There’s No Guarantee of a ‘Wave’ Election: Much work remains until GOP can party like it’s 1994.

Yes. Take the win. Obama and Jarrett dread losing the Senate and it seems some Freepers dread winning it. Just bizzare. Remember” RINO” Scott Brown did more damage to Obamacare by preventing it from going into reconciliation then Ted Cruz’s antics ever did.

So why fold the MSM tent around Obama now? They have to cleanse themselves of their mistake supporting this clown for so long, and they have to have it over and done with well before 2016 when they will again be foursquare for Hillary (or whoever ends up the eventual Democrat candidate.)

Not a bad theory. It certainly fits with the current facts re: news coverage. I too sense a change. But my trust of the MSM makes me reluctant to believe that it is going to last through November. But your analysis does make sense. And your view of how the 2014 election will turn out is pretty much on the mark. My Bet: A good shot at the Senate but not a 1994 or 2010 election.

This could never happen with the GOPe types you elected.

That's probably true. But the argument that replacing these GOPe types with Democrats that will be in place (in the Senate) for at least 6, possibly 12 or 18 years is absolute foolishness. GOPe Senators vote with us at least 70% of the time or so. Dems vote with us about 0%.

RE: And what did the GOP do in ‘94? Used their contract with America like a piece of toilet paper.

1) We had welfare reform.

2) America had a BUDGET SURPLUS several years in a row at the end of the 1990’s.

3) Capital gains taxes went DOWN.

Just three things off the top of my head.

I agree. Nothing that the RINOs are saying make me want to go out and vote this Fall. No guts, not vote.

“This is a long war. We need small victories along the way or we are doomed to defeat.”

Bush I - No new Taxes

Bush II - No child left behind, Mr. Roberts

McCain, Romney

In Texas John Wayne McCornyn, he is one of us.

can you elaborate on those small victories?

They delayed Obamacare for a couple of decades.

70% but not on amnesty, after that it won't matter anymore.
