The Tea Party needs to actually form a party and put up their own candidate. Going to Republicans for help is a waste of time. They all belong to the Fraternity.
Cross party alliances never work. Just look where there are open primaries.
Since no republican will ever, ever, EVER! challenge or run up against the existing leadership, the only answer is to remove them from power so that new leadership MUST take their places.
McConnell has been nothing short of pitiful. And Cornyn, the current whip has been just as bad. Both are up for re-election in 2014 and both need to be removed.
If the democrats want to conspire to remove McConnell, so be it. It’s common in warfare and politics and political warfare to remove the leaders of the other side so they will flail and be easliy conquered. The thing is, our leaders are flailing as it is so their removal can only be an improvement. I welcome any help to do it.
If McConnell’s smart, he’d announce his retirement. But he’s not so he won’t.
It’s a trap.
If anyone does primary him and win, they need to understand common sense and not try to redefine the word “rape.”
It’s a shame that some freepers are helping the rats
That’s like saying a healthy body and cancer have teamed up...
Primary’ing an old RINO is always going to be a risk. Whoever you run against him is bound to be relatively inexperienced as a candidate, and is going to make mistakes, maybe put his foot in his mouth from time to time. And, running against the Dem, be at a disadvantage.
You have to make up your mind that punishing the RINO is worth the risk that you may be giving the seat to the Dem. I figure its worth it, if the old RINO winds up giving the Dems what they want anyway, but with a GOP seal of approval. (I get tired of Dems defending their policies by saying, hey, the Repubs voted for it too... and they did...)
But thats the risk. You have to be prepared to back the conservative even when the press goes into overdrive mocking them, and the trolls turn up on FR to do the same.
I know people in KY are stupid, but I don’t think they are that stupid. Ashley Judd?
She’s even dumber than McConnell. Better looking with nicer boobs, but dumb all the same.
The salient point: if a Republican votes for the things the Dems want then this money won’t go to his challenger; if a Republican votes against the things the Dems want then there won’t be a conservative challenger.
McConnell will be the case that makes the point: Last session he did terrible. and conservatives wanted him primaried. But he’s going to do pretty good this session so the Dems will want him primaried but the conservatives won’t.
The Dems won’t help us primary or third-party RINOs for the same reason the Koch brothers and Crossroads don’t fund fiscally conservative, socially liberal third-party candidates in Dem districts: word gets out.
Yep. The dems are smart. Knockout a sure bet on the Republican side...McConnell...replace him with old out of touch so con rube. Let the media bait the trap with a rape question or any other question about woman’s sexuality. Let said so con rube take the bait. And VIOLA! Ashley Judd walks right in.
