Featured NBC News Pollsters 'Shocked' By Horrible Numbers For GOP, Politicians (VIDEO)

Whole-heartedly disagree.

The Democrats are too committed to socialism to allow even a horrible abortion of a healthcare program like ACA die. They believe deep in their shallow little hearts that it is absolutely necessary. Why? Well, trust me, it ain't got nuthin' tuh do with caring about uninsured poor people.

It has everything to do with those same uninsured poor people voting Democrat. So good, bad, horrible, utterly destructive -- whatever the ACA winds up being won't go away as long as the Democrats have control of the Senate. That's why the Republicans need to stand firm, and force the one-year delay in the individual mandate. Next year, Republicans will have control of the Senate, and the ACA will be history. Even the Democrats, deep in their shallow little hearts, know this is an absolutely horrible program, and when faced with a GOP majority in the House and Senate, the moderates will abandon Comrade Reid and the Great Pretender, and join the Republicans in repealing this piece of dog-doo.

 

Next you will be telling me that there is no transmigration of souls in spite of your tears, CBT.

 

And you think Obama would not veto any legislation repealing ACA?

 

Of course he will. Between the GOP majorities in both houses and the moderate Democrats who will have to answer to their constituents both next year and in 2016, they will vote to override. As I said, deep in their shallow little hearts, they know this is bad legislation, and they will not vote to keep it when the majority of the American people quite simply do not want it. You can't ignore the majority and keep your job as a legislator. Not for long anyway. The liberal-socialists among the Democrats are about to find that out.

 

You keep touting the GOP numbers falling and utterly ignore the fact that the Great Pretender's numbers have fallen a far greater distance in a much shorter amount of time, and that Democrat's numbers are the lowest they've been among the middle class in 40 years. Good luck with those rose-colored glasses. I hear they fail to function very well around cliffs.

 

So you think there will be 67 senators voting to override a veto? If the Republicans happen to have a majority in the Senate it is likely to be a thin majority, maybe 51-49. And you're predicting 16 Dems will join them? Fantasy!

 

Nope. There are 21 Democrats in the Senate up for reelection in 2014, and over half are vulnerable at this juncture. Given the mood of the country right now, as voters know Democrats won't take down the ACA, fully three quarters of those could be vulnerable by November 4 next year. If the GOP were to win just 60% of those, it could give them a 55-45, and it could be as high as 57-43. There are 11 moderates in the Moderate Democrats Working Group in the Senate. Admittedly, McCaskill (D-Missouri) and Udall (D-Colorado), won't vote to repeal. But they could be convinced to gut the program, which is the next best option. Yes, I think the legislation will be repealed. We'd better pray it is, because it will ruin this country.

 

I despise the Democratic Party, but that is another subject. Given how blame for this shutdown and deficit is going, I will not be surprised to see both Houses Democrat this time next year. Not that it helps our country or solves any problems, but that is my prediction.

 

Or, maybe, for once, the Republicans are trying to do the right thing, rather than please voters.

Why do you assume that "obstructive" is a bad thing? If you were walking down the street and saw a man raping a woman in an alley, wouldn't you try to obstruct him? If a bear was mauling your child, wouldn't you want someone to try to obstruct the bear?

 

Do not get my post wrong, the person one votes for and person one thinks will win are two different subjects. If CTB and I have criticism of the Republicans, it is for reasons that are 180 degrees out. CTB thinks Republicans (establishment) are too conservative. His criticism comes from that point of view. Mine (like Mitch McConnell for example) comes from the fact that they are too much like Democrats. That does not make CTB and Constitutionalists allies.

 

So you think there are 11 Democratic senators that are vulnerable. That's a lot. Let's your list, because I think it's more like 5 or 6.

< snip rest of wishful thinking >

 

I agree. Republicans have damaged their reputation with the shutdown and it will come back to haunt them.

 

SN, do you think it possible that McConnell's seat could go Democratic?

 

From the talk of my acquaintances, friends, coworkers, and church members, yes it is very possible. It is also possible that he will lose the primary. In his past reelection bids, the vote has been close. I believe the only reason he has held on is that being a Congressional leader helps a state out. With McConnell, people here are tired of his bowing to Democrats over and over and two, that goes beyond the liberal-conservative debate, he is just not a very likeable person.

On a national level, voters of Kentucky tend to vote Republican unless the Democrat is either from the South or shows moderate to conservative tendencies. On the state and local level, the voters vote Democratic more often than not. We have a Democrat governor.

I would say the final decision on that question will depend on how this shutdown and deficit ceiling story work out. Anyway, for me, I have voted for him five times for Senate, but next year, my vote will go to his opponent Thirty years is long enough, especially for someone who was elected running against big spending Democrats, then turns right around and plays footsie with them.

 

S/N might. But it's next to impossible.
