If the past is any guide …
Was it a “guide” in 2010, when the “shellacking” occurred, I wonder?

Well it’s up to the supposedly “fed up” conservatives in those places to show up.

We keep hearing about how sick they are of RINOs, then they need to put up or shut up.

I frankly no longer want to hear any people from those states whining about them if they keep these senators in office.

Yeah I noticed that too. But I’m fine with it, don’t want any leftist and/or RINO/Fed-backed groups coming here targetting us and messing things up. MS will handle it if we’re left alone.

“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky . . . . “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”

Somehow I didn't think I could detest McConnell any more. It's pathetic he can't muster a fraction of the same zeal when it comes to opposing the current administration.

Despite it’s popularity on this board the government shutdown was terrible strategy. Folks don’t pay politicians to shut down the government. It was a disaster when Newt did it and the same with Ted Cruz.

This article is intended to demoralize and motivate the tea party to give up. There’s actually good news when you see how many incumbents are under 50%. In runoff states, that’s the pathway to a tea party win.

-— It was a disaster when Newt did it and the same with Ted Cruz. -—

It’s not the “shut down” per se, its the media narrative. The Democrats could have just as easily be blamed.

Look at the hatchet job the media did on Sarah Palin.

Rather than modify our positions to mollify the media, we should stand our ground and wage war against the media.

Whatever they do, the media narrative will make them wrong.

A little anxious to bury the TEA Party, aren’t we? This wasn’t going to happen over-nite, just more conservative suppression intent.

Concerned, informed voters will be there. Plus the TEA party candidates will have the full support of ignorant Democrats supports who will cross party lines to do their best to get the candidates they hate most to run against.

This clap trap writeup has not one new nugget of information since February. It’s a rehash of what has been reported before several times by outlets that side with the GOPe.

“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who faces his own Tea Party challenge this year from Louisville businessman Matt Bevin. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”

$1,000 says you’re wrong, turtle-face.

I am hoping for some upset RINOs in the coming weeks.

That’s right. The MSM is out to destroy conservatives. The thing is not to play into their hands. Don’t shut down the government. And be prepared when the MSM asks you a no win question regarding woman’s sexuality.

It was a disaster when Newt did it and the same with Ted Cruz.

It only became a disaster when they backed down.

Don't look at the top of the ticket, but how the TP does at the lower levels.

The TP did very well in the Texas primary at the State level.

It is very difficult to remove a seating Senator, that isn't the criteria for success.

‘Seating’ should be ‘sitting’
