Especially with the tactics the minority in congress and their followers has to use

Lying about attendence in some of Tea Party rallies

Jon Stewart Catches Fox Using 9/12 Footage To Make Tea Party Look Bigger | TPM LiveWire

Video Fix: Fox news uses wrong footage again?

Video Fix: Jon Stewart catches Fox News using wrong footage

And emailing people telling them that their representatives are dead.

U.S. Capitol Police Launch Probe Of Hoax E-Mails Reporting Deaths Of Senators


So based on the tactics Republicans will get a few seats but not the majority.
Do you read anything other than the Huffington Post and do you believe what Jon Stewart of all people has to report? The wrong footage thing apartently had some merit, and was a mistake..The rest, well in a little over 3 months we will know. Will the Republicans take over either house? I don't think so, will they pick up more than a few seats? Most likely a hell of a lot more than a few.

based that fox admitted that they used the wrong footage. I guess it doesnt matter that it was first caught by Jon Stewart. Makes me wonder if no other news agency said anything, would Fox had admitted what they had done?

I think no.

Don't know and neither do you. As for Jon, it isn't just that, he is in league of his own and it isn't a very good one, I will add.

It'd be funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.

You have your blinders on so tight and have drank all the koolaide, to see past Dem vs. Repub. You forget about the most important aspect.

We the independent, unaffiliated. Your not doing a very good job convincing us.

I can't even begin to comprehend the kind of mental gymnastics that you...a self admitted teabagger...had to perform to convince yourself that you're "independent" and "unaffiliated".

I voted for Bill Clinton, twice. Bush once and Ron Paul. I didn't vote for either Dem, or Republican candidate this past election. I was for Paul again.

I vote on the person, not the party.

We need the voice of the people now more than ever. Not a nanny running the show.

GOD Bless America!
I'm sorry but the GOP will lose the House in November because of one reason: the lack of a reasonable plan to give Hispanic immigrants the Path to Citizenship.

Latinos are ANGRY and are ready and willing to support any dem candidate that promises action on the Dreamers.

Last year's shutdown is also not forgotten either...so it is a long shot that the House is GOP controlled by this time next year.

If enough GOP candidates say what they are really thinking...the House goes Dem.
