Dems to run against ´chaos´ in ´14
Politico, by Alexander Burns

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 1/3/2013 4:46:41 PM

Democrats, facing a challenging fight to retake the House of Representatives in 2014, see a promising new line of attack rising out of the fiscal cliff follies: casting the Republican congressional majority as a terminally dysfunctional body that cannot perform the basic functions of government, let alone lead the country through difficult times. It’s a meaningful shift from the Democrats’ message in 2012, when President Barack Obama’s party gained a modest eight seats in the House attacking Republicans as ultraconservative allies of the super-rich. After the past two weeks of tumultuous

Comments:
After collectively kicking our posteriors with new taxes, and more to come, the dRATS are going to be relentless in tearing our Country apart. We have seen with the complete capitulation of the LSM to do the White Houses´ bidding, darker days loom in our future. Reelecting Boehner, makes this all a certainty.

This from the party that hasn´t passed a budget in three years?

It doesn`t matter #1. That was not an issue in 2012 and won`t be in 2014. The MSM ignores it so the country has no idea it even exists. Most people have never heard of Benghazi, let alone Harry Reid and no budget for 4 years. Meanwhile, the Dems are always on the move scheming and conniving while the GOP hide from their own shadow.

Get ready for Speaker Pelosi once again,. The Dems will retake the House in 2014. Massive spending and `stimulus` on the horizon. Our govn is now violating our 8th Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment.

The House should have ignored Obama totally, prepared a budget to solve the problems and told him to sign it or not, they don´t care. Nothing to negotiate. If he signs it: problems solved. If he doesn´t: let ´er tank.

Whatta plan!

1. Create a wholly-artificial set of problems.
2. Mishandle them all.
3. Blame your opponent.
4. Get re-elected.
5. Keep watching you net worth soar... "somehow."

I read this morning that the Dems would have to beat the Republican vote by seven percent to retake the House in 2014. It´s not going to happen if we all row in the same direction.

I don´t know about that, #5. When I hear all the Republican bashing that goes on here, it´s a wonder that we were able to hold the House this time.


Reply 7 - Posted by: cleanhousein2012, 1/3/2013 5:50:08 PM     (No. 9097112)

There are many of us that don´t trust the GOP to represent us, since they´ve done nothing but capitulate to the Dems, while focusing on being a slightly more to the right of the Dems.

The Dems won´t need to run against chaos, because the repubs have done the job of disintermediating their support base. Why vote for a repub who votes like a Dem, when you can vote for the real thing?

I´ll work hard to find an alternative to my RINO congressman, or will vote for his Dem opponent because then I can be sure what I´ll get.

The Repubs are toast, it´s time for a 3rd party.

They plan to re-take the House in a off-year election? If they couldn´t do it with ´O´ on the ticket they´ll never do it in the 6th year of his reign. I don´t care how disorganized the Republicans are at the moment - the Dems are dreaming.

Who is elected to the House almost always depends on local politics. Since just about all the Republicans now in the House, who would be running for re-election, are from Districts that did not vote for Obama, the liberal Democrats will have a hard time knocking them out in sufficient fashion to take over the House in 2014.

Several posters over the last few days have said they plan to quit the Republican party. I did that last summer and found it kind of liberating. I still felt like I needed a shower after leaving the voting booth, but at least they aren´t taking my vote (as much) for granted. Maybe as an "independent" they will listen to me more, since they apparently don´t listen to their own people.
I would seriously consider a conservative party if one emerged. Get ready for "a vote for conservatives is a vote for the dems".

An interesting headline appeared in the lib portion (don´t ask) of our local paper this morning:

"Amodei [new Congressman from northern Nevada] sides with constituents in ´no´ vote"

Imagine that....

Republicans cannot control the lies democrats choose to tell. They can only control their own message. The question is: when will they start?

There already exist a few "third" parties which advocate smaller government and lower spending. Few people have ever heard of them and none has ever gained any real traction. What good would it do to add another to that group?

There´s nothng wrong with bashing pubbies. Maybe they´ll finally get the message. However, when push comes to shove, we´ll all vote republican just to avoid another horror of Peelousy, Reid, and the jerk in the WH running everything and putting the final death knell on the USA.

How many Republican House seats are in districts that also voted for Obama? Fifteen, including mine, and my congressman´s seat is secure. So make that fourteen.
Look for big gains for the GOP in the 2014 primaries. Why? The low-information voters will stay home, because of the Obama tax hike 77% of taxpayers will have a smaller paycheck, and the national debt will be higher than it is now.
We should start grooming Senatorial candidates now.

New York - Police say a gunman used anti-gay slurs before fatally shooting a 32-year-old man in New York City´s Greenwich (GREN´-ich) Village. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Saturday that the shooting, which occurred just after midnight, appears to have been a hate crime. Kelly says the gunman was seen urinating on the street outside a bar. He says the man went into the bar, made anti-gay remarks to the bartender and showed the bartender that he was wearing a holster with a silver pistol. Kelly says the gunman then confronted the victim on the street

Syria’s Assad, in an Interview, Suggests

Beirut, Lebanon — President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, in a rare interview with a foreign newspaper, appeared to dismiss the possibility of serious progress arising from peace talks planned for next month, and to back away from earlier statements by Syrian officials that the government was willing to negotiate with its armed opponents. “We do not believe that many Western countries really want a solution in Syria,” Mr. Assad told Argentina’s Clarín newspaper in an interview published online on Saturday, blaming those countries for supporting “terrorists” fighting his government.

In 1953, the celebrated chemist Linus Pauling, already on track for a Nobel Prize for his work on chemical bonds, solved a major biochemical mystery by figuring out the structure of DNA—but his solution was utterly wrong. Later that decade, the brilliant astrophysicist Fred Hoyle, who had played a major role in discovering how new elements are forged in the core of the Sun, came up with an explanation for the expanding universe. It was known as the “steady-state” theory, and while it was ingenious, it was wrong too. In the early 1900’s Lord Kelvin, one of the founders of thermodynamics,

Seoul - North Korea fired three short-range missiles from its east coast on Saturday, South Korea´s Defence Ministry said, prompting Western powers to urge Pyongyang to exercise restraint. Launches by the North of short-range missiles are not uncommon but, after recent warnings from the communist state of impending nuclear war, such actions raise concerns about the region´s security. "North Korea fired short-range guided missiles twice in the morning and once in the afternoon off its east coast," an official at the South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman's office said by telephone.

An investigation of the Justice Department’s witness protection program uncovered glaring security problems that allowed terrorists who had been given new identities after cooperating with U.S. prosecutors to board commercial flights in the United States. In some cases, suspects whose names were on federal watchlists meant to keep them off commercial aircraft were nevertheless able to board flights because the Justice Department had failed to add their new, government-issued identities to counterterrorism databases. Overall, the Department of Justice Inspector General concluded that there

Seeking to tamp down “noise” over the possible sale of its newspapers, Tribune Co. CEO Peter Liguori sent an email to employees Wednesday calling speculation about a transaction premature. (Snip) One party that has not confirmed interest is garnering nearly all of the attention: Koch Industries, a Kansas-based energy and manufacturing conglomerate headed by politically conservative brothers Charles and David Koch. Their reported interest has generated backlash from unions, political leaders and liberal advocacy groups. Several hundred protesters demonstrated Tuesday outside

Officials on Benghazi:
"We made mistakes,

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
