In Indiana , we have a Congresswoman Susan Brooks. She is a nice smart woman. But she is another GOP persona that still doesn’t get it.
Shewas on local radio show yesterday sayoing we had to have a bill so Obama won’t use an EO for amnesty. She said we could add border security into it and pass a good bill.
What she totally misses is that Obama is already choosing to not enforce any law at all if he doesn’t want to.
The boneheads in Congress can’t really believe that Obama could easily sign a law like this, then choose to ignore it.
If the GOP is dumb enough to fall for this, they will lose all the gains they had and have almost no chance to ever be elected again.
This is what I worry about.
Just before getting on that train to their worker paradise.
Lots of people remember, situations like what riots did to Boston in 1968, Hough neighborhood never recovered from busing riots in Cleveland, the list goes on.
Boehner is a result of Republican managers who want to be loved by the media. We won last week in spite of those short sighted idjits.
Pray America is waking
Sure, we’d be better off with Ken Buck II: Electric Boogaloo, where he blows another Senate race. Instead, a candidate who was just as conservative as Buck (but knew when to keep his mouth shut) ran and won, and Buck ran in a safe GOP House seat and won easily; let Buck hone his skills a bit before running him for the Senate again.
The problem isn’t, and never has been, conservative candidates running; the problem is that bad candidates tend to lose elections, even if they are conservative. Sometimes a seemingly polished candidate will screw up and blow a race for us (like Congressman Todd Akin in MO in 2012), but usually after a candidate has run several races he avoids big mistakes and has a better chance of winning. We were able to pick up 9 Senate seats this year because our candidates were both conservative *and* disciplined.
What are you so upset about if you won?
Move on with your sad moderate self.
I do think that the Ferguson riots also hit a small chord with the voters. Not a huge one, but influential enough. Many people voted for Obama to assuage their white guilt and with the hope that racial relations would improve. They have not, they have gotten worse. And when they see the administration take part in siding with lawlessness, they find it offensive.
I do see his point about having better candidates, but I think they were more disciplined. For the first time since I can remember, the GOP did not have any unforced errors, which are usually jumped on by the media an applied with a wide brush to every Republicans (think Todd Akin from MO).
Just because you’re a lady doesn’t give you the right to insult me or lie about me. I am “moderate” only in that I’m not going to tell you where you can stick your idiotic comments.
I didn’t lie about you. I thought and still do think, you’re a moderate.
I’m interested in conservatism about which you have nothing to say.
Yawn.
When you consider the United Mine Workers and all the associated jobs lost in power plant and coal mine closings, there are a lot of PO-ed people out there who might have voted Dem as in years past, but were looking out for their livelihoods and families in the Midterms.
It is pretty obvious the EPA will continue destroying what jobs they can without some change of management...
Finally, you understand.
“It now appears as if this shooting rallied more whites than blacks to the polls for this midterm election.”

Maybe some of those who so loved to wallow in white guilt are beginning to wake up to the fact that black does not automatically make right anymore than white automatically makes right and telling the truth does not make a person a racist. If Al Sharpton says that Jeffrey Dahmer was a hideous monster he is correct and if David Duke says that Sharpton is a con artist he is also correct. Neither statement has any bearing on whether or not Sharpton is a black racist or Duke is a white racist. Both are simply observations of reality.
