I'm not going to stay home or vote Liberaltarian simply to cut off my nose to spite Karl Rove's face. I'm holding it and voting GOP instead.

The specter of Hairy Reid and the Dems holding the Senate is too horrifying to face - even without my nose.

Worth repeating:

There are many reasons for this: tough primary fights, the “establishment vs. Tea Party” meme, stubbornness, arrogance, ignorance, ego. You name it, a segment of the center-right coalition suffers from it.

The GOPe’s are bankrupt of ideas, a message, a vision.
Only democrats bad, Harry Reid evil.
And that will not be enough.

Its the only reasonable course of action.Next time we obviously have to nationalize many more primary races than we did this time.

Wow, The Republicans make me feel like an abused wife. They call me names and cheat on me behind my back and then promise they’ll do better the next time?
I’ve been hearing this for years. I’m done.
The American people haven’t experienced enough pain yet. They’ve become accustomed to mediocrity. When the D & R after a name no longer represents a difference in policies, there is nothing a voting block can change.
What ticks me off is they know they might lose without us and yet they are unwilling to concede any of their power to accommodate.
They acknowledge that we are not supporting them. They know we are principled people and actually believe in something. They realize they may not win without us yet they are unwilling to change their ideals and we are the bad guys?
Doing something over and over and expecting a different result is insanity. I’m not participating.

BS. I voted against my RINO US senator, he used the same tactics on Conservative TN State Rep Joe Carr as cochran used on McDaniel’s. Cross over dem votes to win.

DIRTY POLITICS from a man who votes 62% dem and is breaking his oath to the US Constitution daily and his oath of 2 terms and OUT. TN lamar alexander. corker is the next RINO in 2016 that needs ousting.

We have 4 State Constitutional Amendments on our ballot. And you don’t have to vote for the RINO governor to vote on the amendments. YES on 1, 3, 4 NO on 2 unless you love paying more taxes. I plan on only voting for the State Constitutional Amendments. To H with the RINOS on the ballot.

This election is about the following things, and the following things only – Barack Obama, Harry Reid and the Supreme Court.

And, it is about what got us these monsters to begin with Mr. Hunter. Big government republicans. Me too, me too, me too.

By any scale the worst GOP RINO is better than the most conservative DEM. See all the ratings by Heritage, ACU, etc.

You are absolutely correct. Here is my Excel version of the Heritage rankings. The most conservative Democrat is, amazingly, Harry Reid at 11%.

Like it or not, we do not have a Senate with very many Senators in the mold of Mike Lee and Ted Cruz. But that is no reason to vote Harry Reid back in as Senate Majority Leader. How foolish that would be.

Someone tell me - why should I support a liberal under any circumstance?

We'll eventually prevail. The key factor is how long Americans are willing to endure pure misery before seeing things our way.

You aren't "done" you never started. It's as much your fault as mine or any of the rest of us that the rinos scored as big as they did during the primaries. Time we all take personal responsibility for losing and stop expecting the driveby media to get fair and balanced or the GOPe to all of a sudden grow a conscience or become conservative. There is no Easter bunny. If we want stuff done we have to do it ourselves and stop depending on some mysterious "they" to get the job done.

"They" don't exist.

Sirius Lee, seems we have the same problem. Instead of being called a hobbit we are called Neanderthals in TN.

I can’t be racist, I have 3 bi-racial great grands.

What I have is an issue with is RINOS as they are no different than libtard demoRATS.

Get over yourself mr writer and learn the TRUTH for once.

We want GOD, COUNTRY, FLAG, 2nd Amendment and the rest of the US Constitution enforced. Our borders sealed. Our Troops to flatten our enemies, not doing meals on wheels. Carpet bomb those poppy fields. Scorch earth policy on them and their manufacturing of weapons plants.

RINOS turned their backs on us, betrayed us, SO GO TO H with out my vote.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Psycho skank Hillary needs a republican controlled House and Senate for her 2016 campaign.

She’s going to get her supporters to vote for the repub then after they get elected her supporters will make the claim of vote fraud and the repubs stole the election.

She’s also going to use repubs own words against them after the repubs win.

Following the 2006 when the dems won election everything started going in the tank.

Repubs have been saying for the past 8 years everything tanked after the dems took control.

Right now everything is planned out to go to hell in a hand basket right after the election so it can be blamed on the republican win.

Not only the economy but Hillary’s banking on the repubs voting to send ground forces into Iraq so she can make the claim the repubs got us into another war in Iraq.

Apparently you forget about that money missing from Hillary’s State Department.

She can do a lot of damage to the economy with that much money especially if someone like Soros has control of it and you don’t care if you loose it.

What is the party offering for the next two years?
I’m hard pressed to find it.

A Senate sans Harry Reid leading it.
That alone should be incentive enough.

A number of the GOP candidates aren't conservative enough for my liking either but any repub is better than a dim.

Sitting out an election ,esp. one as important as this one because the repub isn't conservative enough is a disservice to the Country IMO.
As close as the Country is to having a majority dependent society this my be our last chance .

Interesting chart. By my cipherin’, the very “worst” ‘Pub rates twice as good as the very “best” ‘Rat. That pretty well tells the story.

Agreed!!! We should hit the rinos with everything we have in the primaries...we are having an affect on the party...we are dragging it to the right. Main objective still remains defeating the democrats!!
