Time is creeping up when reality will need to set in.
We are not going to vote our way into saving our freedom.
The Senate is no good on either side and isn’t going top get better.
The House is much better, but without a good Senate, we are pretty much over.
Wishing and hoping delusions won’t save our freedom.
If the Bush League Republican fails to win the primary the NRSC will help the Democrat win.
It’s what they do.
Preventing US from keeping our country is the number 1 priority. Amnesty is the goal.
Missouri Republicans have an uncanny ability to engage in a circular firing squad. Happens time and again. Ma should be an easy target. She won’t be. And the Hollywoodie$/Union$/and DNC have not begun to donate in earnest.
McCaskill has been flooding my inbox, each time with a single “targeted for a right winger” topic, on which she is doing so wonderfully. The basic concept is to fool me into thinking she is doing wonderful work on all the things I might care about; rather than reveal the train wreck that she is.
I got nothing from her opponent, Hawley. The linked article mentioned my rep. Wagner as an alternative to Hawley, but she is a standard issue establishment republican. Nothing to write home about and not equipped to win state wide; and she knows it.

Washington (CNN)---In March, Sen. Claire McCaskill was unambiguous. The Missouri Democrat said she never once met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in her 10 years serving on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever," McCaskill tweeted. "Ambassadors call members of Foreign [Relations Committee]."
Soon after that tweet, it was revealed she did interact with the Russian ambassador.
And now, CNN has learned, McCaskill spent an evening at a black-tie reception at the ambassador's Washington residence in November 2015.
McCaskill was photographed at the event, honoring former Democratic Rep. James Symington, who hails from her state of Missouri and worked to promote US-Russia relations.
In an interview, McCaskill acknowledged attending the dinner, but she said she only did so because of her long-standing relationship with Symington, whom she said "kind of got me started in politics." She claimed the 140-character limit on Twitter did not let her clarify that she never met "one-on-one" with the Russian ambassador, and added she "did not" speak with Kislyak at the reception.
McCaskill, who is one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection next year, conceded she should have exercised more caution in her initial tweet.
"I should've been careful about the 140 characters and given it context," McCaskill said. "But it's not the first or the last time my tweets will get me in trouble."
A spokesman for McCaskill later said the senator interned for Symington in college and considers him a mentor.
After her March tweet, it was revealed that McCaskill tweeted twice about interacting with the Russian ambassador: once in 2013 about a meeting pertaining to US adoptions and again in 2015 about a phone call with the ambassador about the Iran nuclear deal.
Asked about the discrepancy at the time, McCaskill claimed that her meeting with the Russian ambassador was part of a larger meeting with a group of senators and that her phone call was a brief one about the nuclear deal.
And in an interview last week with CNN, she also made a similar distinction in explaining her presence at the Russian ambassador's home in 2015.
"So on those two occasions, I was in the presence of the Russian ambassador, was in the same place I was, but never did he come to my office, never did he request a meeting with me, never did I have a meeting with him as a member of the Armed Services Committee," McCaskill said.
Cheating aside, the Rats know how to use social media while the GOPe still think campaign buttons with catchy slogans are the bees knees!
Low volume ping list
FReepmail me to be on, or off, this list.
Yale and Stanford educated. That’s good. His education will be looked at after the Akin debacle.
Thars an easy call...a filthy democrat hag vs a human being.
I suspect that the GOP will do everything to NOT win the seat. They feel content to not support any candidate that would be an ally to President Trump and are more comfortable when they are not in majority.
