Traitors are always worse.

One hand with Obama and his agenda, the other directing efforts to discredit the right(the constitution).

Work to get somebody else nominated Senate majority leader if the turtle wins.

I guess you didn't learn anything from the Virginia gubernatorial election or the primaries in Kentucky and Mississippi. That don't work.

So far...it is working out “well” in that more people than ever are armed, people are getting fed up with LIB asshats and more people are becoming active in their resistance. mitt wasn’t the answer...he would have only made it difficult to identify the enemy of civilization and freedom. Sacrifices must be made. “Enjoy” the suffering...it may prove to provide effective remedies. Time will tell who is correct. Enjoy the ride.

Mitch is a bumbling idiot. How does congress battle a tyrannical executive branch without the power of the purse? Fool.

Mitch doesn't want to battle a tyrannical executive.

O’bastard and Reid are why we are in this mess. Courts packed full of Marxist RAT judges will last far longer than the turtle, and do more damage.

You do need to get their attention. That is why it is important that you understand how to stack a particular address for a particular audience. Properly done, a speaker can actually build on the residual TV audience, coming out of the previous program. But the 30 second sound-bite is largely a waste of time. It simply will not change anyone's previous opinion.

In the linked article, previously offered (How To Respond To Anti-American Lies In An Election), I discuss, briefly--without writing a 28 minute script for a 30 minute broadcast (the concept works much better if it is not written in advance, if the speaker can do it right)--ways to stack a TV argument.

What I am discussing, here, is the difference between a Ted Cruz approach and a Karl Rove approach. Cruz would never have gotten elected, if he couldn't get people to take an interest in what you refer to as a "debating competition." The candidate who relies on sound-bites will never overcome the media driven bias for what is seen as politically correct; will never change a listener's previous bias on any complex issue.

That has nothing to do with who is majority leader if Republicans take the Senate, nothing says it has to be the turtle.

Who would be so naive to think that Mitch wouldn't approve Obama's Marxist appointments?

The red herrings are starting to smell.

If we control the senate the rest of the Republicans can put pressure on the majority leader to do the right thing, they are powerless to influence Reid on anything.

Mitch only listens to his supporters like you. Conservatives are excluded from any conversations. Have you been paying attention?

Do you actually think that the good ol' boy Senate Republicans will ditch Mitch if he wins re-election?

Are you that clueless?

But Harry Reid will win! Blah-blah-blah...

Anxiously awaiting the FRGOPE gang telling us he really didn’t mean it that way. He’s one of us! This is what they are defending, cheese eating surrender monkeys who make the French look manly. Paging the GOPE spear catchers!

Takes me back to the McConnell add talking about how he is going to stop obama when he is majority leader, why he might even shut the government down if he has too! PS to this add, “nor not”.

Hardly, the state run media would make sure the blame went anywhere but on the general secretary.

Dear God we have these buffoons in charge when the world and country is in a shambles. Neither party is worth pissing on.

That is all you have to offer as a defender of the GOPE, he’s not as bad as Grimes or Reid? That’s it?

Wow sign me up for the Conservative face puncher! NOT.

If all you have is vote for us we are screwed up but not as bad as the democrats get ready for minority status in perpetuity.

This statement by McConnell effectively destroys the only reason the GOPE is giving to vote for them, that being that if they have control of Congress they will stop obama.

McConnell has just told you that he will not shut the government down. If McConnell and the GOPE cringe at the thought of a government shutdown and vow categorically they will not shut the government down do you honestly believe they will impeach obama? HAHAHAHAHA!!!

This blunder pretty much leaves vote for us we are not as bad as the democrats as the only argument the GOPE has left.
