Obama like many progressives only care about vets every four years.
Thats a good way to put it.
Obama like many progressives only care about vets every four years.
Classic leftist tactics. Intended to make this appear as a failure. Of course, people like you have said the same about the TEA Party before, and it cost you the 2010 election. Perhaps you guys are slow learners. Heres the news-its going to be even worse for you this november. Get a pen. Write it down. Its happening.
Operation American Spring to hit D.C. to oust Obama, Biden, Boehner, Holder - Washington Times
People are getting pissed out there. Going after BOTH sides of the aisle, as they should.
More info on OAS here.
Speaking of slow learners, some CONs use the same worn out old excuses for failure.... covering them over like a cat in the litter box....
To point, the 2012 elections... IF the CON wave to sweep the leftists out was in full swing by the noble TPs.... ummmm why does the White House still have Obama in it and why did the TP darling, DeMint failed MISERABLY (lost seats) at gaining the Senate for the GOP??? (So arrogantly was Demint predicting the take-over, and he refused to endorse Willard for President so he could concentrate on winning back the Senate, that when he failed he tucked tail and fled to a CON think tank) :roll:
Even in the House the GOP lost seats, 8, I do believe, so maybe you should use a pencil... eace
Most prognosticators would say it is too close to call. here is a list of what they are saying. Still a very long time to go.
Professional Prognosticators Senate predictions as of 16 May 2014. Current senate consists of 55 Democratic held seats 45 Republican held seats.
Charlie Cook 47 Democratic 46 Republican: Tossups (6 Democratic held seats) Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, and North Carolina. (2 Republican held seats) Georgia and Kentucky (Democrat to Republican West Virginia, Montana, South Dakota) (No Republican to Democratic seats)
For the Republicans to take control of the senate according to Cook, they must retain Georgia and Kentucky and win 3 of the 6 Democratic held seats he lists as tossups.
EP 50 Democratic 50 Republican: No toss ups (Democrat to Republican Louisiana, West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, North Carolina) (No Republican to Democratic seats)
EP states the Democrats retain control of the senate by the slimmest of margins with VP Biden casting the deciding votes.
Nate Silver 538, 49 Republican 48 Democratic: Tossups (3 Democratic held seats Alaska, Louisiana, and North Carolina. (Democrat to Republican Arkansas, Montana, South Dakota, West Virginia). (No Republican to Democratic seats.)
Nate says the Republican’s must win 2 of the three seats he lists as tossups. Nate and Cook are basically saying the same thing.
RCP 50 Democrat 50 Republican (Democrat to Republican, Alaska, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, West Virginia) (No Republican to Democratic seats.)
RCP no toss up predicts the Democrats remain in control of the senate by the slimmest of margins, a tie with VP Biden casting the deciding votes.
Rothenberg 49 Democrat 49 Republican: Tossup (2 Democratic held seats) Louisiana and North Carolina (Democrat to Republican, West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, Arkansas) (No Republican to Democrat seats)
For Stuart Rothenberg the Republicans can gain the senate by winning the two tossup Democratic held states of Louisiana and North Carolina. The Democrats will remain in control if they just win one of the two tossups.
Sabato 48 Democrat 48 Republican: 3 Tossups (4 Democratic Held seats) Alaska, Arkansas, North Carolina, Louisiana (Democratic to Republican, West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana) (No Republican to Democratic seats)
It comes down for the Republicans to win 3 of the 4 tossup seats if they are to gain control of the senate per Larry Sabato.
House of Representatives: Currently 234 Republican 201 Democrat. 218 seats needed for a majority.
Cook: Republicans 231, Democrat 190 Tossups 3 Republican held seats, 11 Democratic held seats
EP: Republicans 232, Democrat 203 no Tossups Democrats gain 2 seats
Silver: No House predictions as of yet.
RCP: Republicans 231, Democrat 188 Tossups 3 Republican held seats, 13 Democratic held seats
Rothenberg: Republicans 227, Democrat 192 Tossups 7 Republican held seats, 9 Democratic held seats
Sabato: Republican 230, Democrat 195 10 Tossups 4 Republican held seats, 6 Democratic held seats.
If you look at these numbers, the Republicans will probably gain 2-5 seats.
Greetings, Pero. :2wave:
There is over two years yet to go, but aren't the odds diminishing a tiny bit for the Dems to keep control of the Senate, or am I not remembering the past several months correctly? It seems like the race is getting closer on the toss-ups, but maybe I'm wrong, and you do keep track. NC is the one I'm most interested in, since I have relatives there.
Here are a couple of Gallup polls along the lines you are speaking of"
Many Americans View Congressional Leaders Negatively
Ahead of Midterms, Anti-Incumbent Sentiment Strong in U.S.
Three in 10 Voters Say They Will Vote to Oppose Obama
What? The mid-term congress critter elections are in November of this year.
Lol... 3 in 10 voters say they will vote to oppose Obama? So... 3 in 5 Republicans will vote against Obama... I'm shocked really.

Obama was successful in hiding his scandals, and Obamacare fail until after the election. He would not have won otherwise. 2010 was in direct response to the actions of the left, as 2014 will be.
Ahhhh the CON excuse machine in action.... hiding scandals, Obamacare 'fail' and the 'culprit' beats Mr. Businessman... :roll:
I remember the CONs trying to blame Obama for everything to include Dr. Pepper 10 and they LOST ground in 2012.
What actions on the 'left' are you referring to now? the TPs seem at a loss to come up with a real crowd pleaser- I'd say they shot there ACA wad in 2010 and the thrill is gone... benghazi isn't going to work, the BLM/Bundy debacle isn't much.... the VA mess is horrid (I am a vet) but it will not burn up the chain of command anymore than Iran/Contra did. But keep swinging. :2wave:
Now back on topic from the CON fluffer doodle... been on the Right wingnut bloggersphere for 6, 6, 6 months- a Col. had 1 MILLION RSVPs and now every excuse in the book is being used to deflect from an ABJECT failure of the CON extremists. :doh
it rained
Bundy
work
didn't know
sun was in my eyes
oh, that was THIS weekend.... :doh
Im sorry, did we know about Obama's numerous scandals until after the election? Outside of Benghazi-which was still very recent, no we did not.
Was Obamacare sticker shock yet widespread? No, it was not.
Like I said, if what we know now (and have for the last year) was known then it would have been quite different. Remember, both sides didn't have the muscle of the IRS working against it.
are you hoping the investigations will undue the results of the election?

Laughing, let's see pre- 2012 the TP rants were death panels and rationed care. A series of old white guys begged us to not let Obama kill them by running their insurance out of town. Fast and Furious... you forgot that???? :shock: GSA gone wild??? Solyndra, War Powers Act and Libya, Deam Act, Sestak....
Face is, the TPs have had a field day attempting to create a wave of shock and outrage- it worked somewhat in 2010, it failed miserably in 2012 (a national election year) and now the best many TPs can do is just shake a fist and mutter, "just wait and see!" :doh
(the IRS whine does seem a bit like, "The sun was in my eyes")
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. :2wave:

Would you change your opinion if there was proof that the administration deceived the American people to protect the campaign? I mean, that's why Nixon resigned, ya know?
What if democrats keep the senate?
And yet no evidence that match's the nixion tapes in infamy.
Well then I think there will still be enough out there to get a select committee, 3/4ths of Americans support that and an independent prosecutor.
