Rude Pundit 5/15/13: "It's all about 2014 now"

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

Snips:"There is only one thing that'll end this madness: End the madness of GOP control in the House and prevent them from gaining control of the Senate. All effort on the left needs to be focused on the congressional midterms in 2014."

"If the Rude Pundit was writing an ad for Democrats for the 2014 midterms, he'd ask, "Remember what happened the last time Republicans persecuted a Democratic president and forced him to respond to endless inquiries instead of letting him lead and defend the country?" And then show George W. Bush's face and film of the Twin Towers collapsing."

isn't much interested in the Left, and the Aministration takes occasional pot shots at the Left, and MSM throws the term around as if it represents ANY oppisition to the RW.

To even approach the goal Rude Pundit advocates means Mass organizing around a strong, short, clear philosophy; a coordinated take-over of the Democratic Party at the local level; and a means of Party discipline for candidates who stray from their philosophy. All in the next few months.

I don't think someone's idea for an ad is going to do it.

Yes, we'd be better off with a more progressive caucus, but even a Democratic cheese log would be better than anything with an (R) after its name.

This is because the "republicans" aren't so much a party as they are a criminal enterprise. Every Repub criminal we de-job is a win for America.

Sure seems CONVENIENT to be repetitively saying Democrats are to blame for 9-11 (benghazi) - has a nice way of confusing people who can now think hey, I guess the Republicans are not to blame for 9-11 !!!

I say also: crush the Republican Orwellian-talk machine in 2014. Get out the vote.

Elect progressives NOT third-wayers. We have no need for Terry & Rahm, never did.
