The right created a "monster" when they started backing the tea party with millions and millions of dollars so they could gain control of the House. It worked, they got the crazies to vote, and they took back the House, or so they thought. Instead of taking "control" of the House again they allowed the bat shit crazies in the tea party to take control. The tea party crowd only had to start making threats of putting up a "challenger" against anyone who didn't want to see things their way, and it worked. Take chicken little Cantor. This clown has had his head so far up the tea party's butt, he doesn't know what is going on in the real world. His goal is to kiss up to the tea party wing of the party, and then get Boehner's job. He will do anything to get where he wants to be, and he doesn't care how much it hurts the country, or the people who live here.
As long as the tea party has any kind of clout at all, only the craziest of the crazies will get elected. Look at how far the clowns running now have to go in order to get approval of the tea party nuts.
The other main issue is that republicans have no clue as to how to fix the mess "THEY" got us into, none at all. They promised that jobs would be the number one priority if they won in 2010, yet not one bill has been passed that creates jobs, but many have that would "kill" jobs. Their plan is always the same. Tax cuts for the rich, de-regulation, and nothing more. They would allow the same things to happen in the future that got us into this mess in the first place. They just have one goal, to cater to corporations and the rich, and the hell with everyone else.
Sadly there are still many who buy into the right wing BS, but I think the majority can see through it, and will show their anger come November. Until they change their agenda, or at least pretend to change it, they are in trouble. I really don't think they want to win in November, at least not the WH. They will be putting their money into trying to keep control of the House, and take back the Senate. If they can do that, and I don't think they will, they can keep on blaming Obama for everything, and do their best to keep the country in financial ruin so the rich can continue take control of "everything" on step at a time until we become a two class system, the rich and everybody else!
