(23,957 posts)Almost all the republican senate seats up for election in 2014 are in heavily republican, trending towards whacko republican, states. The main danger to their careers comes from a primary challenge by someone nastier than they are. Voting against a treaty "to preserve sovereignty' or comparable bullshit reasons will go a long way to sooth the "UN coming to take our guns away" teabaggers without too many direct political consequences. Expect more of the same for the next 4 years.

(13,986 posts)"Mr. Blunt and Cranky has an idea: Bob Dole is a disabled war veteran (he got machine-gunned nearly to death during WW II); an honorable man; a productive legislator; someone who respected those with whom he disagreed; and above all, a patriot. Everything, in short, that the modern Republican party no longer believes in or represents. Bob Dole is not one of them.
And if youre not one of them, youre the enemy. That, if you like, is partisan politics today, Elephant Style (feel free to steal this phrase and do a Gangnam Style parody)."
