The numbers are close enough not to matter. Conservative districts will not kick out a conservative Republican no matter what happens, and in the end (over time) Obama will take the blame by a slight majority. House members are not elected by national elections, presidents are. So if anything it will be a wash, maybe a few swing districts will be lost at worst, but nothing major.

The GOP does need batter and stronger leadership. Ones who can follow what the NRA just did.

You sure they’ll do that, or will they rape, loot and pillage like savages instead?

If they do that, they won’t be the kee-yoot widdle poor people into whose mouths we have to shove the money we earn for great justice, now would they?

Obama caving?

President Obama is offering a proposal to Senate GOP leaders that would prevent looming tax hikes and spending cuts, according to Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.). Brown said in messages on Twitter and Facebook that he had "learned" of the proposal. "Heading back to dc. Just learned that the Pres. reached out to Senate GOP leadership with a proposal," Brown wrote on Facebook. "It is the first such proposal to be put forth. Eager to see why it is. How it is serious." If Obama is making a proposal, it is not clear what would be included. On Friday, the president said he would reach for a smaller deal that would extend tax rates on annual incomes below $1 million while allowing rates above that threshold to rise. Obama also said he would seek an extension of unemployment benefits, but would put off broader entitlement reforms until next year, as well as a hike to the debt ceiling.

There’s no escaping Obama’s disastrous economic and debt record.

Cry me a river.

There’s no escaping Obama’s disastrous economic and debt record. We will always point to it to remind you why your policies fail in real life.

The majority of Americans proved on November 6 that facts don’t matter. They are more interested in what’s in it for them, and turn to Socialist dogma like a narcotic.

Binders, Big Bird and bayonets triumphed over reason and logic. That cannot be understated.
