Movements must have a beginning. Every election the excuse is ‘next time’.
Win or lose, TODAY is the day to stand behind a conservative. The primary is over. Stand behind the conservative, whoever it may be. Do not help the GOP screw us. If we lose this time, the conservative we back will be better prepared next time. And people will already be in the mindset to back that person.
We WILL lose some. Accept that we cannot, like Democrats, have all things given to mus. Good things take work. You will lose. I will lose. Then we win.
The mindset of ‘win support the Rino’ had doomed us for decades. Break that destructive pattern.
Tell me with a straight face the founders would have accepted brit loyalists in their govt. There is your guide.
Believe me, I very much understand where you’re coming from, Norm. In fact, if you’ve had a chance to take a cursory glance at my posting history on FR, you’ll see I’ve routinely been scathing critical of RINOs/GOP establishment candidates and those on our side who succumb to the false pretense that such candidates are the “most electable”. However, I believe primary races are the time and place to deal with this, not during the general election when we’re facing radical left-wing Democrat opponents.
Like I said, I’m most concerned right now with winning back the Senate. And if McConnell happens to win and return as the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate will be decidedly more conservative in 2015 and I believe we can push Squishy Mitch kicking and screaming into taking up and passing conservative legislation.
Having said that, I won’t be shedding any tears if the GOP manages to win back the Senate and Mitch loses his re-election bid (which I think is certainly a feasible scenario). I will say though that I hate the thought of Grimes and her deep pockets potentially making her a permanent Kentucky senate fixture as a result.
Its only one seat. Its not like the GOP does anything positive when they have control. And it is worth losing it to ditch Mitch. We can make it up elsewhere if we try.
Very well said, I concur FWIW.
Reinforcements are on the way, THAT is the beginning we sought.
You are text book.
Accuse others of what you do.
You are the one who favors dems.
You try to make people cynical and nihilistic so that they will not participate so that dems have the upper hand.
Never should any dem in any state get a foot hold.
Thanks for your straight forward answer.
