Democrats Are Poised To Hold The Senate, And It’s Conservative’s Fault

and specifically what bile is that.....

I said this a few days ago and I’ll repeat it;

“Is anyone else tired of the same shtick every 2 years? “Vote Republican or the Democrats are gonna get you!”, and then you have to hold your nose and accept the politico hand-picked by the party bosses. And when someone threatens that sweet set-up a la Chris McDaniel in Miss. those “leaders” will not only ally themselves with their brothers-under-the-skin Democrats, they will use the SAME tactics we’ve come to expect from the left, like flooding the Rep. primary with Dem. voters, calling fellow Republicans racists and accusing them of voter intimidation to get out the black vote, etc.
The GOP has been infected by the rot of corrupt power-hungry individuals, and the only cure is amputation. Refuse to re-elect those who care more about keeping their jobs than doing their jobs. It may hurt for 2 years, but if we continue on our present course there may not be a real GOP in the future, just a collection of pretenders who wallow in their offices while getting their marching orders from the other side. Real close to what we have right now, isn’t it?...”

If you have to ask that maybe you should sit home.”Dumb” is never an asset.

Blaming Mississippi conservative voters for the illegal acts used to defeat them. Do you not even read your own posts?

Kaslin, when the poker game is rigged, it doesn’t matter if it’s the only game I town, you don’t play...

Read #113 maybe you will get it,but I doubt it.Complaining seems to be a way of life here for some. Getting things done.... not so much.

[HotHunt]

But apparently you can see it, can’t you? Feel smug in your ability to explain it to yourself because you haven’t explained it to me.

I can have my own opinion like you can but I also came up with a simple solution...VOTE versus not vote.

Being proactive may or may not solve the problem but complaining without a solution solves nothing.

Lucky for America, the “foaming at the mouth purist conservative” posters we see here are mostly talkers and not much doers, although that very mindset gave us 4 more years of nobama in 2012.

In every election in the last 50 years, when the dem/libs recognize their coming doom, they crank up similar propaganda as we see in this thread’s report “ the GOP is stupidly its own enemy”. The puzzlement is why so few on our side refuse to see it.

The GOP will indeed retake the Senate, because only a very small portion of voters reflect “foaming at the mouth purist conservatives” who can can think beyond the end of their nose and recognize that important battles are won incrementally.

In your haste to insult me you neglected to answer the question. As I suspected, you are like a door-to-door salesman who rings my doorbell but doesn't have anything to sell me when I open the door.

Larry Kudlow had a great interview on his radio show yesterday with Steve Forbes. Kudlow asked Forbes to give a prediction about the November elections, and Forbes gave an answer that directly relates to my question. He said he thought the GOP would win control of the Senate, but the bigger issue is what the heck it would even mean ... because the Republican Party hasn't given a clear message to voters in a long time.

If you think Steve Forbes is "dumb," then I'll take that as a compliment.

[rodguy911]

I see. You’re attacking the abused wife for failing to support her husband. Gotcha.

YOU got nothing.What are you talking about? Bizarre comment.

Oh - and you apparently cannot see that many people see withholding the vote in the general election to be part and parcel - integral - to “getting the job done” in reclaiming the party.

So you want to punish the party by sitting home and letting the left win because you failed to make sure your candidate won,--just not my type of strategy sorry....seems we tried that in 2012--how'd that work for ya?

But, no, you just want to continue ad nauseum rewarding the GOPe. Gotcha.

Learn to read its always helpful.

I am not trying to redirect this thread, but more and more lately, Forbes is looking like Presidential Timber IMHO. The business savvy of Romney without all his social issue baggage.

Imagine Forbes as POTUS and where the country would be. Other than Cheney who says he won't run, I can't think of anyone with the gravitas ( and age and with it comes wisdom ) that can handle the job that is a Reaganite ( Ted Cruz, sure, but the press and the same EGOP that this author is talking about that he wants our support for will destroy him ).

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner.

Well I would like to see us retake the Senate but I observed in Nov 2012 that we had just gone past the ballot box. This country is not going to be fixed by the GOP taking over the Senate. At some point there is going to be a resolution conflict and it will hopefully be resolved.

I am still waiting for even one GOP legislator to outline the list of rogue or unnecessary govt agnecies the Republicans plan to slash and/or shutter when they take control. I suspect its because they have no list nor any plans to greatly reduce the size and scope of govt which is the single core problem.

Its the bureaucracy stupid.

[Turbo Pig]

The GOP is giving me no reason to come out to vote for them.

But, but, but...they aren't democrats!

[353FMG]

Don’t you like to fill out the many “surveys” they send through the mail?

The GOP really wants to know your opinion.

[MortMan]

As you stated in the quoted post, both voting or not voting is a choice. But, in your succeeding analysis, the choice of not voting becomes magically a choice to vote for the opposition.

The non-sequitur is in equating not casting a vote (not creating the "thing" called a vote) into casting a vote the other way.

[353FMG]

>They want our votes, but not our values.<

.
Not so — have you not noticed the many “surveys” they’re sending through the mail in envelopes stamped ‘OFFICIAL’?

Your opinion is highly valued.

[Jonty30]

If the Democrats win in November, America is finished as we know it and that is no exaggeration.

[X-spurt]

The bureaucracy is what we allow it.

The dems figured out a long time ago the greater importance of their being about to load up to the Judiciary. If we enable them to keep the Senate this time, they will continue at their now rapid pace and there is more than an equal chance they will get to add another liberal to the SCOTUS. That’s one of the important reasons we must stop the dem’s control of the Senate.
