Republican Party O=Projected to Win Louisiana Senate Seat

Original post made by Republican in Enemy Territory, Menlo Park: Sharon Heights, on Nov 14, 2014

Bill Cassidy has opened up a 16.1 percent lead over Mary Landrieu in a poll conducted by Magellan Strategies. While internal polls should be viewed with some skepticism, it’s the first head-to-head poll to be released in the runoff period.

Rob Maness, the third place finisher with 14% of the vote, has since rallied conservatives to back fellow Republican Bill Cassidy. Influential conservatives like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) have endorsed Cassidy and are participating in “unity rallies” to help him coast to what should be a slam dunk victory.

The poll shows that Obama is a major drag on Landrieu, and since she’s returned to Washington for the lame-duck session, she’s sought to put as much space as possible between herself and the president. But since she has voted with Obama 97% of the time, a fact that will not go unnoticed for Louisiana voters, the Obama Quicksand will most likely claim its 9th Democrat Senatorial victim.

Go Niners.
1. Dan Sullivan-Alaska
2. Tom Cotton-Arkansas
3. Cory Gardener-Colorado
4. Joni Ernst-Iowa
5. Bill Cassidy-Louisiana
6. Steve Daines-Montana
7. Thom Tillis-North Carolina
8. Mike Rounds-South Dakota
9. Shelley Moore Capito-West Virginia

All Obama has done is save us from the Bush recession. Something like 20 months of 200,000+ job growth per month after Bush high of -800,000 jobs lost in his last month.

No wonder Obama is hated by the GOP.

When Bush left office the national debt was 10.6 Trillion dollars. He was responsible for $4.9 Trillion. Obama has increased the national debt by $7.3 Trillion in less than 6 years 10 months.

Obama stole 714 Billion dollars from Medicare for his reckless Obamacare schme which was nothing more than a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the poor. The administration of Obamacare has been so abysmal that the American people woud have been far better off if Obama just gave free health care to the poor.

Grubergate will be an albatross around Obama's neck. Jonathan Gruber reveals how the Democrats really view the American voter- as idiots who have to be led by the hand. This insulting and patronizing view that the Democrats have for the American voter will haunt them come 2016.

Obama is regarded as a pathetic joke when it comes to foreign policy. Putin rightfully views Obama as a feckless dilettante and is now flying Russian Bombers in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama is quaking in his shoes overcome by fear. Russia has now regained its title as the top military power in the world- thanks to Obama's pussillaminity.

The Republican House has introduced 52 job Bills and Harry Reid won't let them reach the floor of the Senate. The Democrat controlled Sanate has done nothing.

Mary Landreu deserves to lose her job. With a 9 seat advantage the Republicans should be able to keep the Senate in 2016. At the very worst the Republicans stand to lose 3 seats.

Hillary and Bill Clinton backed 9 candiates for Congress. Six of them lost. Given Hillary's lackluster performance as Secretary of State and he bungling of Benghazi the Democratic primary will be wide open- as it should be.

"Obama stole 714 Billion dollars from Medicare" funny that, then why doesn't Paul Ryan's GOP budget restore the so-called stolen money? In fact, Ryan's budget takes advantage of the same cost savings! In EVERY Budget that the GOP has delivered, they take the same cost savings. Tell us where the GOP has voted to restore the so-called stolen money?

GOP = Hypocrites.

"Bush left office the national debt was 10.6 Trillion dollars" Bush was given a surplus from Clinton, along with an economy that created 23 million new jobs. First thing Bush did was go severely into deficit spending (the GOP way!) and giving America it's first trillion dollar deficit! Way to go, Dubya! Bush's trillion dollar deficit was part of Bush's doubling of the debt from 5 to 10 trillion, and for all that debt, all we got was the Bush Great Recession. The recession that had Americans losing all these jobs Web Link">Web Link">Web Link

GOP = Hypocrites.

"The administration of Obamacare has been so abysmal" that more Americans THAN EVER have health insurance. Period. Gallup: Web Link

"Over seven in 10 Americans who bought new health insurance policies through the government exchanges earlier this year rate the quality of their healthcare and their healthcare coverage as "excellent" or "good." These positive evaluations are generally similar to the reviews that all insured Americans give to their health insurance.
In addition to newly insured Americans rating their coverage and the quality of their healthcare positively, they are more satisfied than the average insured American with the cost of their health coverage."

GOP = Hypocrites.

"Grubergate will be an albatross around Obama's neck." Oh, Lord, give me a break! Grubergate?!?!? Like Ebola-gate? Kids on the border-gate? Czar-gate? Benghazi-gate? IRS-gate? Turn off Fox and try real news. Gruber is the guy who wrote ROMNEYCARE, and was a consultant for Obamacare.

GOP = Hypocrites.

"Russian Bombers in the Gulf of Mexico" Omigawd!!! FEAR THERUSSIANSARECOMING FEAR OBAMA FEAR EBOLA FEAR BROWNPEOPLE FEAR!!!! Again, turn off Fox. Thank Heavens Barack Obama is in charge, Bush or Palin/McCain would have us in another war by now.

GOP = Hypocrites.

"The Republican House has introduced 52 job Bills" Well, more like 40 so-called "jobs" bills, according to Boehner himself ("the House has passed more than 40 bills")so quit lying.

They fall into three types of bills:

1. Corporate Welfare - tax breaks for oil gas and coal

2. more Corporate Welfare - regulatory repeal welfare so oil coal gas and big business can pollute more

3. Obamacare repeal, which mysteriously, hocus-pocus, will magically create more jobs. And more magic ponies, too.

I challenge you to identify one of the 40 bill that is an actual job creation bill, has been scored by the CBO, and show us how many jobs they said will be created.

GOP = Hypocrites.

Hank: now it's time for you to comment this monthly jobs chart, on Obama job growth and the monthly job creation since Bush left office, losing 750,000 jobs in his last month.

Before someone comes on and calls out Hank on his dialogue of the deaf (as he never responds to facts,) let's get YOUR take on this jobs chart:

In addition to all of his other accomplishments, President Obama has also decimated the Democrat Party.

In addition to having the largest total in the House of Representatives since Herbert Hoover and taking control of the Senate by a wider margin than anyone predicted, the GOP now controls 70% of legislative bodies and has 32 governorships.

The arguments about the President's accomplishments have apparently fallen on deaf ears. I'm sure it's just poor messaging.
