Operation American Spring to hit DC...

People continue to die because of fast and furious. Thats not gone away. Now, whats going to happen this november is going to be much more shocking to the left, because they claim they see no reason to be concerned. The IRS, is just getting started, wait until a select committee is appointed-as 3/4ths of Americans want. Before the elections or after the left loses the senate-it makes no difference. Thats an issue that is not going to go away, and you will be made to realize it.

A lot of this sounds like my mom from back in the day- "just wait til your Dad gets home!" :roll:

First you claimed no one knew about 'scandals' until now but I listed a bunch the TPs have tried for YEARS to make into more than a stink... all were 'known' before 2012 and still the TPs sucked hind tit. :doh

You claim the IRS will be a big stink, but also try and claim the TPs will regain the senate no matter what.... :confused:

I see a lot of emotion and partisanship... but the fact is each election cycle the TPs vilify the left and Obama as beyond the pale... it is starting to get old and what the people REALLY want is a reasoned and RATIONAL path forward....

With guys like Cruz and Rand- good luck with that... ;)
 
And if the democrats manage to take back the house?

And there already is a select commity.

Unlikely to happen, but the facts are the facts. Here they are laid out in another form, for you.
The media ignore IRS scandal: Column

And no, there is not a select committee-thats for Beghazi.

This will require one as well-because it has more teeth than the govt oversight committee, and the dems have proven they will be obstructionist.

Its time you figured out this isn't going away.

This is that classic liberal tactic so prominently on display the last 6 years-burying your head in the sand.
Ignore this at your peril, but be my guest.

You realize Lerner has taken the 5th. Maybe if she had been given immunity she would be willing to talk.
 
Howdy Pol, North Carolina, Tillis won the Republican nomination and is the best candidate to challenge Hagan in November out of those who were vying for the nomination. Tillis lead by a single point in a poll conducted a couple of days after the NC primary. That means it is a dead heat, either could win and neither has an advantage.

As for the rest, I think West Virginia, Montana and South Dakota are fairly sure pick ups for the GOP, Louisiana probably a 60% change for a pick up there. After those four it gets dicey. NC I covered, Alaska and Arkansas are no better than 50-50 with the Democrat in each probably having a slight edge as of today. But to the Republican's dismay, Georgia may send a Democrat to Washington and negate one of the other pick ups. Michelle Nunn has a 50-50 shot of winning Chambliss's seat, perhaps more, perhaps less depending on whom the Republican nominee will be. Now in Kentucky I would say McConnell has only a 55% of retaining his seat there.

If you remember back to 2012, around 6 months out I told the presidency would be decided in the east. If Romney didn't win Virginia, Ohio and Florida to go to bed, Obama would be re-elected. By how certain states in the east again go, You can pretty know about who will control the senate before you head into the Central Time Zone. Look east again Pol, look east.

Okay. I've learned to trust your hunches. :thumbs:

Why so much concern for the left? If the left emplodes, the better for conservatives and the GOP. Let nature run its course.
 
Okay. I've learned to trust your hunches. :thumbs:

If you don't mind let me expound on that, what I mean letting east be your guide.

I will give you 5 states in the Eastern Time zone to watch which may determine whether or not the Republicans gain control of the senate. The first two are Kentucky and Georgia, two state which currently have Republican senators. A loss in either one of these two states would doom the GOP attempt to retake the senate. Mathematically it would still be possible, but a trend for the electorate’s attitude and mentality would have been shown and the trend would not be in the Republican’s favor.

Assuming the Republicans are able to win in both Kentucky and Georgia, keeping their at risk seats, the next two states are North Carolina and West Virginia. West Virginia looks like almost a sure thing, but North Carolina isn’t. To have a realistic chance of winning the senate, the GOP must take both states. With these two states under their belt along with retaining their two at risk states, which means the GOP has only 4 more seats to go. Probably an 80% of winning the senate from this point on. There are 5 states in which Romney beat the pants off Obama in 2012, Montana, South Dakota, Louisiana, Arkansas and Alaska, all the Republicans would have to do if the first 4 states go their way is to win 4 of the 5. Very doable if the trend is going the Republican way. This is not counting blue states like Iowa, Colorado, Michigan which the Republicans still have hopes of winning, although their chances are not as good as the 5 red states I mention.

The last state in the Eastern Time Zone to keep an eye on if the Republicans win the other 4 states here is New Hampshire. A loss in New Hampshire would be expected and wouldn’t hurt the Republicans 80% chance of gaining the senate. But a win in New Hampshire would mean all of a sudden the GOP has only 3 states it needs to gain control and would point to a Republican tidal wave about to hit. If New Hampshire goes Republican, so too might Colorado, Michigan, Iowa and perhaps even Oregon. Now you would be talking about a 10-11 seat pick up.
So my advice is if the GOP loses either Kentucky or Georgia, go to bed, there is no way they will gain the senate. If the Republicans lose in North Carolina, go to bed, the odds are about 90% against them winning control of the senate. But if the Republicans win all four of those states regardless of New Hampshire, you may want to stay up an hour longer and watch the returns from the states in the Central Time Zone. Arkansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan could be the states you are looking at to put the GOP over the top. If not, there is the Mountain Time zone and Montana with Alaska and perhaps Oregon to follow.

Kind of long winded aren't I.

Nope! I could listen to your reasoning for a lot longer than it took me to read this! :mrgreen:

No. I appreciate the analysis.
 
And yet no evidence that match's the nixion tapes in infamy.

Not yet, but the info is slowly making it's way to the surface. Just imagine how much crap Obama would be in if the media went after him, the way they went after Nixon.
 
The 3/4 of Americans figure I provided was referring to a select committee with an independent prosecutor. I wish the left would agree to that.

Con mish-mash, the 3/4 isn't for a select committee but a special prosecutor.... but the reason you think probably isn't the one for a majority of Americans. More than likely the majority feel the GOP will just use the investigation to try and gain political advantage. About the same number say job recovery is more important than any of the IRS/Benghazi/surveillance of reporters the Right wing is pushing.

Only 32% think the Benghazi isn't 'just politics'. 44% say there are concerns over Obama and the IRS.

The GOP isn't getting any bounce from all their investigating, (50% disapproval) and the TPs get a 28% approval rating.
 
The Million Man March all over again, only this time a different crowd.

Weeeellllllll, it was the FBI who went after Nixon. In both the criminal investigation and as the leak to the press, the FBI was the lead and very effective investigation agency. The media didn't focus on the White House connection until one of the burglars wrote the judge claiming of a high level cover-up.

So it was the FBI making a rather quick link of the burglars and the CREP funds, with an FBI leaker, and the burglars not falling on their swords for Tricky Dick. Once one fell the upper managers quickly turned and soon Nixon was alone.

blame the media, but it was good old fashion investigation, and no honor among burglars that doomed Nixon.

Your point?
 
This sounds like idiots on parade, much like the OWS "movement" or the "million man" march. Make lots of noise, display random signs of discontent and offer no positive coherent message or specific support for replacement candidates/policies. The sad fact, in federal politics, is that one may vote for (or against) at most 3 of our 535 congress critters and the POTUS in any given election cycle.

I dont see why everyone needs an orderly and agreed upon mantra when its simply obvious that the people in the government dont represent the average american people. Simply being there is a coherent enough message.

Criticism is not the same as constructive criticism; the first only tells that you are wrong while the second tells you how to not be wrong. ;)
