We don’t care which party controls the Senate. We care whether we have the votes to restore Constitutionally-limited government. RINOs won’t give us that, no matter how many get elected.

IF Lindsey thinks DeMint is “difficult” or off base,

WAIT UNTIL HE MEETS SENATOR RAND PAUL!

How bad is Politico?

It’s so bad that I no longer read their garbage anymore, I just read the responses and laugh.

Politico isn’t much more than a cleaned up version of DU.

Lindsey Graham: “If only we had nominated people like me willing to comprise our principles and vote with the Dems most of the time, than Republican’s could be in the majority and could take credit for shelving President Obama’s agenda down Americans’ throat.

The Tea Party gave us incredible wins in the House, Governerships, State Legislatures, and even in the Senate (hard core conservatives.)

This was a massive victory for Reps. These sore losers can’t see past their egos.

These people don’t realize that, tea party candidates galvanized so many people in so many districts all around the country. We would not have had this much seats in house and state legislatures, if it was not for the enthusiasm of tea party people.

Politico and all the main stream media know this concept. By trying to push these kind of articles, they want to move the party back to the moderate wing and screw us in the general election for 2012. If people have a clear choice, they will select the conservative candidates.

Having said that, our conservative candidates need to also learn to talk like Marco Rubio or Paul Ryan. You cannot just bullshit small government, less taxes and family values. Need to articulate little bit of policies.

Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott put it plainly: “We did not nominate our strongest candidates.”

What's this "we", gay man?

I believe that either Lindsey Graham is in reality delusional, or he has been paid big bucks (or is being black mailed) to take up the RINO Standard. I’m quite sure that his buddy in Soros funding scam, John McShame, will be joining him soon as backup and an ardent supporter for all causes RINO!

Exactly. They have no idea that this is really about the rule of law - whether we have a Constitution and whether the laws and rules will be enforced. The reason so many of us could get behind the Tea Party candidates is because they get it. The Republican leadership obviously doesn’t. But they will. That is a promise that they better read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.

Well them named one of the senators and one fundraiser, improvement. Being in Florida I can tell you I was totally outraged when they did their early endorsement of Crist. That decision alone should disqualify them from being senators at all. The locals have to be able to chose their own candidates and if the GOP doesn’t like, may they please take their toys and go home.

I think this is a debate we have to have, in light of the results. The O’Donnell circus consumed the Philadelphia media and brought down Toomey’s margins as well.

The debate is over. RINOS ARE OUT! SQUISHY reach-across-the-aisle fossil incumbents are on life support.

2012 will show them the exit door.

It's the RINOS AND MODERATES who made both parties look and act alike.

NO MORE. So what that we lost with a good conservative candidate in solid blue state? Castle was worse than a democrat and the polling said Coons the Marxist would have defeated him too.

You see, RINOS have taken the conservative vote for granted and it's not there for the taking anymore.

Somebody tell me that we were ASSURED of taking the Senate besides the House? Who knew? (Obviously the folks at Politico did — NOT.)

First and foremost the RINOs and Republican establishment types like Karl Rove are going to have to understand there's a new sheriff in town and we aren't interested in accommodating Donkeys unless they're working with us to pass stuff past Obozo’s vetoes and to defang his executive orders.

Obozo is going to try to rule America through EO’s if he can't get his way with Congress. He also doesn't give a damn about SCOTUS and what they say. We may see the Kenyan and his illegal rule exposed and it may just come as a joint Donkey-Pubbie take down. The Donkeys will be seeking the preservation of the Donkey Party and a chance at the WH in 2012. The Pubbie RINOs will have to be dragged along kicking and screaming to do their Constitutional duty.
