“Oh, yeah, voting Dem will really help conservatives! It might help you feel you’re saying neener, neener, neener to the GOP establishment, but they don’t care and meanwhile Harry Reid and Obama are high-fiving each other at your efforts to keep the Dems in power.
It’s a numbers game. Get the best Republican you can, but if you can’t get a good one, get any Republican. Unless there are more GOPers than Dems, no matter how pure and conservative the GOPers may be, they’re powerless.”
You are the voice of logic and reason — if only people would listen...
There isn’t any ABSOLUTE rigid rule. A stiff enough minority might be able to inspire more to join their raft next election cycle — just to be fair to the purists.
But that’s probably more practical if they can’t meet in a phone booth.
The liberal republican leadership must be denied a majority in the Senate.
Liberal republicans are what is moving the liberal agenda forward.

Logic and reason? Spare me. If Cochran pulls this off and wins in the general, the GOP-E will use this despicable tactic against the Tea Party whenever there is a serious primary challenge. The base cannot let this stand. The GOP-E has to know there is a line and they just crossed it big-time. We don't have to vote against every GOP-E congresscritter. But IMO it is imperative to send a clear message here. Namely, to the GOP-E, Alinksy the Tea Party at your own peril.
The GOP-E has shown, time and time again, that they will fight harder against the Tea Party than against the Dems - even though the Tea Party gave them their house majority in 2010. If the GOP loses ones Senate seat in teaching them that there is a boundary, so be it. After all, they had no problem stabbing Tea Party primary winners in the back in 2010.
I voted for Dole....and that was a BIG GIANT REPUBLICAN GOPe mistake..!!!
I voted for McCain..and that was another HOODWINK by the GOPe...
I voted for McRomney...and THAT was another GOPe disaster!!!
And you think that's logic and reason?!?!?! Who the hell pays you!!??
You are a poor cry from being Innovative...
Go serve your masters...wherever they reside..........
