Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter almost had me convinced the other night. They almost had me. I think even Mark Levin hinted at it.
Elect Republicans, any republican, to stop Obama's agenda and get rid of Harry Reid.
Ann Coulter was so animated over it that I thought she was going to melt down. She was visibly and mockingly furious with anyone stupid enough not to vote for those like Mitch McConnell, or her love, as she describes him, Scott Brown. All the republicans she is pushing are Chamber of Commerce, big government hacks.
Anyway, this seems to be the refrain from the right, not just from the establishment, but also from conservatives. We must halt the Obama surge and throw out Harry Reid, so let's hold our collective noses once again and pull the lever.
And then what? And then no one has an answer because there is no answer, and they will not allow that question to be asked.
So, I guess I'll ask it again. And then what? Republicans take control of the House and Senate and then what?
Let me also answer that. Nothing gets done. At least nothing we want. Nothing gets slowed down or stalled. Nothing gets repealed. And why? Well, they already have a built in excuse for that. Now they need the presidency in 2016 to really get things done.

I am saying nine Republicans voted for Sotomayor, and five voted for Kagan. Plus the GOP worked so they didn’t have to face a messy cloture vote. For the most part, it is establishment types running this cycle so can you say Justice Holder?
Nothing. But the Pollyannas are convinced that big, big things will happen. Mitch will roll up his sleeves and boy oh boy, he and Thad and Cornyn and McCain and Graham will make magic!
If you're going to take a cheap potshot at another FReeper, at least have the courtesy to Ping her.
Ping.
You’ll be preparing? Preparing for what? Armed revolt? An independent “libertarian” candidate who is probably a charlatan, or a stealth candidate?
Look, the “R’s” have clearly not covered themselves in glory over the last ten years or so, but the Dems are so vile and so evil and so anti-American, that to not vote strategically to block them is just insane.
Which does not mean a lot, Bush won in 2000 with a negative popular vote.
The numbers that count are: Obama 332, Obama lite (Romney) 206 electoral votes.
It wasn’t meant for you personally, it was meant for those that think voting for democrats to send a message to the GOPe is a brilliant strategy. Like you I would rather be beheaded by ISIS than vote democrat and want nothing to do with conservatives who advance Marxism with deviant strategies like voting for democrats.
Republicans don't want to change the system - they just want to be first in line to get the loot.
That is why they fight the Tea Party and conservatives harder than they fight democrats.
If they win the senate they will do just what they did in the eight years Bush was president:
Pig out at the trough and stuff their pockets and the pockets of their pals.
IMO that is a secondary question, the core question being:
"Which party can better help us realize the American Dream?"
My answer: I would rather work to perfect the Republican party than try to convert the socialist D party.
One who refuses to vote for the lesser of two evils is, in essence, voting for the greater of two evils.
Says it all D, says it all.
“One who refuses to vote for the lesser of two evils is, in essence, voting for the greater of two evils.”
You betcha!
Who cares about the grass? My point is that it is the same damn road.
Maybe because FreeRepublic is not a Republican forum. Ever consider that? Duh...
If someone can and make a difference between Obama having control of the senate his last two years and they don’t vote, they’re a damned idiot.
They trust Obama a lot more than I do. And they haven’t seen anything yet now that he doesn’t have to be concerned with any more elections. He will bring a wrecking ball to this nation. I believe some on here may want that.
Don’t forget, if Romney had been in office when Newtown happened the RINO’s would have been all over themselves backing new firearms restrictions and Romney, as president, would have signed them.
Personally, I lean toward your thinking on this subject, and having Barry in the executive china shop was instrumental in making sure about 10-20 million additional rifles got into the general populace along with mountains of ammo...
I’ll vote, for sure, and most likely for the R’s out here in CA unless there’s a viable Constitutional or Libertarian candidate for my district, but I don’t place any confidence in all but a few R’s to stand by our principles (note “our” too, we’re not electing them to stand by “their principles” we’re electing them to represent OUR principles!).
