The Republican Bright Side........................

"WASHINGTON — For Congressional Republicans, these first 100 days of the Obama administration must feel like 1,000.

Driven deep into the minority, they have run up against a highly popular Democratic president and chafed under the rein of emboldened House and Senate Democrats. They have been marginalized, criticized and categorized as the Party of No.

They have groped for an effective strategy for countering President Obama, lacked a dominant message or messenger and had trouble breaking through even with themes that in the past might have resonated. On Friday, they officially lost a special House election in New York that by all rights they should have won. They are on the verge of being down 59 to 41 in the Senate, a whisker away from mathematical elimination from filibuster contention.

Where do they get this "highly popular" business? Massaging the polls doesn't mask the truth that this is a highly polarizing and divisive president.

Please dress accordingly and wait by the front curb, the U.S security force will be by shortly to transfer you to the re-education unit.

I think the bright side for the republicans in all of this is that when all fails, the dems are not going to be able to point one single finger at the republicans to blame them.

For once, the democrats will be seen for the true idiots that they are.
Democrats, the party of treason.

That is not how it will be portrayed to the masses, watch and see.

If Hillary Clinton can get away with telling the Iraqis "we will not abandon you", and the media doesn't abuse her, and the public at-large buys it, then they can literally do anything they please. Spin it until it's unrecognizable. And still be re-elected.

Watch and see.
