Funny thing is that Romney was a thousand times worse going for a far more important position than Akin. But one screw up ended his career, while hundreds didn’t matter for Mitt...
And all the votes he got emboldened the GOP to lurch further left than ever.
And people want to do this stupidity AGAIN?????
Which RINO? Cause I’d rather have a Democrat than Lindsey Graham.
“Voting in RINOs gave us what we have today”
Voting in the Primary has started in Texas. We are waiting with baited breath on the outcome of the Senate Rep. primary.
There are other State positions that can produce small G’ment nominees. - Lt. Gov. race has a number of very good candidates
It depends on what they support. The biggest, and perhaps last battle that will sink us Conservatives, for many years, is voting rights, which includes amnesty primarily, and voting for felons. Our loss of the electorate will forever end us as a party. I would take a rat who is against amnesty over a RINO who supports amnesty.
Romney did not extend coattails into the states. He did not make it a central theme in his stump speeches to tell Americans to rally around the Republicans on their local ballots. He and McConnell did not appear regularly together to support retaking the Senate.
In 2014, Democrats are defending even more vulnerable seats this time, and again we fail to see McConnell and company leading a national message on why it's important for Republicans to retake the Senate.
He's not laying down a series of planks to campaign on. He's not saying what he will fight to do to change the direction of the country. He's not explaining why it's important to send X, and Y, and Z to the Senate to help him.
Nothing will change until the weak and feckless Senate leadership is changed.

To all of those people I say, are you happy with the state of the country now that we have a President Obama???
I'm not.
I hated the fact that the only GOP candidate we could garner (playing by the GOPe rules, that is) was first McCain then Romney, but I'm certainly worse off personally, financially and medically since we have a President Obama!
I saw a guy was kicked out of the polling place in Waller County for wearing a pro-2A shirt. He should have come back with that famous gunner Wendy Davis to escort him in.
Agree Romney was a weak candidate.
He did get considerably more votes than Cruz or Murdoch though.
Then work toward getting RINOs who are the enemy out and good people in. Because Dems are what they are. The only hope is electing those who will oppose them.
RINOs oppose conservatives. History proves that.
Show me a difference.
A RINO. A dem will never do the right thing. A RINO will once in awhile at least.
The Republican Party is what it is. Conservatives will always have a place there and the more they participate the more influence they will have. This nation was founded and organized by compromise and accommodation. That will not change, no matter how much you want it to. Conservatives even on FR can not agree on a handful of principles, yet expect half the country to agree. Voting for candidates who come closest to those principles are our best hope even though they frequently fall short of our expectations. Flame away.
The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. A RINO is worse than a Democrat for SOOOOO MANY reasons.
He posted xrays of patients.
Ronald Reagan would be shredded by a fair number of today’s FReepers. He put tariffs on imported motorcycles to save jobs at a unionized US manufacturer.
80% and all the big issues. If they cant meet that. No dice.
In those famous words: " At this point what difference does it make"!
and how does that translate into “we need to re-elect the scumbag Roberts”??
Evil is evil. There is no greater or lesser.
It’s not even a hard question. I prefer a Democrat who’s honest about their agenda over a RINO, any day. We can win the discussion of liberal views vs. constitutional conservative. We can’t win with backstabbers in our midst.
