They're manpulating us right into a "frickin" Tea Bagger veto proof majority

49. I've said this ...

Probably 10 bazillion times (to crickets and/or strawman refutations); but I'll say it one more again ...

In order for Democrats to flip the House in 2014, we need that plurality of independent voters and gop voters (a majority when combined) that see the modern gop for what they are ... deranged, obstructionist with no interest in, or plan for, governing, to vote Democratic (unlikely that it'll happen), or vote for a moderate 3rd party republican (if there remains such an animal), or stay home (much more likely).

Polls indicate, to this point, President Obama (and his team) have been making all the right moves ... from the Chained CP proposal (that had the Left freaking out, despite the fact that everyone - except those on DU - knew was going nowhere) to the Democratic Senate budget (Okay, gop your move) to the "you can turn the sequester off" ... time after time forcing the gop into showing themselves for the unserious clowns they are.

Add to that, the modern gop's penchant for setting their own feet on fire on just about every issue ... we (Democrats) were looking very good, the House was in reach. So what does the gop do? They leak a 6 year old program, as something brand new, frame it as some existential threat to everything liberals hold dear ... and as on cue, we are met with a rousing chorus of "Democrats/Progressives/liberals" singing that 2009-10 song, "I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever going to vote Democratic again!"

And we claim to be the smart ones.
