That’s a part of the plan. Oh you betcha by golly.
So you support Cruz, and then vote for the people who are doing everything in their power to make sure he is neutered. And who also are doing everything in their power to make sure others like him don’t ever get nominated.
And you think that makes sense. McConnell will be far more of a roadblock for Cruz than Grimes ever could be. McConnell will ensure that he is isolated, never has any real power in the Senate, and that any potential ally will have to overcome the full weight of the Republican party.
If McConnell has his way, Cruz will end up accomplishing nothing, and will be a laughingstock, as the Republican party will join forces with the left in demonizing him.
Yet, you claim to be supporting him.
Horse Hillary. The DEM last name of Clayton I think who ran against Bob Corker last election was so for right of Corker the DEMs tried to get the guy booted off the party ticket after the primaries. The DEM party heads loved Bob Corker so much ran no supported opposition. Yes in fact sometimes voting DEM is the best choice. It's rare but it happens. I voted for the DEM for senate that time and I was right to do so. Clayton as a Conservative DEM in the senate even as a DEM would have been far better than See Saw Corker-R with a career long history of enabling DEMs.
“No conservative ever votes for a Democrat. Therefore anyone who advocates voting for a Democrat is not conservative.”
You’re partly right. But the establishment have controlled for years, the primary mechanisms. They have spoken just as you do “why, why don’t you guys get your guys nominated, then we’ll talk” then they undermine every effort to do so, literally drown conservatives in ads. Then if some conservatives actually get through (O’Donnell, Miller, Buck, etc.) they work to destroy them. And even if they get elected (Cruz, Paul, Lee), they work to destroy them, or co-opt them (Johnson, Ayotte, Rubio).
I’m done with the game. I don’t vote for democrats, but I have withheld my vote from worthless republicans. And in the cases of Kentucky or South Carolina, I WOULD vote for the democrat, to get these vile men from power. For the cause of conservatism would advance more without them. And the US Senate would be a more conservative body, if they were replaced even by democrats, because their constant and willful thwarting of conservative advance, and collusion with democrats, would be at an end.
I advocate the removal of Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham at all cost, by whomever can defeat them and free us from their odious and power-hungry actions.
You are a fool for doing so.
Personally, I’d ban anyone who openly supported the democrats like that. Lucky for you, this ain’t my website.
“The DEM last name of Clayton I think who ran against Bob Corker last election was so for right of Corker the DEMs tried to get the guy booted off the party ticket after the primaries.”
That’s fine and dandy, but McConnell has a lifetime ACU rating above 90%, while Grimey (as she prefers to be called) is as liberal as “Southern Democrat” Senators Hagan and Landrieu. Anyone who votes for 15% conservative (I’m being generous) Grimey over 90% conservative McConnell forfeits the right to call himself a conservative.
You got that right, but don’t try and tell that to the folks here that live and die by party affiliation. Party is above country and ideals to them (kinda like the dem’s). Our Constitution can wait a little bit longer whilst the GOPe are busy protecting the “party” first before the country. F’em all; I will live free. Bank on that.
His voting record doesn’t make him a leader though especially one who will fight Reid. Mitch as SML? No way. We need a Pit Bull. There has to be some strong opposition as to some bills ever seeing a vote. Mitch can have a perfect vote record and still stand down as far as a show down with Reid by allowing Reid to ram rod through bad bills. Yea Mitch can then vote against him retaining his ACU record but his voting record isn’t his real problem here. By his votes his voting record could look perfect but his leadership still stink. I don’t care if he stays in the senate. I do care if he stays as SML though.
Arguing that we need a more aggressive conservative as Senate Majority Leader (such as maybe Jeff Sessions or Ted Cruz) is far different from claiming that a vote for the liberal Grimey is a “conservative vote.” Oh, and making Grimey a Senator for 6 years (or 12, or maybe 18) will give the RATs a good chance of reclaiming the Senate in 2016.
“GOP Mutiny Could Unseat Boehner and McConnell as Party Leaders”?
Hell they ought be drawn and quartered not just unseated.
Worthless rino scum.
Our nation is at the point, where anyone elected who does not actively slam on the brakes and make a U-turn is worthless. We don't have the time for me-too 10% less RINOism. The result is the same, possibly with a slight delay. But no one knows exactly when the crash and collapse come.
So a vote for a RINO means what? how much? a possible delay?
Personally, I won't vote for anyone, who isn't for slamming on the brakes.
DO you live in KY?; If not, you can’t believe how vile and corrupt...
Mitch “Reid *itch” McConnell has become.

Then why in the heck do the good people of Kentucky keep reelecting him? Please.....anybody. It’s prolly just voting for the name they know; the only name they’ve heard for the last 30 years.
