Democrats' hope in 2014 is for Republicans to get kooky again

Democrats are in a curious political position in this year’s congressional election campaign. Their chance of avoiding political disaster depends more on the Republicans offering up another batch of right-wing dimwits as candidates and less on convincing voters that that the good times are back.

So far, establishment GOP candidates has done fairly well fighting off challenges from the tea party, which does not bode well for Democrats.

It must be pretty bleak for the RAT party when their best “hope” is what the other party does, not what ‘they’ can do.

David Horsey draws some clever cartoons, but he is a hardline liberal Democrat, as he frequently demonstrates.

I wonder what his cartoons would look like if Benghazi had happened while there was a Republican President?

The Empire strikes back.

Looks like ‘Rat strategy to limit losses is to put forth drivel in the LA slimes, in a weak attempt at reverse psychology... Rs win if they just shy away from the GOPtp.

Once in a while he has one that is non-partisan or even makes fun of his own side.

There was one a while back showing the Democrats about to host a big triumphant reception in honor of Hillary for President in 2016, when one of them asks "What is Plan B?" and the other responds in shock, "Plan B?"

or American hero’s dying due to neglect at the VA under George Bush.....

and while I try and stay positive i’ve come to fully expect the GOPe snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in November once again...

[Eagle Forgotten]

Yes, we all remember how the Tea Party kookiness in 2010 produced a Democratic landslide.

No bias and editorialization in this article.

Ya mean like Jeb praising LBJ?

[vicar7]

Yes let’s have no establishment candidates like Akin blowing up again please. He was not the Tea Party choice you know.

RE :”Yes let’s have no establishment candidates like Akin blowing up again please. He was not the Tea Party choice you know”

Hey, there were many here who immediately jumped to his defense claiming he said nothing wrong, I can only assume that they didn't know that.

[vicar7]

He and the career politician in IN should be ashamed for falling into the trap. It will be tried again you can take that to the bank.

[GeronL]

There is nothing more kooky than the left

[Luke21]

As if Democrats aren’t kooky.

[GeronL]

So, we can only defend someone if they are a TEA Party candidate now?
