From a former Republican Senate majority leader to an incoming one, Trent Lott has this advice for Mitch McConnell: Deal “sternly” with renegade conservatives and quickly “coopt” new GOP senators so they don’t drift over to the obstructionist side of the party.

Romney lost because he was a terrible candidate who could not attract enough votes to win.

Period.

wish the GOP-E would deal as sternly with the ‘rats as they do with conservative republicans once in a while.

Why would they attack their allies, the Democrats?

OMG...what denial. I love it. These trolls are taking over. No wonder Jim can’t get the quarterly funds quicker.

They have to be liberal morons because, like liberal morons, they see “reality” exactly backwards from the truth.

They truly are convinced (a mental disease for sure) that a Bush/McCain/Romney/Christie president will be BETTER than a Obama/Hillary/Warren/Webb/Braindead Idiot.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! All while the RINO’s “we” put in power in 2010 and 2014 (or we want Reid as Maj leader) are publicly surrendering in a lame duck session and have spoken of how, as usual, they will “go after the conservative obstructionist” coming into Congress in January.

Sick cowardly bastards that should be ashamed to call themselves FReepers.

He knows that, but he don’t care. He also knows that come election time his cadre of judas goats will be out shouting, if you don’t vote for the Republican the Democrat will be elected. If you don’t vote for the RINO, you are voting for the Democrat, and numerous slogans of like nature. And this forum is over run with them.

Trent Lott was a gutless appeaser just like McConnell is.

McConnell may well be a gutless appeaser, but he is the gutless appeaser that the voters of Kentucky wanted to represent them in the Senate.

FWIW, I voted for Bevin in the primary & I refused to vote for McConnell.

Regardless of Kentuckians, the rest of the Republicans in the Senate are responsible for having him as head appeaser.

In 2016 there need to be serious primary challenges .

Send them a message or send them home


Fact is, we need to be primarying 435 today for ‘16. Our House is not pushing back at the most destructive leftist surge in history. Find TEA candidates and Eric Cantor their incumbents. Today.

Yes, arguably so. But I still was wrong in making the connection between him and Trent Lott.

Lott probably thinks this is a real feather in his hat, huh?

(who remembers what this references?)
