OTOH, I think sometimes we Tea Partiers despair too much when we don't win every battle. That is wrong, too.
Change takes time...incrementally is often the only way to reach the goal.
“”Lugar fallout: GOP senators fret about ‘14””
GOOD. Maybe they will finally understand that We Mean Business.
May God guide our course.

Why Grahamnesty hasn't already been "Lugared" himself is completely beyond me.
If we do well in November, which is likely but not guaranteed, I imagine we will see a number of born again conservatives emerge in the Senate. I hope they feel motivated to act patriotic to keep their jobs, whether or not it’s likely to work (and it will work to some extent, since we can’t target every RINO at once).
Are you reading this, Senator Cornyn??
Amen, Amen, And AMEN!
REMINDER:
The Rats had been using the filibuster to prevent the confirmation of conservative appellate court candidates nominated by Bush.
In the Republican-controlled 108th Congress, ten Bush judicial nominees (Miguel Estrada, Priscilla Owen, Charles W. Pickering, Carolyn Kuhl, David W. McKeague, Henry Saad, Richard Allen Griffin, William H. Pryor, William Gerry Myers III and Janice Rogers Brown) had been filibustered by the Party of Surrender and Defeat
Republicans began to threaten to change the existing Senate rules by using what Senator Trent Lott termed the "nuclear option" and which Republicans tended to call the "constitutional option" would have changed the rules eliminated the use of the filibuster to prevent judicial confirmation votes.
UP STEPS the Gang of 14 which (unfortunately and sadly) staved of the chances for the Repbuli-tards to finally show they had a pair and put the Rats in their place.
The 7 DESPCIABLE, RINO's:
Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) (no longer serving)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Mike DeWine (R-OH) (no longer serving)
Juan McPain (R-AZ) the worst or the worst!
Olympia Snowe (R-ME) (not seeking reelection)
Lindsey ("Light in the loafers" and McLame's butt-boy-protege) Graham (R-SC)
John Warner (R-VA) (no longer serving)
We will never be rid of McCain, but we can work to remove Graham-nesty and the other Maine Beeatch Sister, Collins, which should in itself send a message to the rest: "Cross the aisle and consort/support the enemy at your own risk"
The incumbents can protect themselves by voting with the Tea Party and not trying to “reach across the aisle.” A point not noted in most of he aricles I’ve read about Lugar’s loss is that, as of Thursday or Friday last week, he was runnning only 10 points behind Mourdock, but lost by 22 points, an additional 11 points, on election day. On Monday night Dick Morris, appearing on Hannity’s show, pointed out how Lugar favored the frightful LOST treaty and Rush followed up by leading with a powerful attack on Lugar on Tuesday, mentioning and emphasizing the same thing. Moral of the story for pubbie incumbents: stick to the conservative line and win; don’t, and lose.
I’d rather we focus our efforts on taking out John Boehner.
That’s a message they’d find impossible to ignore.
I’m going to send our RINO Chambliss an email just to let him know he’s toast and then two years later Isakson the other RINO. There is no govt power grab they won’t vote for.
Be afraid, Senators, be VERY afraid.
