They might take back the House but they’ll lose the senate.

If the 7 red state Dems up for re-election vote for amnesty, the Rs could take the Senate, which would be proof that the majority of the American people don’t want any form of amnesty (which is the legalization) or path to citizenship. I think those 7 prefer to keep their jobs, so it’s possible amnesty could die in the Senate. And if it dies in the Senate, I would hope it dies in the House. There’s a couple of ways this thing could go.

It doesn’t really matter. The dems are getting everything they want. The Republican establishment lurched to the left after Obama’s reelection; more spending, egregious pork, tax increases, illegal alien amnesty. The Senate is even working on bipartisan gun control. I think the goal is to move so far to the left that conservatives will just throw up their hands and say “you win”. The dems took the opposite approach after GWB was reelected and it worked like a charm.

Obysmal predicts that Pelosi will have the gavel again after the 2014 elections.

Meanwhile, the brain-trus Maxine Waters weighs in on the very powerful data collection that the “very smart” Obysmal has put into place.

Before the election starts I am expecting half the Republicans up for re-election to declare they are now Democrats.

@Rose Bingo. And if the dems keep trying their gun control shtick, the pubs will eat them alive in ’14.

Why? Because the risk/benefits for cheating in House elections leans more toward risk than in presidential elections.

Republicans are legally prohibited from suing Democrats for cheating in presidential elections due to an insane agreement made years ago.

Overblown.

Don’t get me wrong ..there are issues but it is not as bad as some want to believe.

Say why didn’t you copy off all my post???

Republicans dominate at the state level with 30 governorships and control of many more state legislatures than the dems.

This is why the social issues are so important. Social conservatives who are part of the 47% will still vote for conservative Republicans as long as they hold firm on the social issues. If the Republican candidates decide to adopt liberal social views, these conservatives who are part of the 47% will have no reason to vote for them.
