The distinction simply can't go without saying.
It apparently made no difference to SW Missouri Republicans.
Instead of crying about how unfair and inconsistent the left is, why not cut a check for right-to-life or the NRA? Or show-up at a school board meeting? Etc.
Sadly, Kaslin, it looks like Mark Begich has gotten his second gift following the show trial against Ted Stevens. It seems like the establishment Republicans have successfully nominated a guy named Dan Sullivan (some of his ads up here came from Karl Rove’s political action committee). The Tea Party guy, Joe Miller, got 1/3 of the vote with practically no advertising whatsoever. So now I have a choice between Obama in White Face or the Establishment Guy. By the way, a lot of this is Miller’s fault, again - he blew it against Murkowski (who, to her credit, ran a masterful write-in campaign), and now he blew it against Begich. The rest of everyone doesn’t see it, but the agitprop from Begich that shows up on my Facebook page makes me grab the Pepto every time I read it.
O’Rourke was correct about American politics. There’s the evil party and the stupid party. And we’re on the stupid side. It looks like Begich just might win, even though just about no one likes him or his politics. *sigh* It reminds me of all those years following the Red Sox, and then Bucky Dent gets up to bat.
Wow, good point. By a mile. Not just among leaners and Independents. There was probably a significant number of conservatives who didn't show up because they figured the rest of the ticket must be RINOs Rove liked.
None, he still would have had a zero percent chance of winning if the “GOPe” had praised him, they tried to force him out because it was the the ONLY way to still win the seat, therefore it was the right move. HE deserves your enmity for refusing to step aside, selfish fellow, clinging to the fantasy he could still win.
MT has nearly always preferred Democrat senators, really since statehood. People there think a Democrat stands for “the common man.”
Bingo.
Stupid....Democrat stands for EVIL and WELFARE QUEENS and ILLEGAL ALIENS....oh, and GAY EVERYTHING! If that’s our new “common man” GOD HELP US!
Nope. The GOPe deserves your enmity for gifting the democrats with a seat.
