Your logic is like saying I wouldn’t vote for Mitt over Obama because he’s not conservative enough. That BS doesn’t fly with me.

Well, if Mitt Ran ads saying Gingrich and Perry were racists who wanted to take the vote away from black people, then your analogy might be appropriate, but since that didn't happen, it isn't.

Mitch McConnell paid for racist attack ads in Mississippi to support Cochran. Now you may be okay with this sort of back stabbing, but I believe it requires a response which is unpleasant for the people who did it.

Enjoy Obama controlling the senate for the next two years.

If that is what is required to burn traitors, then I will endure it and count myself lucky.

Sometimes you’ve got to settle for less than you want. It happens.

And sometimes you have to convince other people not to turn traitor because of what happened to the previous traitor.

The “vote for McConnell” rant is the same BS we were fed in 2008 about McCain. The simple truth is that rewarding mediocrity time and time again isn’t the road to excellence. McConnell and McCain are part of a never-ending national con job. Screw ‘em and keep supporting the Tea Party no matter what.

I know all about what happened in Mississippi so spare me. I was mad as hell.

Also, are you familiar with this?

No way...GOPe needs to pay for the Cochran fiasco, and pay dearly. I've learned that the GOPe needs to be taken down first, then pivot to fight the next war agains the Dems.

Seems Kentucky folks want to cling to the cockfighting loser candidate. Time to move on from him.


When will it be time to “move on” from a treasonous and backstabbing candidate?

Do you really expect a Senator to watch out for your best interests when he’s colluded with others, including the “opposing party” to lie, cheat and steal so he might ensure his inner circle stays in power?

Not me.

I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it is true. I can confirm what we all suspected.

The change must come from outside DC and by necessity be dictatorial in nature.

Obama has proven that there is no limit on Executive Branch power.

How many republicans, including any of the RINO persuasion, supported it?


That’s because the didn’t NEED RINO votes.

Remember the crap “Maverick” McCain and his “Gang of Eight” pulled when Bush was in office? I sure as hell do and I have no doubt that if they didn’t have enough votes for Obamacare, quisling “Maverick” McCain and his “Gang of Eight” would have ridden to the rescue and saved Obama’s day.

We know what you’re peddlin and we ain’t buying.

I caught that, too. Irk a troll long enough with the truth and he’ll wind up outing himself.

My representatives? I don’t live in Mississippi.


Neither do Corynyn nor McConnell. The GOPe paid for adds falsley labeling “TEA Party” as being racist.

Do you support the GOPe?

I feel your pain...Cornyn’s heading in that direction.


If Corynyn wins I might just buy a sombrero and ride to Mexico.

Attitudes like this run people away from the tea party. The “It’s all or none!!!” attitude is a map to failure.


Hey COBOL2Java,

I’m sure you understand the concept of “willful ignorance.”

This isn’t “All or None.” It’s all about backstabbing and treason. Until boycott acknowledges this there’s no actual discussion.

Once we can have a discussion we should examine how our founders dealt with traitors.
