Everyone in the republican ranks except those from Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersy are afraid that this latest switch in voting by republican conservatives will result in strong primary competition this coming election year of 2014.
What strikes me as
interesting is that the strong primary challenges in 2012 resulted in
many republican incumbents losing primaries and then the tea party/ultra
conservatives who won those primaries losing to either independents or
democrats in the general election.
Given the anal-retentive nature of
those ultra conservative and purblind extremists it is quite likely the
same scenario will play out in the 2014 primaries and national
elections, and if it does then the house of Representatives could very
well land back in the lap of the democrats with plenty of independents
siding with their democratic colleagues.
I find the whole thing
curiously satisfying and i for one can hardly wait. Apparently shooting
themselves in the foot and then placing that foot firmly in their mouth
is a genetic thing among republicans. But it does delight me and others
who have had more than enough of these unrealistic and insensitive not
to say lacking in perception and markedly ignorant anachronisms.
