does it bother republicans when there canadates run off of a topic in there campaign and then choose?
to not do what they said they were going to do? please do not mention how bad you think democrats or Obama is. its not about them.no finger pointing or childish behavior. no mention of democrats. just get to the point. example john banner and almost every i have listened to. mentions jobs constantly. but with this congress and last. not one job bill has been brought up by republicans. the jobs bill democrats puts up just gets voted down. 13 bills this session have been passed. and the session ends this coming February. the average bill passing is around 900 and above.
just as i expected. republicans cant answer or wont.

I doubt seriously if it bothers them.
As long as they can effectively sling mud, why should they stay on topic?

I think that much of what guides the GOP today is Obama Derangement Syndrome. There is a very strong dislike for Obama - which of course they are allowed to have. However, it has the side effect of every time they oppose or block Obama from doing something, they consider it to be a success. Repealing national romneycare and going back to the utopia of 2008 healthcare? Success. Preventing Obama and the Democrats from enacting cap and trade environmental reforms that were part of the 2008 GOP platform? Success. Preventing any regulations from being proposed on the financial industry in 2010 even though they did it in 2001? Success. Prevent passing any budget in 2013 at all because there might be something in it that Obama likes? Success.
Obviously all of these things did not happen, but these are the ways that the GOP measures success. In Wyoming right now, Mike Enzi is getting primaried not because he voted the wrong way. He is getting primaried because he votes in line with conservative principles rather than voting to obstruct Obama. Apparently what Wyoming needs is someone who votes out of distaste for Obama, not someone who votes based on his principles. Now you tell me - are these people interested in solving the unemployment problem, or are they interested in making sure that there are no new jobs on Obama's watch?
