Oh, that’s precious. Yep, that’s going to fire up the base alright. “ <<<

The Cornyn/McConnell crowd are scared, hopefully, and engaging in full frontal assault to intimidate and demoralize us. Not happening this time. We will never give in.

Scratch off the surface paint, and you’ll find a rusty old democrat body needing to be sand blasted.

I used to be very active politically. I have become and agnostic. After McLame and Angle(both of whom I worked my a$$ off for) I have given up and am spending my time in other endeavors.

Recycled excrement. Oh joy.

This is an insult to excrement.

Recycled feces has value as a fertilizer.

Maybe it’s just as well. It is true that being active politically takes one who does not give up.

The way it's going today I should just keep the code for the dead elephant on my clipboard.

My political activity went back to Reagan’s first presidential run.

They just don’t know what to do. They were taught social studies in public school instead of civics.I’ve seen people who come to volunteer, are then asked to give money, or work a phone bank, or do something menial instad of being given an education about how the party system actually works so that they can understand the bigger picture. They never learn why political organization and activity must be a continuous thing to participate in that, long-term, guards our liberties, not a one-time pushing of a certain candidate’s election. I think some long-time party-members act this way by design, to preserve the tiny bit of power and influence and knowledge of how things really work from the newbies; that way the new guy never becomes a threat, or ever becomes able to challenge the long-time party functionary/insider.

Sounds like your retirement is well-earned. Perhaps you could train a young person to take over for you.

“Failed California GOP Senate candidate Carly Fiorina was named...”

All comments about Fiorina’s ideology and business acumen aside, the first sentence in this article is most telling.

If the individual the LA Times were writing about a Dem, the article would start out like this “Former California Dem Senate candidate Karen Smith...”

There would be no use of a negative to describe the Dem candidate.

RINOs, Paulbots, etc,...it doesn’t matter where you lie on the right side of the political spectrum. The liberal media already has a negative adjective already lined up for ALL of us!

My bet is she is there to....raise money via her business contacts. She will not be recruiting. Real Conservs will not go through the RNC or the Senate or House Pub groups. But, money will be raised by these type of Pubs.
