Conservatives, Losing One Battle Doesn’t Mean We Have Lost The War

Which is exactly what Cochran and his supporters did to conservatives, and it's not the first time, They oppose conservatives with much more zeal than they ever show in opposing Hussein...

I know, right!?

They'll likely lose MS and this event has taught everyone about the similarities and difference [if much at all] between Dem and GOPe.

The lines are clearer and that is good IMO. I hope we can get the Senate without Cochran.

Vote for the gop establishment? HA! How many times will you forgive your adulterous wife? I’ve done so at least every other year since Reagan’s last term. I’ve decided she is just a round-heeled tramp who will always let any liberal wanker have his way with her. She’s not going to change. I’d rather have an empty bed than to smell the musk of randy dems on her every night!

[MamaTexan]

when a couple of Cochran shills characterized our reaction as “hurt feelings”?

Was that the 'what a bunch of thumb-suckers' with a few pity party's thrown in?

Gee. the people who want my support and expected it all these years just called me racist and 'won' by inciting the welfare class to commit voter fraud!

Did those posters really think those childish insults would have any effect?

[Principled]

The likes of Cochran won’t multiply Cruz’s and Lee’s strength.

I didn't say it would. You must have replied to the wrong poster in your zeal to attack someone, anyone!

[SpeakerToAnimals]

I want a majority too. 60 Mitch McConnels and John McCains is no different than 60 democrats. Removing progressives is my goal. (D) or (R) makes no difference to me.

“We can get even with the GOP establishment later; we need to beat the Democrats first.”

How about in the next White House run, when they foist yet another liberal on us? Will that be too soon? And they will foist another liberal, after we swallow this. They already do now, they'll really be emboldened if they get away with this. Some amnesty shill.

[mrsmel]

I have not attacked any poster here, but I will attack leftists in conservative clothing from sun to sun.

[dirtboy]

Seems the GOP-E is more interested in fighting the Tea Party than the Dems. We didn’t pick this fight, they did, starting in 2010 and coming to a head with this fiasco.

[sport]

Essentially, the Establishment Republicans and Democrats are one and the same.

[dirtboy]

The reason why conservatives don’t win is because instead of uniting like the left, they divide. Don’t blame the left, blame yourself

Who is doing the dividing here? Hint - it isn't the Tea Party. It was the GOP-E that slimed us. And they will continue to slime us if they end up winning in MS.

[mrsmel]

None whatsoever. Wack birds, racists, obstructing Obama’s agenda (would that it were so).

[Principled]

I have not attacked any poster here...

I suppose that's a matter of opinion. But what is clear is that the Dems and GOPe love to see us giving it away.

In fact, I would not be surprised to learn that some of the Dem/GOPe kids are here promoting it. Sleepers even.

[mrsmel]

Yes, that was implied in another thread. Are you implying it regarding me? Would that be an attack?

[Drrdot]

Seems to me that the author doesn’t realize that it’s hard to fight the enemy at your front (Democrats) when you’ve also got enemies at your back (GOPe). First priority needs to be the people who will backstab you or else they’ll do it at the time you need them most. It reminds me of the scene in Braveheart where William Wallace is betrayed by the nobles on horses right in the middle of a crucial battle. Also, his point of view is so short sighted. He is like the person who doesn’t understand why we don’t negotiate with terrorists. The last thing we want to do is give credence to the Chochran strategy for future GOPe politicians to emulate.

[MamaTexan]

Projection for the purpose of baseless personal attack.

How Alinsky of you.

[mrsmel]

Yes. But defend the men who have unequivocally attacked conservatives, namely Thad Cochran. I held my nose and voted for Romney. I said never again, and I meant it. Cochran has outstripped Romney by a mile in backstabbing conservatives. I will vote for McDaniels for Senate, he’s a conservative. I will never vote for Cochran or any rat, for any reason. And it’s some irony for anyone to accuse those of us who won’t vote for Cochran, who blames conservatives for obstructing Hussein’s commie agenda, as “sleeper leftists”.

[Principled]

No certainly not but it is all around us. Most of them are easily spotted though. They don’t hide so well.

You do seem anxious to attack tho - tough day already?

[Principled]

Wow it’s alinsky to assert that there are trolls on FR?

Who knew?!

[MamaTexan]

Wow it’s alinsky to assert that there are trolls on FR?

No, only to insinuate that your debating opponent is one when you've run out of arguments.

It reminds me of the scene in Braveheart where William Wallace is betrayed by the nobles on horses right in the middle of a crucial battle.

Good analogy. I can definitely see Barbour and McConnell as the Scottish noblemen in todays battles.
