Be Careful What You Leave Democrats Alone to Vote For
AMERICAN THINKER ^ | 08 OCTOBER 2014 | Gene Schwimmer

Posted on 10/08/2014 4:47:27 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Will conservatives lose three elections in a row – three chances to win the Senate, three chances to stop Obama and the Democrats’ agenda, three chances to put Democratic senators up in 2016 on the hot seat by forcing them to vote on popular legislation that liberals oppose – because a cohort of die-hard conservative purists cannot bring themselves to choose between the lesser of two evils?

For conservatives, the stakes in this election could hardly be higher. The course could not be more clear.

Here we go again. Conservatives are supposed to cheerfully forget the fact that they've been ignored, spat on, targeted, and smeared by the very same GOP elites who are now begging for our votes and donations.

The GOPe cost us the 2012 election cycle, only Sarah Palin had a good year as she gave us our only Senate seat pickup in Nebraska, and Ted Cruz.

As Dan Akroyd would say, “Gene, you ignorant slut”.

The article sounds like a mom telling her daughter to stay in an abusive marriage because there are no better prospects out there.

Sorry Gene, I will not be an enabler.

The above bullet points detail what Obama has done in the past. What about the future?

None of those nominees were opposed by the GOP. The rest of those bullet points only found token opposition from the GOP. The GOP fully funded Obamacare.

See my tagline.

” ...because a cohort of die-hard conservative purists...”

Yeah, that is going to make conservatives rush out to support the Republican left, for sure.

If the Republican left put half as much energy into destroying Democrat candidates as they do conservatives, the GOP would seldom lose an election. The GOP loves to hate conservatives, but they will insult and whine them into voting for their losers. My advise to the GOP is that short of nominating a conservative, they should at least put up someone who wants to win. McCain and Romney were half-assed candidates who were afraid to run against Obama.

Anybody who believes Thad Cochran has ANY redeeming value is an idiot, a liar, a cheat and a thief, right along with him.

It simply doesn’t matter.

I do not care what happens to the GOP at all in any way.

America has some hard lessons to learn, and the fact of the matter is she may not survive those lessons.

So be it.

If the GOP wants to win elections, start by nominating candidates that
can win. And tell the American people what their vision for America is.
So far, there is no message, no vision, no plan other than Democrats bad,
Harry Reid evil.
And although that is correct, it is not enough.
Americans must have reasons to vote for, not just against.

Wow! I’m shocked that 10 posts went by without the “told ya so”, “if you had only voted for Romney”, “See!!! See!!! It’s all your fault you stupid conservative because by default you voted for Obama!” trolls jumping in....

When all the blame’s been cast we’re still down to two choices.

1) GOP, good and bad lumped together

2) Democrats, Harry Reid, and two more years of Obama to help him

That’s it, there is no #3.

I’m not voting for vermin who are just as worthy of the electric chair as Democrats are. So called “conservatives” who vote for Satan-lovers certainly deserve whatever ill fate awais them in the afterlife.

Well, since you asked.

That's right, Romney would be just as bad if not worse than the America Hating Community Rabble Rouser and Chief Racist, the Mulatto Marxist Obama.

Gotcha. LOL

not true at all. The responsibility lies with the candidate to convince me to vote for him. If the candidates don’t sway me that’s their fault not mine.

Hey, don’t upset the Keep Harry Reid in Power Fan Club Members. It’s good to keep Obama’s right hand man running the Senate. Didn’t you get the memo?

They’re busy blaming Romney for everything Obama is doing.

Here’s a newsflash. Republican Voters made Romney the Nominee, not some super secret Bush Family Cabal. People Voted and the other Candidates that many of us supported LOST, end of story.

That’s Politics. You convince the Electorate that your guy is the one or he goes home when the Votes are counted, period.

I backed Newt, but I failed to get enough people to support him, just as many here supported other Republican Candidates in the Primary but failed to help them win.

Who needs their Party in Power when we can accomplish so much more by complaining on an Internet Forum. The exercise in futility continues.

I always thought open primaries were why we got stuck with Juan and Mitt
