Oh yeah, I am smiling too.
At this point, I “like” Rand Paul.
We really do need to focus on removing Lindsey Grahmn from his Senate Seat.
It’s pretty clear the party “pragmatists” didn’t like the conservative nominees, and I don’t doubt there’s some anger at DeMint. However, I really don’t care what the centrists think. When push came to shove, THEY did not enthusiastically back our choices, so THEY have absolutely no right to talk about party unity. Frankly, I’m STILL glad Mike Castle went down in flames! That fact alone makes O’Donnell’s loss more bearable.
We tried the “pragmatic” way before, and the moderates sold us out—even when we had the majority. Say what you will about the Democrats, but at least they actually pushed their agenda forward. Our team shafted us when they had the chance. Yeah, some of us actually want smaller government. A pox on centrist sellouts! Compromise does NOT mean giving the Democrats 80% of what they want.
“had foolishly pushed nominees too conservative to win in politically competitive states”
FU, elitist RINO scum.
Castle's circus-like 75% liberal voting record brought down his chances in the primary.
I don’t really know what to think about Lindsey. He’s an a##H for sure. I’d love to slap him right across his face. And about 1,000 times.
“Compromise does NOT mean giving the Democrats 80% of what they want.”
Good points. The only compromise I want to see is the left driven completely from public life.
I can see it now. The House will pass legislation then idiots like Graham and McCain will form a new “gang of 10” to undo everything. They just don’t get it and never will.
It’s a n00b. Don’t expect much.

pallis: “My advice for the establishment is to get behind the people that gave you the other wins, or get out of the way.”
Sound advice, and if they refuse the former, we’ll do our best to help them achieve the latter (whether they like it or not).
It seems that anyone who posts something from Politico should ask themselves if they really want to make their fellow Freepers ill.
Politico is just trying to deflect attention from the fact the liberals got clobbered yesterday in races in the states and at the fed level.
Hallelujah.
The RINOS need to get on board. When Independents are more likely to vote for your candidate than registered republicans, RINOS are 100 percent responsible for not getting behind conservative candidates.
And, frankly, if Mitch McConnell is upset because he isn't Majority Leader, it's because he didn't have the fortitude, the guts and, more frankly, the balls to make it happen.
As long as we look at the crap that the media and establishment Republicans hit O’Donnell with and blame O’Donnell, we can expect the whole place to stink just as bad as Washington DC has always stunk. Blame the victim, not the rapist.
Well, I have some words for the sexist rapists within our party: your time is limited. Justice will be coming, and it’s not going to look pretty for you. The corrupt lies you’ve engaged in behind the scenes will be shouted from the mountaintops and you will not be able to hide.
You can think a person is stupid or not the best candidate, but if you stand by and watch an innocent person slandered and their rights taken away, and go along with it because you think the person is stupid, then you are worse than stupid: you are evil. Right now if I had to choose between a smart, evil person and an innocent but stupid one, I would take the innocent one any day. The worst they could be is ineffective. The smart but evil ones are deadly, and they’ve been killing this country long enough.
Lord, have mercy on this nation. Bring us to repentance and to deal in truth. Raise up leaders who are wise as serpents but innocent as doves, and shut the mouths of the roaring lions who seek only their own enrichment, power, or reputation. Regardless of party. Bring to repentance anybody who can be persuaded to the truth, and bring sure and swift justice to the others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
They just don’t get it? ... Are you serious? Don’t give the scum the benefit of the doubt. You should be able to see whom they work for now, and it isn’t the people who elected them. Graham is a three dollar whore and the dems have somehting so disgraceful on him that he prostitutes himself to them at every crucial turn, then truns aropund and mouths anger at dems! MaCain is a stealth progressive who uses his position to neuter opposition tot he democrats he loves. His lips are probably still fastened to Ted Kennedy’s rotting carcass!
Graham needs to be primaried.
The Carolinas are experiencing incredible culture shifts.
Also, for 24/7 attacks by the national media, O’Donnell did quite well grabbing 40% of the vote. As did Angle who only lost by 5% and did not have the illegal cooperation of Harrahs unions driving out voter turnout.
If they keep attacking women candidates, you will see Hillary win the Presidency.
Of course, my comment was directed at the author of the column, not the poster here on FR.
Oh, we could have had a 50-50 Senate. What fun. We had that ten years ago and it sucked. We had the VP on our side and it still sucked.
