While I disagree with many of Jonathan's political views, the man is a patriot that believes in upholding the constitution, even if it curtails what he would like to see America become.
I have seen many predictions that the Republicans are going to gain in the House and take back the senate. Many of the conservative posters in here will not like what I have to post, but I believe these predictions are wrong. I predict not only will the Republicans lose more seats in the senate, I also believe the Democrats will also regain control of the house as well.
When a person like Turley who has leftist politics is dismayed at how not only passive congress is, but how inert they are as well, that does not bode well for the Republican Party. When a leftist is asking where is the fight from the Republican Party in defending the constitution, that is not a good sign.
The Republican Party is completely worthless. They are nothing more than the Democrat party's rubber stamp. Establishment RINOs like Karl Rove, Boehner, Graham, McCain, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConjob, and others like them who are nothing more than deep blue jackasses in elephants clothing have turned the Republican Party into the party of "surrender before the battle has begun", the party of "The Democrats rubber stamp". When a leftist like Turley is urging Republicans to fight, why would any conservative or libertarian waste their time voting for a spineless coward socialist Republican? I have a motto: "I usually vote 3rd party, sometimes I will vote Republican, but I will never....ever vote for a Democrat".
I can clearly differentiate between the TEA party Republican vs deep blue jackasses in elephants clothing like Graham, Boehner and many other Republicans, and while I don't completely agree with the TEA party movement, I will vote for them simply because at this point in time they are the only hope in completely reversing this country in going in a drastically wrong direction.
In the area I live, there are no real Republican running, they are like Jake the fake Starkey and JoeB131, people who lie about being Republicans. For 2014, I will not be voting for any Republicans, I refuse to support the party of that America-hating traitor Karl Rove. I believe there are many other voters libertarian and conservative alike who feel the same way. Seriously, what ideas has the party of Karl Rove come up with? NONE!
In conclusion, I believe the establishment RINOs will lose ground to the TEA party within the Republican Party, however, the like of Rove, Graham, Boehner and such have so destroyed the Republican Party, I don't believe enough people will come out to vote republican to keep them in power in the house or to keep their current seats in the senate. The best thing that can happen to the Republican Party for the future is after the 2014 election is to hear the word, "former senator" Lyndsey Graham, Mitch McConjob, and former representative John Boehner. And the words I would love to hear, "Karl Rove has been indicted."
Any time a leftist it trying to do the fighting for the Republican Party is a not a good sign going into an election.
