Would it help if President Bush campaigned with the Republican Senate candidates?
The democrats might even offer to pay his travel expenses,
if Mr. Rove is a little short of cash.
The GOP WILL WIN THE SENATE! Take that to the bank.
Yeah it’s all our fault because we wont vote for socialist R.
Good article and totally accurate. We hate RINOs, but we must hate Dems more.
But wait, Karl Rove and Haley Harbour will certainly win with all the Independents they are attracting, right? They don’t want us bumpkin. They want Chis Christie, Jeb, Romney, and McCain.
Sarah Palin is toxic and is embarrassing and needs to be crushed.
Today Akin needs to be thrown under the bus for good.
The Mississippi rubes just don’t know what’s good for them and we agree with the Left that they are racists.
Gee, what could go wrong?
“Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke swiped significant sections of her jobs plan from earlier proposals published by three Democratic candidates who ran for governor elsewhere.”

This piece is from another publication in Wisconsin by Daniel Bice—rather well written and mostly free of bias.
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/275701181.html
Here is a clip from Bice’s piece:
“Just hours after controversy erupted, Burke told No Quarter on Friday that she would not apologize for borrowing portions of her plan from other Democrats. She said she stood behind the ideas outlined in her plan.
“This is my plan on how to drive Wisconsin's economy forward,” Burke said.
BuzzFeed reported late Thursday that Burke's plan, called “Invest for Success,” includes nearly verbatim passages from the economic development plans put forward by Delaware Gov. Jack Markell in 2008, Ward Cammack of Tennessee in 2009 and John Gregg of Indiana in 2012. Cammack withdrew from his race, and Gregg was defeated.
An aide to Gov. Scott Walker, Burke's opponent, identified a separate section that were lifted from a White House press release in February, just weeks before Burke released her plan.”
Hopefully, this will see Scott Walker pull away from the wannabe Burke in the the “currently” close race.
Once again, the GOPe and their stooges are trying to scare us into voting for their candidate(s). Sh!t on us for 23 months, then a month before the elections, we hear, “It is bigger than you and your petty Tea Party. The Republic is at risk”.
At this stage, I see no difference between the Republican candidate and the Democrat incumbent in my district.
The Supreme Court nominees are in play?
You mean more liberal activist judges could be nominated and approved if the Repubs don’t control the Senate? Liberal activist judges like the ones Obama already appointed and REPUBLICANS voted for in the past?!?!?!
I guess Mitch McConnell is getting scared he is not going to be the Senate leader. Time to scare the conservatives and blame them if he doesn’t win.
Another “just do as your told” story.
A Republican-controlled Senate is no guarantee that Obama’s judicial picks won’t get through. There’s a GOP contingent that will vote for them.
Would it help if President Bush campaigned with the Republican Senate candidates?
The democrats might even offer to pay his travel expenses,
if Mr. Rove is a little short of cash.
I don’t see a difference between the Senate being held by the Democrat Party or the ‘We’re Better Democrats than the Democrats’ Party.
Will a Republican Senate block a Supreme Court nominee? They didn’t even blink as the nuclear option was crammed down their throat. Some ‘gang of X’ will ensure whatever communist is nominated.
Will they pass a conservative budget and hold the line on a veto. Not hardly. It’s those damned conservatives that want to use the powers that congress holds to force a showdown. The Senate is a club and we want to just get along...
Will a Republican Senate hold the pResident accountable for his illegal executive fiats? Of course not.
Will they hold the line on immigration? Those damned conservatives (and most other Americans, too, but that doesn’t matter) are the obstacle to Republicans being as progressive as they know they want to be on this issue.
Gay marriage? Well, that’s already a fait accompli and you should really get over it.
I don’t see any daylight between the parties. I don’t see how McConnell is one bit better than Reid. I do, however, see that rewarding McConnell with majority status teaches the BDTD Party that their base doesn’t matter. I believe it more important to rub in the message that they can’t win without their base than it is to allow a changing of the drapes with no change in policy.
So. I get probably 10 solicitations a day to help take back the Senate. By phone. By mail. By email. See. I DO have a history of supporting candidates, and the various donor lists know it.
Until someone can show me it’s in the interest of conservatives to tow the party line, I’ll continue to ignore every solicitation. Nothing in this article changes my mind. I share the writers concerns about the Democrats holding the Senate. I just believe the same exact concerns exist if the ‘Better Dems than Dems’ Party takes over.
So all that to say this: the squishes can go to hell.
Wow. That is a really compelling “blame the voter” piece. LOL.
That’s what you get for acting like Democrats and spending money to take on the Tea Party. Screw you to the author.
Conservatives’ fault.
Unless these indignant “pure” conservative voters want to gather by the millions with real pitchforks (and at that point I’d be happy to join up) and throw all the bums out, they should stop with the tougher-than-you talk, hold their noses and vote for the best choice. If they voted for Romney last time, we would be in better shape today. There’s no question. What did they accomplish last time by not voting for Romney? Somebody tell me, because these pols are not learning anything from it, and guess what? The tea party folks who get elected become corrupted just like everyone else in our suffocating, money-hungry DC cesspool.
If that happens it will just confirm how many ignorant and stupid voters live in America.
As a Republican, one is either Conservative or one is Democrat. I don’t vote for or in any way support a Democrat even if he calls himself a Republican. The Republican candidate here says all the right things and claims to be Conservative. He says he will support Boehner. I will not vote for a House member this year.
The Republican establishment told conservatives that they were going to be “crushed,” in McConnell’s own words. Thad Cochran is Exhibit A of how the GOPe cheated to defeat a conservative candidate in MS.
Now polls show that those hated conservative voters may stay home on election day and the GOPe is hauling out their scary specter of Harry Reid continuing as Majority Leader. Too bad, so sad. If they lose, the GOPe won’t get to negotiate their Illegal Alien Amnesty plan with the Democrats to favor their Chamber of Commerce cronies.
The GOP has no principles and deserves to lose.
What about MS?
Republicans would much rather lose than see Conservatives win elections. They are loyal to the Democrat Party, not to the country, not to the people.
What would Reagan do?
Reagan was personally assaulted and defeated by the establishment Republicans.
Reagan did not whine or cry or lament the party like these little babies.
Instead, Reagan doubled his efforts and took control of the party, won the White House and assumed control over a very liberal Republican Senate.
Reagan dealt with a very liberal Democrat House.
But Reagan did not whine or cry like Obama or so many here who blame the GOP for primary losses.
These people need to grow a spine!
