What are the chances of this actually happening? Slim, or none?

A Tennessee congressman feels confident that Republicans can pick up six seats in the U.S. Senate, if only candidates would stop talking until the November election.

“I would suggest when we nominate people we give them a roll of duct tape to put over their mouths so they don’t say stupid things, and maybe we can win an election,” said Rep. Ted Poe (R-TN) during an event Monday at the Heritage Foundation.

He is onto something. The Democrats could easily be sunk with the truth. Unfortunately, the GOP has become a pack of pathological liars and thus have been shooting themselves in the foot on practically a daily basis. The GOP's integrity is completely shot to hell.

If they can't muster up the intelligence to sink the Democrats with the truth, then they should simply STFU and let the Democrats be the ones to self-destruct instead.
 
It’s both sad and telling that the key to the GOP taking control of the Senate rests on whether republicans can avoid saying something stupid or not.
 
they should pass the roll of tape around for every one of them assholes in Congress.....

Good plan.

It would have helped republicans tremendously in 2010 and 2012.

What the hell are you talking about? 2010 saw a historic comeback for Republicans with the help of the Tea Party. They took the House and made gains in the Senate.

2012 saw them hold Congress. Losing only a few seats in the Senate.
 
If a republican ever stopped saying stupid shit his supporters would just look for someone else to say what they are thinking.

yuk yuk yuk, don't give up your day job if this passes for working as a comedian
 
Republicans need to find a really smart community organizer to lead them, with a partner as bright as joe biden....and a ton of clueless adolescents who believe in meaningless drivel like hope and change.... Those critical thinkers...lol

You really need to get a more reliable source, Ted Poe is a congressman from TX, not TN.

This guy is completely wrong. We should keep spreading the message. Keep talking about the consequences of legitimate rape, and wagering $10,000 bets on our opinions.

Wait, on second thought....

Wasn't it teabagger Dick Armey that called the Republican Senate 'dysfunctional.'
 
Listen up, this whole frikken Federal Government is FILLED with nothing but a bunch of stupid, lying, game playing with our lives and corrupted idiots...when you people in the Democrat party stop being sheep and call for action to hold YOUR PARTY and this government RESPONSIBLE...then we'll take this partisan thread serious

The Democrats say just as much stupid shit and don't need duct tape, because they can play you sheep in their base like a fiddle and know you won't hold them to the same standards you all do Republican
