there are a ton of freepers who always vote to elect the dems....they'll hide behind "principle" or "conservatism" but what they really do is just hand election after election the dems.....

they elected bamey in 2012 and Frankin and a multitude of others....

its called cutting your nose off to spite their faces....it matters, another 2 years, the last 2 years of Obama with dimwit controlling the senate is nauseating.

When there is no difference between the GOPe and the Dem then what’s the point?

Pure unsubstantiated bovine feces.

Yet here you are.

YOU are the ones who hide behind “principle”, which is code for “useful idiot”. Conservatives are finally showing some RESISTANCE to tyrants and the RINO’s who prop them up.

You show nothing so far as I can tell.

Well written and correct. Roberts is a reliable vote for conservatives most of the time and did not deserve the treatment he received. The tea party wanted a scalp and went after him. The lunacy of it all.

Someone wrote on this thread that Roberts is a bad candidate. Roberts has been in office for decades - he can't be but so bad of a candidate. A bad candidate is one like, uhmmm-uhmmm Akin or, let's see, oh yes, O'Donnell.

Anyway, the last time Kansas elected a senator of democrat persuasion was in the 1930s.

In a republican year, the odds of Roberts losing are small, but there is always a possibility.

An additional prediction - McConnell is going to win by 10 points and the usual suspects on this website will be gnashing their teeth, moaning and groaning, claiming that McConnell rigged the election, cheated and the democrat should have won because, by golly, only their opinion matters and their opinion is the only plausible one to think and all the others are abhorrent and unnatural.

None of them can think strategically, at all. Simple and small minded, they have no idea how controlling the Senate can enhance 2016 presidential politics. Passing a few bills that will force Obama to address and veto, can help drive issues in the 2016 race. This is one way to go over the heads of the media.

For those of us with responsiblities like running businesses, making payroll, working hard to get ahead, we do not have the luxury to be the purest of pure. We have to live in the real world and get the best thing available, not pie in the sky fantasyland. I get the impression that the purest of pure are retired from the rat race with their govt checks. When the Democrats impose more and more burdens on us in the dreaded private sector, it is no skin off their ass. If I did not have the responsiblity of keeping my business going in this rotten economy, maybe I could have ripped Romney a new one while he was the middle of the fight with Obama.
