More Insanity -Do Nothing Republicans Expected To Gain Seats in House

Talk about rewarding someone for their bad behavior. Numerous reports state that the do nothing Republicans who even want as far as shutting down the government, will be rewarded for their bad behavior in the midterm elections.

Will we ever learn?

Congressional approval ratings hover at historic lows. The Republican Party’s brand has tanked. More people than ever think their own congressman should be sent packing. And the most notable act in one of the most unproductive legislative periods on record was shutting down the government for 16 days.

Yet Republicans are forecast to pick up as many as a dozen U.S. House seats this November, strengthening their grip on the House majority. “I’d rather be us than them,” crows Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., who chairs the House GOP’s 2014 campaign operation.

Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., chairs the House GOP’s 2014 campaign operation. He wants to win 11 seats.

Democrats say they expect to make gains in the House, but Republicans have a host of built-in advantages this year, including:

• Recently redrawn districts have resulted in fewer competitive seats.

• Historical midterm-election-year trends indicate a limited Democratic turnout.

• President Obama’s waning popularity is part of a political climate suggesting that Democrats cannot expect a “wave” election to turn the tide in their favor.
