I have no issue with Roberts, although I’m not up to speed on that race. McConnell on the other hand, simply doesn’t have a case for the conservative vote. Lets run through the arguments...
1.) But we have to stop Obama!!!!
We have the house, grid-lock does that just fine.
2.) But he has a good vote rating!
Yeah, he votes against us for closure (when it counts) and then with us for his rating (when it doesn’t count).
3.) But we have to stop judges!!!
The number of democrat appointed appellate judges just passed the number of republican appointed appellate judges. McConnell has been an epic failure at stopping bad judge appointments.
4.) We can’t win by losing!
A RINO victory isn’t a win. Bad Republican leadership only means we get blamed for the failures of liberal policies when we compromise (with poor deals) and become part of the problem. For example, the sequester that is destroying our military.... our RINO leadership agreed to that. They are either stupid, or they think we are.
5.) Reagan wasn’t perfect!
We don’t want perfect, we simply want a candidate who has not publicly declared that they will destroy the tea party.
6.) You don’t want to win!
I don’t have faith that McConnell has the backbone to deal with Obama in any way other than giving in. Therefore, taking the Senate isn’t much of a priority to me until we can also take the presidency.
If there is a plan to promote the conservative agenda with a senate majority in 2014, then they need to be specific and start selling it... then make good on it. As is, the only argument seems to be that they are not Democrats... I’m of the opinion that a liberal Republican is worse than a democrat, so “not Democrats” no longer is a compelling reason to vote for a candidate.
Well said. And factual!
