Keep a close eye on 2014.
“We heard similar leading up to the 2012 election. The Pubbies were supposed to take 5 seats or more and take control of the Senate. Instead, in their usual pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory style, they actually lost seats.”
Well hopefully we don’t TOTAL IDIOTS in 2014, as we managed to do in 2012.
South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD)ought to loose big time as he voted for Obmacare, supported cap and trade and will likely fully agree with Obama’s gun grab. Since his massive stroke in 2006 he has only made limited appearances as his speech is still affected and had no debates with his opponent during his last run for his Senate seat. I think the people of South Dakota might be appalled at how much his stroke affected his judgment.
If the Republicans do not define themselves and define themselves as the solution to Obama in the eye of the low-information voter, they will continue to lose elections.
Right now, losing elections appears to be the Republican strategy.
I have a relative who is the county sheriff. He is a dim. I have never understood why. He is a Christian. But the dims got him to run for election some years ago, backed him, and he won. Now they continue to back him. He has played with switching parties because he is afraid that he is going to be held liable at the next election for Obama and his policies. I told him he will, and should. I told him, you support the dims, you are a dim, you say you are a Christian, yet you support a party that pushes abortion and homo marriage. How can you do that? I think he is a coward. He had rather throw out what he says he believes in to stay in office. He is afraid that if he changes from dim to rep that he will not get reelected, but if he stays a dim, he might not get reelected. I again, believe him to be a coward for not standing up for his Faith and not a political party. Basically, he makes me sick. I have never voted for him and will not. If he jumps parties, I have thought that I still cannot vote for him even if he switches. The switch would only be because he fears that he will be liable because he was a dim.
You just described the majority of LEO’s in this country. They are mostly men (and a few women) who are devoid of any moral compass. Whose main goal is to stay elected and then go into retirement and continue to live handsomely off the voters. Oh and most of them are into abuse of their office and the citizens they claim to “serve.”
The Dem leadership can coerce whatever they want from the people. They know where all of the skeletons are hidden just as they do with the -R’s. When Harry and thge “Queen bitch of the House” proclaim something done, IT GETS DONE”.
America’s only hope at this point is that the left’s grip on Washington is merely a side effect of the Obama personality cult and that in elections where he isn’t running—2014,2016—the Obamatons stay at home.
But I don’t think so.
If the demosocialist want this bad enough they will get the vote in the senate even if it were to mean they would actually lose control of the senate, if there are anymore elections or possibly they now have the “ground game” to win any state or will have by Nov. 2014.
It’s more of tussle over whether to increase federal funding for federal government or for state and local governments (pork).
I sympathize. I have a sister who actually said to me “I guess I’m a SOCIALIST!”
And she works for the city, as the comptroller for the FIRE DEPARTMENT! (eek!)
Old Irish saying:
Ye can pick your friends, but your relatives get WISHED on ye.
The red state senators are looking for bribes. They will vote for the jug eared Kenyan’s gun control if the price is right. Just like they did with obama care.
Thanks SeekAndFind. Not only this — they’ll also vote against Obamacare, you just wait and see. /flashback
