“It’s the lesson of Ronald Reagan in 1976, and it’s a lesson McDaniel should emulate. “
Oh what bullshit.
Another “Conservatives should roll over for RINOs” screed.
Townhall goes GOPe...FU Derek.
“In Mississippi, Thad Cochran won the Republican primary”
Except he didn’t and we know he didn’t. the fraud has been exposed, and even if he had won, he didn’t win the Republican primary because Republicans voted McDaniel by an 8 point margin
Yes, it’s really a shame the GOPe were so stupid, but what is done is done. Of course, they COULD get old Thad to retire now and let McDaniel’s take the seat but they won’t. Sigh, nothing we can do.
Kill the Republican Party.
There is no hope of a future if all we have in this country are two Liberal parties. We must get rid of one of them so that an alternative approach can arise.
BTW Kaslin, this whole article is about how those of us who are furious should just get over it. I say their side should just get over it and do something if they want our vote. Good thing I’m in in MS because I’m so made I would actually vote for the democrat just to make absolutely sure the GOPe did not prosper from their dirty tricks.
If the GOPe hadn’t stabbed Sharon Angle in the back, Harry Reid wouldn’t be Majority Leader in the first place. So, we have to support the anti-conservative GOP establishment that handed Reid his last election....wait for it...in order to defeat Reid.
The GOPe might want Reid gone, but not at the expense of replacing him with one of us. Tell me again why our priorities - and political strategies - should be any different from those we are now encouraged to support.
If we followed the establishment MO, Cochran and McConnell would both go down in defeat along with much hand-wringing about how their losses prove that establishment candidates can’t win in Nov.
I didn’t set these rules of engagement. The establishment did. You can do better than this, Derek.
Never mind that he has drained GOP coffers, denying Brat of that money.
It’s the lesson of Ronald Reagan in 1976, and it’s a lesson McDaniel should emulate.
Brat didn't win by pulling in black Democrat voters and sliming the Tea Party with talking points straight out of the left wing.
The Republican Party is in a Civil War. Until the establishment decides to form a coalition with its base instead of trying at every turn to undermine it, the establishment deserves to lose.
They started this war, they can end it. It serves no purpose to question the validity of why the base is taking up arms. The answer is simple: we’re done taking so-called friendly fire.
In the meantime, I’ll be damned to be lectured about how I have an obligation to lay down arms in a civil war not started by me and still actively being waged against me. The GOPe can go to hell.
Nice pile of the same old same old.
The despicable tactics used in Mississippi are nothing new in the corruption that is inherent in all human endeavor. Men are not angels.
In the past, it’s been “done in the dark”. Sure, there would be rumors and hearsay about such, and an occasional challenge.
But, in Mississippi, they did it, KNOWING FULL WELL that it would all be exposed. And they would stand pat, with a “What are you going to do about it” smirk.
If they are not resisted by every possible method (up to and including at the next election) we will get more of the same. Why would they abandon tactics that work?
Rino’s would rather lose the Senate than allow conservatives in the party, even in the House they would rather lose seats than have conservatives win.
Rino’s will abandon all party principles, rather than have conservatives anywhere near their seats of power.
This business of taking over the party, is not going so well, the effort has been extinguished by the realization that the party, was far more corrupt than thought.
I’ve have been against a third party, believing it could not win, but now I say BRING IT ON!
If conservatives vote for Cochran...the GOP will pull the similar stunts again
I may be new here... but seems to be a lot of articles begging conservatives to vote for GOPLib, esp Cochran....after the Vote Fraud scheme in MS
The Jolly special election in Florida is the most appropriate for this discussion.
After the GOPe moderate, female, etc candidates lost to the conservative in the primary the GOPe then rallied behind the conservative winner with money and organization.
Conservatives need to make an honest assessment of how big the Republican majority in the senate will likely be.
Once we know that Republicans will have 52 votes, a slim margin, then we can calculate how many RINOs can be purged by surrendering their seats to Democrats.
Mitch McConnell is the leader of the pack among potential purgees.
While Thad Cochran is reprehensible, the number two slot for those who should be abandoned goes to Lindsey Graham.
Cochran ties for third with Lamar Alexander.
This uniparty quisling is right in one respect: the cause of Liberty is bigger than any one candidate. Its also bigger than the uniparty or the nation state.
Where he completely misses the point, probably intentionally, is by suggesting that supporting one faction of the uniparty over the other will matter.
That's because Beat wasn't elected by Democrat vote fraud. That this author can't see the difference disqualifies him from serious consideration on this subject.
another shot up and do as you’re told story from the media once again. No thanks and I will not be voting for Brown in New Hampshire this year
Which means it's also bigger than any political party.....no matter what.
Remember Mississippi!
