Given the massive, high dung pile the DemoRats and Obama have created, and what they have do TO America and its people, the Repubs have a winner.....now, will they just give it away?

They have a habit of giving away elections....

It’s because moderate big business interests bought out the party from the conservative voter.

When you refuse to fight back or in any way defend yourself, people believe your opponents’ lies.

When you agree with your opposition that your base is a gaggle of ignorant racist boobs, your base sits out the election.

When your message is, Me too—just a little slower, it’s hard to get people motivated.

The Rats also use the courts to block voter ID, clean up voting rolls, and other logical steps to avoid fraud. Add to that motor-voter, same-day registration, etc. and the GOP has a 5-7% disadvantage going into election day.

Hard not to be pessimistic after how the R party “threw away” the last two presidential elections.

Because of Mississippi and because the ‘Pubbbies are offering such crappy candidates and platforms?

Democrats are vastly superior when it comes to the mechanics of American politics, and have been for nearly a decade, while the GOP’s technical skills have withered since 2004.

Democrats do anything to win. Lie, cheat, steal, voter fraud, recounts, invasions of privacy, obfuscation, misuse of the criminal and civil legal system to destroy opponents, trumped up false witnesses for character assassination - absolutely anything, whether legal or moral.

And Democrats stick together. They will ALWAYS support the illegal and immoral activity of another Democrat to propagate their vile agenda. No deviance is too repulsive and no crime too heinous if it causes a fellow America hater to win.

Conservative Republicans cannot habitually lie, cheat, or steal without becoming Democrats.

Great candidates like Thad Cochran should overcome Democrats’ technical advantages.

the GOP harnessed the power of volunteers to get out the vote block by block in key states.

The GOP has completely alienated their conservative base. If the national party is going to call conservatives "racist" and bus in illegally-voting minorities to make sure a corrupt milquetoast wins his GOP primary, then it really is a bit much to ask those same conservatives to knock on doors and get out the party vote.

Until there are changes at the national level, the GOP is dead to me as an entity. I vote for conservatives, not Republicans.

It's because a vocal, immoral, minority learned how to take advantage of a silent, morally principled, majority.

Without a hardcore, out-of-character response, Saul Alinsky tactics will continue to rule the day.

Control the message(media/academia)and you control the people.

Democrat voters are all told if they know what’s good for them and they want to keep those government checks coming, they had better get to the polls.

Because the democrat machine affords every voter with 1.35 votes.

Bottom line, the Dims won't "win" the mid-terms, the GOP and Rove will LOSE them and lose big.

We have the most incompetent boob in the WH in our lifetimes. IMHO he's easily wrested that distinction from Jimmy Carter, so the elections should be a walk. The fact that the GOP is floundering spells disaster. For Christ's sake! the man is practically importing ebola into the country, and the GOP has no message to combat him?

We are doomed as a nation, and we deserve the slavery we're getting.

The GOP won in 2004 because of volunteers. I was one of them. I believed Bush was doing the right thing.

The GOP sucked in 2008.

The GOP got better in 2012, but they really need to crank up their game.

Unlike many here, I haven’t given up on them. Redemption is still possible.

Republicans have the tendency to shoot themselves in the foot while trying to get the gun out of the holster.

President George W. Bush was re-elected in ’04 with a vote total 22 percent larger than in 2000, in part because the GOP harnessed the power of volunteers to get out the vote block by block in key states.


I disagree with the writer's premise, "completely".

The modern slick political-consultancy-class (Karl Rove, ad nauseum) believe that Twitter Hash Tags win elections in 2014.

They are complete idiots.

What's "always" won elections ... at EVERY level ... city, state and federal.

Residential neighborhood yard signs.

Residential neighborhood "conversations" up and down the street, block by block.

Neighbor to neighbor.



The GOP-E stopped seeing that kind of "citizen grass roots" enthusiasm when they first nominated Juan McCain in 2008 ...

because it was "his turn" ...

and then with Mitt "Willard" Romney in 2012.



I have personally campaigned, walked neighborhoods, distributed yard signs, worked phone banks since 1992 (Bush vs. Clinton).

NOT with Romney, especially after what he (and Da' Bushes) did to Newt Gingrich.



Things will stay that way, too ... for a MAJORITY of "former" GOP political foot-soldier infantry ...

until John Boehner, Mitch "I'll destroy the Tea Party" McConnell, Thad Cochran, and Karl Rove ...

are LONG GONE.

Democrats will probably retain control of the sENATE.
1. Repubs are stupider than Charlie Brown and the football.
2. Single fornicating women who want free birth control, welfare queens, Too big to fail statist monopolies, hispanics, blacks, asians, undocumented democrats, etc wil vote 90% for a handout.
3. Union workers and thugs will vote to keep their inflated paychecks rather than save America.
4. Leftist, homos, new age techies, millenialists, will all vote Demo because it makes them feel good.
5. Yankees and intellectually burned-out northern and western libtards will reflexily vote democrat.

6. The only ones left to vote conservative are the 30-40% or hard working Americans that pay the freight for the rest of the freeloaders!

Doubt that the blacks and Hispanics will be going to the polls in droves as they did for Obama, to support white RATS who seem to have abandoned Obama.

Why Democrats may keep the Senate

Because it is not for nothing that the GOP is called "The Stupid Party".
