With just a few days remaining before the midterm elections, the Democrats are limping to the finish line. We are in the closing days of the 2014 campaign, and in Democratic campaigns across the country, none of the real issues are being discussed. There is no justification for the Democrats to declare there is peace and prosperity, and certainly none of them are promoting a message of hope and change. The Democrats’ campaigns have been a series of denials, comical disassociation and outright clumsy lies that will only further alienate voters from the political process.
Say what you want to about the Republicans’ lack of a message, but the Democrats – the party in power – are clearly exhausted. Starting with the White House, they have nothing affirmative to say, and the final days of campaigning appear to be more about who is to blame rather than how to turn out the vote. In some of the closest races around the country, the Democrats are desperately attempting to hold on to power.
Senator Mary Landrieu is throwing in the towel. She dealt the race and gender cards all in one desperate hand in an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, where she claimed that the people who elected her in the past have actually been sexist all along. And, she blames racism for the president’s unpopularity in Louisiana – not his incompetence, the stagnant economy or the president’s anti-oil and gas agenda that has such a big impact on the state. She appears to be auditioning for a job with the Obama Administration (which won’t require her to return to Louisiana anytime soon.) I wonder if she has already whispered to the White House where she would like to serve as an Ambassador.

I’m not voting precisely because of a Republican lack of message.
The GOP is running to better manage the status quo than the Democrats. That’s not change.
1994 and 2010 were truly historic elections. 2014 is meh.
But you are voting/ You are voting for the Democrat by staying away. You aren’t smart at all.
>> I’m not voting precisely because of a Republican lack of message.
That makes you part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Please reconsider.
the GOPe...may not BE “all that” as the yout say....
the demoncracks aim is to destroy America as we have known it
Thank you
Well, we can have a “victory” party. After all, the nonvoters are going to be the huge majority this election. 2016 is looking like it’ll go that way as well. I think we might’ve seen the last election where a majority of those eligible bother to show.
“I’m not voting precisely because of a Republican lack of message.”
The democrats thank you! Although I agree with your points, not voting for a republican is a mistake.
Where’s the small government message? Restoring our freedoms, rebuilding our military and repealing Obamacare?
If you expect the moderates who’ll probably fill the Senate to give those to us, you’re in a long wait.
I’m not a fool. The GOP hasn’t done a thing to earn my vote. And they’ll be better than the Democrats - how?
I think Obama is preaching peace and prosperity. Wonder why the DEMs aren’t singing the same tune.
Surely there were local races and issues to vote on?
Well the Democrats damn sure have a message, and if you don’t vote for Republicans, you are supporting it.
By empowering them, you’re enabling them to work with Obama to destroy what’s left of America.
We won’t get the change we want. Because we haven’t demanded better.
I like Ted Cruz but he’ll probably be a minority of one. Our republic is being undermined for want of men of principle.
C’mon ... hold your nose and VOTE
The alternative is MUCH worse.
And the GOP isn’t inspiring us with Reaganite optimism, why the heck not?
The candidates are so boring I feel like I’m in the company of an undertaker.
I ain’t exactly feeling sunshine and morning in America again from the party.
She put her foot right in her mouth.
She can’t explain why she won elections in such a racist/sexist state.
She decided to throw her own ass under the bus.
Buh-Bye Mary.
Your an idiot.
If your moderates agree with the Democrats - in what way would Harry Reid be worse?
Now if they were conservatives, I’d feeling good to go to vote...
Would you support Ted Cruz as Majority Leader?
Use your brain to figure out where this is going.
I would.
But you know as well as I do that Mitch McConnell will run the place AND nothing will change.
“Nervous Tick” is exactly right -— YOU are a part of the problem ... a very LARGE part.
Get the hell out and vote for every damned Republican you can find on the ballot!
Otherwise, be prepared to shoulder the blame for the Democrats’ total destruction of your country.
How do I know that?
Get your people on board now.
I can say the ones silent are the ones in charge.
Smack Lamar Alexander over the head a few thousand times and it will happen.
