This never gets mentioned in the RW talking points.

The GOP isn't going to fair well in 2014 and 2016.

So now you add 2016 and still refuse to give your 2014 predictions.

What are your 2014 predictions for the GOP doing poorly?

Does the GOP lose control of the House?

Does the GOP lose seats in the Senate?

The GOP will lose seats in the House and Senate, but will keep a weak control of the House.

Obama promised everything "the people" wanted to hear.
And he even went so far as to single out groups for specific promises.

He played the true politician telling the people he'd give them their every wish.

Didn't happen though. And the people didn't care either because they sent him back for another 4 years.
It's all about "the party" now..got to keep your party in power no matter what they say or do.

No one expects a politician to do everything they promise, I have been overall happy with the promises Obama has kept, and there are things I wish he would have done or pushed harder for Congress to act on. But if you always expect perfection you will always be let down.

It's funny how liberals don't seem to comprehend that we conservatives are not bothered at all by the government shutdown. So why do you folks keep throwing the government shutdown at us as if we are to duck and hide behind something in embarrassment? The Government shutdown was not a bad thing! The funny thing is, Barack Obama forced the shutdown because he "wouldn't negotiate".....meanwhile his Administration is making a fool out of him with the failed rollout of Obamacare.

LOL

If anything, liberals need to be hiding behind something in embarrassment. They completely fumbled the whole government shutdown/obamacare fiasco. This is not a "do nothing Congress." This is a "know nothing President!"

LOL

How are Republicans responsible for Obama backing out of public campaign financing in 2008, no lobbyists in the WH positions of power, no special access for big donors, reducing earmarks to 1994 levels by veto if necessary, waiting 5 days to sign a bill into law, airing Obamacare debates live on CSPAN, etc...

Obama said Bush did executive orders that were illegal and is now doing executive orders that have no precedent that candidate Obama pledged not to do as they were illegal. Obama owns his disingenuous personality.
It's Bush's fault.

Even bipartisan bills from the House are rejected out of hand by Reid. It's the senate that is hyper partisan, the House Republican leaders are onboard with Reid's agenda 90% of the time.
