Rush Limbaugh: GOP could lose House

The Democrats could win back the House in the 2014 midterms, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday morning.
Limbaugh, calling into the show “Fox & Friends,” said Republicans will lose if they don’t change their focus.

“The Republicans are sitting around twiddling their thumbs worried about immigration and whether the Hispanics like them, and they’re being stumped on issue after issue after issue like this,” Limbaugh said.

When asked if he thought Republicans losing the house was an actual possibility, Limbaugh said yes, “because the Republicans are in the process of engaging in policies guaranteed to lose them elections.”

He's simply trying to rally the troops. "OMG! The Muslim Kenyan will have the House and Senate? Hello, Sharia Law!"

He does it every two years.

take his head out of his ass once in a while and state something that is right. Of course he doesn't take any responsibility that he is part of their problem.

Can you imagine admitting that Limbaugh actually speaks for you?

having to kiss the ring of the pig. I thought it was brilliant of the president. I was reading on another blog that said while the president is playing bridge the republicans are still playing Go Fish. LOL you can't make this stuff up.

IDK why our turnout is so low in midterm elections. It's almost as if people forget that there are other elections besides presidential ones.

and voter registration. This midterm in 14 will be make or break time really for Democratic policies and ideals. Probably our last chance to stave off and push back against plutocracy, corporatocracy, or whatever you might choose to call this new world we are living in.

It could cause them to revise their view of climate change.

The Repugs have gerrymandered too many districts around the country, I'm afraid, for us to have a realistic possibility of taking back the House in anything other than a very unusual year.

We should have taken the House in 2012 but gerrymandering prevented it.
