“When push came to shove, THEY did not enthusiastically back our choices, so THEY have absolutely no right to talk about party unity.”
Exactly- and at the same time, they expect us to bend over backwards to get behind McCain (as the Pres. nominee), Fiorina, Whitman, etc., because they are candidates who can supposedly “win”.
Just sent Graham an e-mail to let him know just who brought in that red blood bath yesterday; it certainly wasn’t the RINOS.
John Cornyn has already received one by me stating the same thing. I’m hoping a good conservative will run against him in the next cycle. I’ll be volunteering for him or her should that happen.
Exactly. Anyway, the self-styled “reach across the aisle” types pushed the likes of McCain for President and look what that got us. What good would more RINOs do us, if we’re trying to pass conservative policies? It’s a football game and more chances for power to them, it’s about the salvation of our country to us. Screw them all, the arrogant self-satisfied nonentities.
What those candidates will do if they win matters too, Lindsey. Or have you forgotten that now that you have your piece of the power pie?
While I do think we could have nominated better candidates than O’Donnell, Angle or Buck, I do NOT think that Castle, Norton or similar “establishment “squishy” Republicans were the answer.
That is why taking back the state legislatures and governorships was so important. Those folks will gain huge in-state name recognition and build their “credentials” for Senate runs in the future.
Poor McConnell and Graham. They thought forcing Bunning out would make their lives easier. Now they get Rand Paul.
Also, as previous posters have pointed out, the 2012 elections could very well be a bloodbath for the Democratic Senate. We have to keep the Tea Party enthusiasm riding high and work to bolster the true conservatives in our local and state governments.
“It seems that anyone who posts something from Politico should ask themselves if they really want to make their fellow Freepers ill.”
My apologies...
But see comment 14.
Just look who is quoted: has-been Trent Lott, little Lindsay Graham, and Julie Wadler, a consultant who runs Votesane PAC, with various political pros and ideologues like ELLEN RATNER!!
We are supposed to take advice from people like this.
Miss Lindsey “I am not Grey,” Graham is up for re-election in 2012. I would rather loose his seat to a democrat then have him back in office.
And anyone with half, no make that a tenth of a brain knows that the RINO’s put all the money out west and left O’Donnel out to dry to prove their point.
VOTE GRAHAM and CORYN OUT IN 2012!
“Gang of 10” and “reach across the aisle” style politics got Mike DeWine fired from the Senate and his is now AG in Ohio. He also barely won because so many Republicans refused to even vote for him to send yet another reminder to sit down and shut up.
Bingo!. Post of the election season.
So you think you can just keep on nominating more Sharon Angles and Christine O’Donnells in the blue and purple states?
This is a recipe for obliteration. I am a conservative but I want no part of it. The result will be more liberal Democrats, and we will all suffer.
Exit polls indicated that Castle would have lost too.
What failure? No less a source than Karl Rove said on Fox last night that the average Senate pickup in a midterm election is three seats. By my count Republicans got five.
Losing the Senate is not such a big deal this year as Zero can’t make 2012 a referendum on the Tea Party if he controls the upper chamber. Meanwhile, over 20 Rat senators are up for election then — while Republicans control the purse strings in the House.
The potential is there to make Der Leader’s life very comfortable for the next two years — defunding his agenda and giving him absolutely nothing in return.
NRSC chairman step down in their election cycle, if not earlier. Since Cornyn isn’t up until 2014 he will want to keep the job, unless he gets a better committee chairmanship.
“The RINOS need to get on board.”
The RINOs need to go straight to Hell (capitalized because it is a place). Just like their demonrat sweety-pies, they need to be driven completely out of public life.
O’Donnel and Angle were flawed candidates.
But the only recipe for obliteration that concerns me is the one that has essentially destroyed Constitutionally-limited government in the United States over the past century. So, other than conceding the point that flawed candidates don’t help either, your other arguments are simply irrelevant.
Mine was directed at the n00b who posted the thread.
Yeah... what he said!
