I'll beg to differ, 2010 was the result in large part to Obamcare. 2014 is going to be for the same reason.

And did you understand what I was saying?

People don't like Obama right now, they didn't so much in 2010. Those are midterms.

Republicans win, vote on stupid **** no one cares about that has no hope of passing the Presidents desk, people get pissed at them again, then in 2012, they voted for Obama.

Republicans win in 2014, pass more stupid legislation that impacts no ones lives and has no chance of getting a 2/3rds vote in both houses, or the Presidents desk.

2016, they'll vote for a Democrat.

Thats the point, Republicans win, but then they do nothing with it.

Factor in massive non white legal immigration, amplified by massive illegal immigration fueled by free handouts left and right....When the gravy train ends what will happen..

The left is importing a never ending wave of poverty in order to import voters, promising everything under the sun and anyone who speaks the truth is a "racist".

When has the majority becoming the minority in their own nation ever been a good thing?

What should we risk our nation?

Why should we risk our culture?

Why should we risk our future?

Why should we risk our economy?

Why should we risk that of our posterity?

Why lose everything and gain less then nothing...

Self-awareness isn't your strong suit, is it?

Poll after poll say that Americans want 3 things.

1. Save social security and medicare, no changes to the programs.
2. Cut defense
3. raise taxes on the wealthy

Now most Americans don't vote in mid terms. Which is why we have a Republican win those years. Then when the President comes around.....

There is a reason why Republicans have lost 5 out of the last 6 popular votes during a Presidential year.
Yeah that cant happen at this rate those programs will be bankrupt...That is not a opinion that is a fact.

Cut defense, I am with you, invest wisely, we need a airborne laser platform and create a Anti ICBM shield, other then that get the hell out of the middle east, we have all the Oil and Gas we could ever need..

Once again that will not solve anything the money gained by such raises will be wasted, or money will be hiding of shore.

You want more tax revenue? Grow the economy, slash taxes, end the corporate income tax, and lift the taxes on moving profits off shore back to America

Unleash America`s massive Oil and Gas deposits, creating millions of jobs, billions in tax revenue, and trillions in wealth.

You popular votes are kind of worthless, and the opinions of fools are worth less then nothing...

And if the Rs do win a plurality in the Senate, it'll go from "do nothing" to "do less than nothing." Instead of addressing real issues that people care about, it'll be another 2 years' worth of futile ACA repeal attempts and Benghazi investigations.

Which proves what about your point that Republicans would get more votes if illegal immigration would be stopped?

Legal immigrants, which at last count was just fine with Republicans as well, is not massive.

The fact is this, poor people have lots of babies. They don't have much else to do. Poor people vote democratic in large numbers. The fact that minorities have more poor people then whites, well, thats another argument to have at another time.

How is what I said, "racist" this is a fact...

Why should legal immigration have race based quotas? Should it not be based on merit and skills and have a cap on it?

I see you choose to blame the illegals that aren't voting, unless of course you assume anyone brown or speaks Spanish is illegal.

And? Obama isn't running for election and these elections are decided by each individual state and not on a national level.

If you want to base it on approval, Congress ranks the worst, yet they all keep getting reelected.
