I am pretty confident that the country thinks the Tea Party caucus is a bunch of power mad idiots. And they would be right.
Feel free to point us to a credible political analyst who is predicting a House sweep by Democrats in 2014.

Yeah, people hated it so much that they turned out and voted him back into office by a margin of nearly 5 million votes.
Those voters also let the GOP keep the House.

If they get nothing done it's because of GOP obstructionism stopping the will of the voters. That's nothing to be proud of but it makes a very good case for why voters should not re-elect Republican House members.

Actually, more voters voted for Democrats than Republicans in House races. The reason the House is Republican is due to gerrymandering districts.

So, the GOP is willing to hold up running a government to perpetuate its witchhunt?

You've had 9 investigations and the most they came up with is that a talkingpoint was changed. Big deal. There was no hint of anything illegal or improper.

You can investigate till the cows come home hoping to find something to pin on Obama put it aint happening.

yep especially when we have an IRS doing what it can to silence anyone in opposition. So much for the first Amendment freedoms.

Tyranny? Reject those voices.

And just today, Obama is going 3 fundraisers.

Right...who is it who hasn't passed a budget? Democrats.
Who is it who didn't vote on the gun control bill? Democrats.
Who is it who won't even debate Republican proposals? Democrats.
Who is it who keeps proposing insane laws that the people don't want? Democrats.

Keep spewing the liberal BS you've swallowed if it makes you feel better, but it isn't the truth.
