Relax Boehner and Repukes...Hannity to the rescue

Caught a little bit of "Insanity" yesterday. He said to stand-by, he's going to convene a "Conservative Solutions Caucus" starting in January 2014 to come up with the Repuke Platform.

Here's my guess on the highlights:

1. "Rebs Good, Dems Bad"
2. "Freedom, freedom, freedom, freeeeee-dumb!....oh...and BENGHAZI
3. "Cut taxes, reduce regulation" (lather,rinse,repeat)
4. "Drill Baby Drill"
5. "Free Market Solutions"
6. "Atlas Shrugged" (pages 52-137) which reminds me of my favorite Freeperism of all time..."In any way I am someone's Atlas, I will now shrug"
7. "Reagan, Reagan, Reagan, RAYYYYY-GUNNNN!!!....oh, and "Welfare Cadillac"

Someone please tell me again how we can lose elections to these asshats!

We won't win every seat, but if we campaign on Republican obstructionism and disregard for the people they represent, we can win a majority of the House. We can do it, if we are willing to do it.

GOTV 2014!

That is all you can do. Congressional elections are local elections, and it's local people who make the choice. Some districts are not winnable by a Democrat. We will never have more than a good majority in the House. But, where a Democrat can be elected, one must be elected. Frankly, that's all it will take to regain majority control. So, do what you can in your own district. If it's hopeless, work on the election in a neighboring district where a Democrat can win.
