“If we don’t hold their feet to the fire on Tea Party principles, we’ll have an entire government of RINOs. Making them pay for abandoning us is the only way to ensure the amount of Tea Party folk in Congress continues to rise.”
I see. So you don’t think NH should even bother to have a Republican, unless it is a full fledged TP type.
NH is not likely to elect such an individual.
Full-fledged? There can be a difference of opinion here or there. I think Pat Toomey has veered a little of course on some issues but not enough for me to feel abandoned. But on the issue of voting with Ted Cruz on the CR, Toomey got it right. Fighting Barrycare is something every Republican should agree on at a bare minimum. And simply saying you hold the position doesn’t count if you’re too cowardly to fight for it even when the outcome is far from guaranteed.
NH DID think they elected a true conservative. Ayotte bare-*assed LIED in her campaign, embraced the support of Sara Palin, and the voters had high hopes for her. Not only is she a saboteur, she's dumb as a pile of rocks. Didn't she learn from the reaction Rubio got when he sold us out (with good intentions I believe) on immigration? Hasn't she noticed that Scott Brown in MA won as a conservative and lost because he was really a "compromiser"? Everyone on the thread is saying her primary competitor would've been just fine.
She's worse than having a democrat. She's a saboteur from within, a minimccain. She might be a kindergarterner in the playground of intellect, but that doesn't excuse her. She decided to be in the US Senate, she should get no better treatment than the other RINO liars. Dumb is not an excuse; she was smart enough to lie about her loyalties and intentions.
