2. 2014 is an extremely important year to get to the polls....

Democrats are actually competitive in some unusual races this year.

Here in Georgia, Michelle Nunn is leading polls against every Republican contender for the Senate. Jason Carter, grand-son of Jimmy Carter, is running at least even with the expected Republican nominee, current governator Nathan Deal.

Grimes appears competitive in Kentucky against McTurtle, etc.

As well we need to do everything to keep the majority in the Senate even if it is just one vote. Why? Because I have no doubt that the first thing McTurtle will do is fire off the rest of the nuclear arsenal and eliminate the filibuster on legislation and Supreme Court nominees.

With control of the Senate and the House the pukes can ram through all manner of despicable legislation like repealing Obamacare. Luckily they will not have the 2/3 majority in both houses to override a presidential veto.

But they will turn the tides in the debate and say that the murkan sheeple spoke and decided to give them control of both houses. They are enacting legislation that is the will of the people. Obama will be portrayed as the obstructionist because he is vetoing everything that hits his desk.

As well they would make it more difficult for the president to get judicial and other appointees through the Senate. They would certainly never allow a supreme court nominee that is not right of Scalia get onto the court.

This is a very important election. Wake up people. Don't believe anything any pundit tells you.
