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

Democrats Are Poised To Hold The Senate, And It’s Conservative’s Liberal Republican Establishment Leadership's Fault

Corrected this for grammar and punctuation.

If the Republicans fail to win control of the Senate in November, it will be attributable to two things:

1. The GOP simply doesn't have a message. Maybe it's not their fault because the problems facing this nation are unsolvable, but nobody other than a rabid partisan voter is ever going to get off their @ss to support a candidate who doesn't have a coherent message that resonates with the public.

2. People recognize that Republican control of the Senate is totally inconsequential. Control of the U.S. Senate will have no bearing on what happens in Washington over the next two years, especially with a Beltway GOP that is dominated by people who have no interest in doing their jobs anyway.

Wow, this guy lives in the delusional world actually believing the Republican party is committed to implemented Conservative principles!

I’m not excited about a GOP senate majority with the likes of Mitch Mcconnell running the senate GOP. He’s as feckless as Harry Reid.

This guy needs to get over himself and start demanding the GOP be real Conservatives instead of fake ones.

I live in Texas and will vote Republican, but I will be damned if I send the likes of Scott Brown any of my $$$money again!

Let the Democrats take the Senate again and with it the Supreme Court and put America further down the shit hole. America is half-dead now, that would only finish the job RIP. It can never be the same again, there are too many socialist minded idiots voting (Romney’s 47% and growing).

Like Davey Crocket said “you may all go to hell, as for me, I am going to Texas”. Patriots rose up once and broke Texas away from Mexico, it can and will be done again!

There you go again posting that “incomplete” bogus rating system.

Why don’t you post the “cloture” votes of McConnell and his band RINO’S?
You know, those votes that sent liberal bills to the floor for a simple majority vote.
You are not being very honest with your fellow Freepers, are you?

You have failed to show even one advantage to taking the senate. We have the house to stop bills, judges are rubber stamped, any new initiatives will have to compromise with president do-it-my-way-Obama. I have not heard even ONE way a republican senate will change the course of our nation. It is not enough to be against Reid/Pelosi, they need to offer a conservative vision.

If this were a presidential election, might have to go along... It is not. It is time to take the GOPe to the woodshed, and by all means, please tell them it is our fault.... They are a little slow, and need as many people as possible telling them that they have a problem with the base.

My vote does not belong to you or any of the POS GOP candidates that you want retained simply because of their party affiliation. All you care about is the Party, not the country. Go pound sand. America is more important than your anemic party.

Supreme Court? Really, McConnell will approve any warm body that Obama asks for.

There should be no RINOs in any safe conservative seat. Each one is a vote for Obama's agenda when needed.

“Personal responsibility” starts by with voting, and that can include leaving a race blank. GOPe has failed to show how winning the senate will change anything. It is now time to pay the price. I’m a conservative, not a republican, and thus in some races... I got no one on the ballot.

I live in Massachusetts. Fat chance the next senator is going to be Republican.

Exactly.

Most likely the toughest place to vote for a rino will undoubtedly be in Mississippi where Thad Cochran will oppose the commie dem.

Months ago,Mississippi's number two man in the Tea Party there Attorney Mark Mayfield was accused of being a part of a small group that conspired to videotape Cochran's wife. She has been in a rest home with Alzheimers for years while Cochran maintains a dc home with his tootise courtesy of you guessed it Haley Barbour/BGR.

When the allegations hit the press Mayfield was arrested, taken to jail in cuffs and the next day his three biggest clients,all banks he had represented for years quit his legal firm.Prior to that Mayfield had an unparalleled perfectly spotless record with hardly even a speeding ticket. The entire thing smelled badly.

Two weeks later he was found dead in the garage of his home apparently a victim of suicide.

For Mississippians to vote for Cochran after this is a huge stretch.

The problem is however, you must think in terms of electing the next Supreme Court Justice and how the balance of the court could be effected.

If we don't get the Senate things could go down hill rapidly.

We already know amnesty is coming our way and with the other ops already in play by the commies now in power we basically owe it to our kids not to aid or abet them in any way.

Best guesses are Cochran won't finish his term and Haley Barbour already has his replacement picked out.

But, here the rub for Barbour.His antics have created a huge firestorm and everyone now knows what and how he will have won.

Chances are really good it won't happen again.

And... if it does whose fault will it be?

We need to start looking into the mirror "more" not less.

Romney received more votes than McCain.

The “didn’t vote for Romney” canard is a fallacy.

Everything the man said is correct. Most of you elected Obama, are working on keeping Harry Reid in control of the Senate, and will soon have a left wing Supreme Court for at least a generation.

And I knew you’d be rationalizing and attacking the author before I even finished the article. At some point you need to actually oppose the communists or you may as well apply to join the party.

Barack Hussein Obama loves you.

Remember there is no Easter bunny who will magically get conservative candidates for you to vote for. And, the GOPe sure as hell wont do it either. You have to take a hand in it your self. And if you fail own up to it.If you want to elect commies instead of GOPe rinos who got there because you and I and the rest of us didn’t get the job done to keep them out that’s your business.

Because I’m not a one trick pony. The world doesn’t begin and end with cloture votes. If you don’t like my charts post your own. Give us your Cloture Vote Ratings Chart.

.


If things continue on their current course, the GOP will not retake the Senate. Anyone telling you differently is selling something.


Karl Rove and the GOP-E ... LAUGHED at the "foolish" Tea Party folks and Chris McDaniel who won the Mississippi Senate Primary ...

Mitch McConnell wants to politically "exterminate" the Tea Party ...

Boehner calls the Tea Party "knuckleheads" ...



Now ... suddenly ... all the GOP-E folks are "amazed" and "astounded" that the Tea Party folks WON'T crawl over broken glass to make ...

Mitch McConnell the 2014 U.S. Senate Majority Leader.



If I lived in Mississippi I'd vote AGAINST Thad Cochran ... just to get his sorry carcass OUT of the U.S. Senate.

Many here are in their second childhood, or they are not what they claim to be.
