If the GOP takes the Senate in November, Jeff Sessions for Majority Leader

I'll even bite my tongue and support McConnell to win in Kentucky.

We can, and will, win the Senate without McConnell winning in KY on November 4th. How can we support a guy who vowed to "crush" Tea Partiers and true Conservativies? How can we support a man who aided and abetted Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour in the nefarious acts they committed against Christ McDaniel and Conservatives in Mississippi. Mitch held a fund raiser for Cochran and was in on the planning of the Post-Primary runoff "race-baiting" strategy. MITCH McCONNELL IS EVERY BIT AS DESPICABLE AS HALEY BARBOUR. He hates people like you and me. I'd vote for a one-eyed crack whore before I'd vote for Mitch McConnell.

It would be immoral for any conservative to vote FOR Grimes, a radical pro-abortionist.

To not vote for McConnell is fine, or to vote by write-in, those I’d have no problem with.

But to actually give MY vote, my name attached to this baby-killer, is me supporting everything that I’ve fought against for decades.

As I said, blatantly immoral.

[xzins]

I have no problem with you personal analysis. The only thing I would say is that it’s morally unacceptable to vote FOR Grimes. She, too, hates conservatives, plus she loves Obama, plus she loves abortion up to the last minute before birth.

I disagree with your analysis that we can take the Senate and lose BOTH Cochran and McConnell. In my analysis, it requires a choice...one or the other. Cochran’s case is far worse, AND Cochran’s opponent has a lifelong pro-life voting record, even in Congress, and even when opposed by his own party. So, I can sort of see supporting Childers, but no way can they support Grimes.

[Din Maker]

To get rid of McConnell, Conservatives will need to turn out and vote for Grimes in pretty good numbers.
I just don’t, realistically speaking, see that happening.

Actually, they don't have to vote for Grimes. All we would need would be for about 100,000 of them to stay home or skip the Senate race on the ballot. Let's see guys like McConnell and Cochran win without the Base.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET MISSISSIPPI!

That is the thinking of a damn fool.

Taking the Senate is the objective, not losing it again because of petty vindictive bad thinking

[cva66snipe]

Sessions would be a decided improvement. McConnell, however, won’t step aside. Even if he loses, the establishment will push the useless whip John Cornyn for the top job.

Sad to say you're likely right. There seems to be an attitude in both house with the GOP that we'll appoint the most incompetent idiots as leader or else. Sessions would as SML would ruin their bipartisan ruling class oligarchy. If Mitch wasn't put in or Cornyn you can almost bet DEMs best friend Corker would be. He would be a bigger disaster than Frist was in that respect. I'd love to see Sessions as SML though.

[Din Maker]

I disagree with your analysis that we can take the Senate and lose BOTH Cochran and McConnell.

I never said that. Go back and read my Post #61. I said we can win the Senate without McConnell; I didn't say BOTH McConnell and Cochran. And, I understand you not voting for Grimes. Those voting records are Public Record here in Texas. I told poll workers once, when they gave me a Dem Primary Ballot by mistake, that I did not want to publicly announce that I voted for a Party that supports same-sex marriage and the killing of little, unborn babies.

So, let KY Conservatives stay home or skip the Senate race on the balot and let's see McConnell win without the Conservative Base that he so hates and has vowed to crush. That low-life, scumbag, s.o.b.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET MISSISSIPPI!

If the GOP takes the Senate in November, Jeff Sessions for Majority Leader

You do understand that the Majority Leader is chosen by the members, right?

You do understand that, even if the Republicans win back the Senate by a few votes, that a strong majority in that caucus are liberals who would die before voting for Sessions, right?

Look, I'm committed to go all in for Scott Brown (and I disagree with him about almost everything) because I think winning the Senate is important. I would even go so far as to vote for McConnell if I lived in Kentucky (I would not vote for Cochran. Every man has his limits).

But I am under no illusions about what a 52-48 GOP Senate will and will not do.

Taking the Senate is the objective, not losing it again because of petty vindictive bad thinking....

