Republicans Worried They Could Lose The House in 2014

There’s growing angst among Republicans that the party’s House majority could be at risk in 2014 if the deep GOP divisions that emerged during the recent “fiscal cliff” negotiations persist in looming negotiations over a slew of budgetary issues.

Even as Republican officials maintain the GOP majority is safe, several lawmakers and longtime activists warn of far-reaching political ramifications if voters perceive Republicans as botching consequential talks on the debt ceiling, sequestration and a possible government shutdown.

“Majorities are elected to do things, and if they become dysfunctional, the American people will change what the majority is,” Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), a House deputy majority whip and a former National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, told The Hill.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

  1. If Republicans want to be considered viable again they have to pull themselves away from the Tea Party or they will go down with them. We need a strong Republican and Democratic Party that can work together to do what is best for the country. The Tea Party does not fit with either one.
