Same thing here in Indiana.
We got rid of Lugar (a 70% Republican) and replaced him with Donnelly (a 97% Baraqqi) for the next 6 years. Doesn’t that feel great?
Somebody has to vet these Tea Party candidates and teach them that the progressive media is out to blow them up. It’s not rocket science, listening to Limbaugh a few hours a week will give you the tools to handle it.
He was also responsible for the democrat win, as he not only would not support the man who beat him in the primary, he endorsed the democrat.
For that kind of traitorous, small souled conduct, the man deserved to lose and should be an outcast.
Did Lugar ever come out and endorse Mourdock? I guess he halfheartedly did so after dragging his feet. Did the moderates do all they could to get the Republican candidate elected? No.
Republicans need to face the facts. Moderates are generally not willing to back conservative candidates, and conservatives are finally fighting back. Moderate candidates can no longer count on our votes and take us for granted like they have for decades.
I have absolutely nothing in common with the Marxist left, aka Democrat Party, but I also have virtually nothing in common with moderate Republicans. I can’t accept their compromises when it means giving Democrats most of what they want.
We have to win elections. You’re right. But we have to win with people who will actually represent us. Lugar and Castle were Democrats in all but party affiliation. When the country is on the brink of failure, we can’t afford to go along to get along anymore.
Maybe we’ll lose more elections by contesting the moderate RINOs who are so eager to sell us out. So what? We been losing pretty well with them, haven’t we? If we don’t have the political power to push more conservatives across the finish line, we’re pretty much doomed anyway.