"Petty, vindictive, bad thinking"???? What in the hell are you thinking Bert? Mitch McConnell hates Conservatives. He vowed to "crush" us. He held a fund raiser for Cochran and was in on the planning of the "race-baiting" Cochran/Barbour strategy for the run-off election that disenfranchised the votes of hundreds of thousands of Conservatives. Let me ask you a question please:

I guess that if you had a daughter who had a husband who beat the hell out of her on a regular basis, but said he was "sorry" whenever he wanted sex...... I guess you'd tell her to stay with him because he can bring in a bigger pay check than those good, decent guys can...... am I right? You want us to vote for a thug who beats the hell out of us (politically) and then wants us to forgive and forget at election time. Eff him....

[Din Maker]

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FORGET MISSISSIPPI!

[bert]

You are missing the big picture.

Mitch McConnel is not the ogre you portray him to be when compared to Dirty Harry remaining in control.

By advocating such nonsense you actually harm the conservative cause.

[bert]

The Alamo eh? or perhaps the Maine?

The recent events in Missippi don’t begin to compare with the Alamo.

[tanknetter]

The problem, of course, is that there are groups of Conservatives in KY, MS and SC that are trying the stay home/vote Dem thing to keep hated Republicans from keeping their seats. We’re, potentionally, doing what we do in GOP Presidential primaries: cutting off our noses to spite our faces by fragmenting between candidates.

Mark Levin had a good take on this: that Conservatives should pick one, and only one, Senate race each year to target the RINO in the general election. Enough to send a message, but not enough to determine control of the Senate. One seat isn’t going to matter. Three seats will.

IMHO the seat to go for this cycle is Cochranes. McConnell may have raised $800k for him and looked the other way for how it was used, but Cochrane and the Barbour Machine are the ones directly responsible for the most egregious violation/assault on Conservatives.

Additionally, the MS Democrat actually looks like a Conservative. Might even be someone who, a few years down the line, might be enticed to switch parties. Like Shelby did back in the 1990s.

The key factor tho is that there’s a better chance of a general election revolt WORKING in MS than in KY or SC. The goal is to win somewhere, in a highly and publically targeted manner. Try for three and win in two or three might throw the Senate back to the Dems. Try for three and lose in three will work to undercut Conservatism.

IOW we need to pick our battles. This cycle it’s Cochrane, not McConnell, who’s the better battle to fight.

[Din Maker]

Mitch McConnell is ever bit as horrible as I said he was. We can win the Senate Majority without Mitch McConnell and then possibly get a good conservative for Majority Leader. And by the way you never answered my question.

[Din Maker]

Regarding your post number 73: You make some valid points and I can live with that. Replacing Cochran is fine with me. Logistically however the plan won’t work. Hell we can’t even agree on one conservative presidential candidate.

[RitaOK]

Just to be clear, it hadn’t entered my mind, nor my post, to recommend a vote for Grimes. I never mentioned Grimes name.

Not that voting for McConnell nor any sitting Republican at the federal level makes a whit of difference on the number of abortions occuring (and are bringing our nation to ruin), so even that go-to argument is losing it’s zing. The state congresses are the last hope on that subject, of which McConnell being dumped has absolutely no meaningful bearing whatsoever, as far as I can see.

I know we are kindred spirits on mostly everything except I am not sanguine on voting in more RINO’s. It’s the same as pouring more bad bacteria into an already infected wound and expecting improvement.

Thx, Rita

What question?

[Din Maker]

What question? ____________________________________________________________ The question I asked you in my Post #69 because you seemingly want us to just forget all the grief Mitch McConnell has caused Conservatives and kiss him and make up. This was the question I asked you:

I guess that if you had a daughter who had a husband who beat the hell out of her on a regular basis, but said he was "sorry" whenever he wanted sex...... I guess you'd tell her to stay with him because he can bring in a bigger pay check than those good, decent guys can...... am I right?

[bert]

As always, you are delusional......... irrational, not right....wrong
