North Carolina Rep. Mike McIntyre and New York Rep. Carolyn McCarthy will not seek reelection this year, according to multiple Democratic sources familiar with their plans – marking a blow to Democratic efforts to win control of the House.
The 57-year-old McIntyre, who was elected in 1996 to the Wilmington-area congressional seat, narrowly defeated Republican state Sen. David Rouzer in 2012 and was poised to face him in a 2014 rematch. His retirement from the heavily Republican district will further thin the ranks of Blue Dog Democrats. It comes less than a month after another Blue Dog, Utah Rep. Jim Matheson, said his current term would be his last.

Yep. Unless there is a major sex scandal or the GOP runs a Klan member that eats puppies they will keep the House.

What's that got to do with it! The truth is, no one read his crappy book - even the Leftards who love him - until long after he was elected

I meant that a lot of people voted for him because it would be great to have a black person in the White House. The same people will vote for Hillary to "Break the glass ceiling"...

Has anybody on the left EVER voted for any presidential candidate who actually ran a successful business? (Arguably Carter had turned the company over to others long before running for Prez.) Instead they bought in on political ciphers like John Kerry, whose laughable lack of Senate record was PERFECT for their idea of a candidate.
Hillary Clinton is damaged goods, and Donks were the ones who damaged her, shoving her aside over Michigan and Florida delegate votes which handed the nomination to an even bigger cipher, the Magic Candidate whom "no decent American" would DARE call unqualified without also being branded a racist.
When decent Americans did object, the Democrat Lie Factory went into three shifts, and all hands on deck. By the time they got done on Day One alone, the entire Tea Party was a bunch of hood-wearing, abortion-doctor-murdering, cross-burning psychopaths fully deserving of summary execution where found.
Day Two only got better. Now it's a couple of years of general public awareness of the Tea Party, outside the diehard circles. People are wondering just WHY the Donks and now the RINO bastards in the GOP are all bad-mouthing the fresh thinking we need to at least TRY to get our nation back on track.
Taxed. Enough. Already. Time to close the fiscal spigot and drive every last one of these free-spending maggots into the sea.
I wish we could throw all of the Commie Democrats out of Washington for good along with the RINO's. The RINO's are doing almost as much damage as the Democrats (they are a little worse in my opinion because they pretend to be something they are not).
Here's hoping that we vote in alot of patriots in office that are comparable to Cruz, Paul, and Lee.

The Kennedies had that nifty moonshine business, lol. But JFK and RFK would be lumped in with the Tea Party by today's leftists / MSM.
So I guess it's fitting that they were good capitalists. JFK a good military man and Christian-Catholic to boot. The dems would hate him worse than Bush & Reagan today.
