If I lived in SW Ohio, in this one and only instance, I would vote for the Democrat in November.
The GOP is likely to keep a healthy margin in the House, no matter what happens.
Punishing Boehner and sending a chilling message to the GOPe is the most important thing we can do right now.
I am trying to decide between not voting for Cantor(VA 7) or actually voting against him. I am really considering it.
Isn’t there someone on a third party ticket? Voting for a democrat? Really??
Same here. If they totally ignore us (and they are close) the GOPe will be a greater disaster than any Dim could hope.
My take is that precisely because so many Tea Partiers were "first timers" and really novices---a wonderful thing for ideology---they tended to seriously let down ther guard and more important, failed to BUILD the movement after 2010. Many expected that the new House members and senators would carry the ball. Some did, some (Rubio) defected, some hsve been squishy.
But here's the bad news: Tea Party groups either became angry and dropped out or lost patience. Politics is a marathon, not a sprint. The Left gets it..
I noted in my talks that Tea Party attendance began falling steadily. One Dayton chairman told me his group was nearly defunct, and that the ONLY issue that drew a crowd all year was Common Core. But it's the same wherever I travel. Chapters that existed two years ago are gone---Fargo, ND for example. Part of any revival that can take place has to be an understanding of the slow and incremental nature of American politics.
Plus it is more west central than southwest.
Look what else I found! Bonehead, himself, first got elected to congress by beating a disgraced GOP congressman in a primary. The turd bird Buz Lukens was so addicted to power, he wouldn't resign even when caught on camera.
Yep, suhweet would be winning the Senate while Mcconnell goes down to a Democrat!
