Woah there, horsie. Independents and moderates may not be in love with the Dems as they seemed to be in '08. But that's a faaaar cry from "breaking" right and voting for the extremists being fielded by the Republicans right now. The Democrats "screwing things" is reason to sit on your butt this November, but it's not a reason to vote extremist Republican! The whole point of "voter apathy" is that the Obama majority (which included independents and moderates) realizes they did not get the change they voted for. So they are going to rush out and vote AGAINST the change they voted for?
Why was the "
Change" slogan the most effective? Republicans. We - Want - No - More - Republicans, was what the voting demonstrated. Now, the change has not come, as Obama and the Democrats have put up liberal window-dressing while changing very little. Democrats are sucking pretty hard, according to the left-wing base itself. But who sucks harder? The GOP. The party that was NOT
fiscally conservative even though they claimed to be. The party that did NOT
secure the border in eight years, though they speak endlessly about it. The party that did NOT
create jobs, though it's their most oft-used message.
Independent (swing) voters wanted change away from the Republicans. This time around, they are not likely to swing right back to the Republicans, the memory of 2000-2008 is still fresh in our minds. With the Democrats busy making a lot of noise and accomplishing very little, voters are simply less likely to become emotionally involved, leaving the elections up to the core voters on both sides. Core voters on the right are fired up, and so the elections will go to them.
But acting as if independents are all of a sudden flocking to the ballot box to vote back into power the party they ousted two years ago...
Maybe 2012, but not this time. Not with Republican candidates tripping over eachother in a race to be more radical and extremist than one another.

Who in their "right" mind tries to lower the federal minimum wage, one of the sacred labor laws of these United States of America, DURING A MIDTERM CAMPAIGN???
Once again, GOP Party proves it is arrogant and knows they can always count on their Republican (Tea Party) voters, no matter what
.
Somebody has to counterattack the nonsense GOP voters are getting us into
There is going to be a tsunami of liberals at the voting booths
