to a state income tax that was proposed by RINO gov. SUNDWUIST.
