Throw the bums out? Budget deadlock portends 2014 backlash

On the Republican side, state-level Republicans are starting to distance themselves from their Washington counterparts, hoping to steer clear of any voter rebellion.

Do a GOOGLE search for both parties at you county and state level and see who is running things in your area.

Nice story

Nice story but mostly bull.

Districting has seen to that. Most congress critters are in "safe" districts.

Only a few dozen that are competitive and could flip back and fourth.

House Republicans trying to distance themselves from Washington need to take care the base doesn't sit home of vote third party.

State level? The NC media is in full force mode to flip NC back into the D side. A Republican could help an old lady across the street and the story would be he was trying to pickpocket her.

Exactly.

Republican run locally and at the county level. But in a State full of the "Uber-Libtards, it is frustrating. Probably why our State Senator for the district resigned mid-term and moved to Texas. Mindless liberal droids will never question the "party".... it is all they know.

You'd think that a cross-section of libs would at least have a modicum of intelligence-enough to see that the obvious examples of lib-controlled areas are blatant socio-economic failures.

The whole Country would descend into the pit California thrashes around in, now, were libdems allowed to have their way.

It took me a long time to realize (still hard for me to believe) that libs are so anti-American in their collective goals that they should form their own country.

That new country has been aptly described by Dante. Obama is the one who is building the hand basket.
