This is excellent good news.
The Tea Party (aka The Creature of Dr. Rovenstein) will ultimately destroy the GOP. You can't finance and legitimize the worst elements of the Right Wing fringe like that, and then expect them to keep doing your bidding.
Just giving the
publicnutters what they want . . .What Republican Voters Want
http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/what-republican-voters-want/?partner=rss&emc=rss
. . . I gotta' say, sometimes watching a death spiral can be mighty entertaining!
Reads like a recruitment ad for moderate Dems to run in any contestable (R) district. I know, that may not sound like a lot, but it's a start.
The inevitable result of their gerrymandering.
Bob McConnel for Senate.
That is freaking GENIUS, Twitty! I would pay cash money to again watch that little psycho ride his Shetland pony across the High Prairie, spout completely meaningless sound bites, and shoot his big (too big to wield in only one of his tiny hands) gun at paper targets of Osama Bin Laden (I wonder who he'd use now?).
This would be good news if the Democrats would ever take advantage of it. In order to do this, they need to hang the national party and the stupid stuff done in other states around every single damn "Republican." I.e. they need to nationalize this election just like the Republicans did in 1994. Frankly, this is the only time that that can happen in the next eight years, because they have a lame duck President with the national clout to do it. But I bet anyone $10 that our dear community organizer President doesn't have the balls and won't do it because he doesn't want to hurt feelings. And no one else could possibly pull the Democratic Party together to do it. So, this fact. which has been true for over 20 years, won't make a difference to Democrats at all, because they don't know how to push their advantage.
You're probably right, Craig.
If the republicans had this "sword of Damacles" hanging over the Democrats, it would be a far different story. They are ruthless, deliberate, and remorseless when given the opportunity to tear down or destroy………..anyone.
Building, governing, moving the Nation forward, doing the job, that's not them, but carnage, chaos, and the politics of destruction? That's them.
On the other hand, I honestly don't see this as being as positive a temperature reading as some. Reason being, in hopelessly baggered Districts (Colorado has 3) Representatives are elected by an ideologically and theologically extreme base to disrupt, destroy, and eliminate the Federal Government regardless of the consequences to the Nation. In really republican Districts, when sane, common sense candidates are destroyed in primaries, the outcome is a hideous and deformed mutancy that has allready paralyzed the House and Senate for 5 years.
I just don't buy the idea of a really extreme, whacked, nutcase teabagger like say lamborn or chaffitz or steve king (r-IA) or mike lee ever being bested by a Democrat, no matter how talented he/she might be. So the worse they get, the more fragile and vulnerale our Democracy becomes.
I't is scary to me.
It’s called the stupid party for a reason.
Remember, Itlduso, it was one of their own who called them that. It seems like the poor Rs will just have to wait for those old white guys to die out. The younger generation (20-30-somethings) aren't having much of that nonsense. The rebellion agains their parents isn't as loud as in earlier generations, but it exists. In the mean time, while the teabaggers spout their anti-gummit rants, Democrats need to remind people and keep reminding them that the highest number of net tax recipients are in the reddest states.
nice racism bro, and it's totally cool too, because it's against white people
Nope, just pointing out that the old white guys run your beloved GOP. If the GOP had any kind of regard for young people, or women, or anyone darker than a latte with extra 2% milk, you might have a point. Nice butthurt, bro.
Except, of course, that the Republican seem to be doing just fine in the several states. Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida all voted for Obama in the 2012 election, but have right wing controlled state legislatures and state governorships. Obama can not get anything done in Congress, percisely because of the power of the right wing in the House and the threat they can represent to Republican senators up for re-elections in 2014.
The US populace is overwhelming in favor of background checks. How is that working out for Obama and the Dems in Congress? How is anything working out for Obama and the Dems in Congress?
I will pause for the "sound and fury signifying nothing" comments. My observation is valid and my concern is real. I would welcome comments that say how does this current poll jive with what is actually happening politically.
Remember, the Dems won the popular vote in 2000. That went well.
Bah! Humbug!
Good morning Dwyer.
By the time the screen loads, it will be night. Sleep well, CT. sleep well.
Thanks. (I was mostly kidding…). We Dems are lucky the other team are Republicans.
