Would it help if President Bush campaigned with the Republican Senate candidates?
The democrats might even offer to pay his travel expenses,
if Mr. Rove is a little short of cash.

I don’t see a difference between the Senate being held by the Democrat Party or the ‘We’re Better Democrats than the Democrats’ Party.
Will a Republican Senate block a Supreme Court nominee? They didn’t even blink as the nuclear option was crammed down their throat. Some ‘gang of X’ will ensure whatever communist is nominated.
Will they pass a conservative budget and hold the line on a veto. Not hardly. It’s those damned conservatives that want to use the powers that congress holds to force a showdown. The Senate is a club and we want to just get along...
Will a Republican Senate hold the pResident accountable for his illegal executive fiats? Of course not.
Will they hold the line on immigration? Those damned conservatives (and most other Americans, too, but that doesn’t matter) are the obstacle to Republicans being as progressive as they know they want to be on this issue.
Gay marriage? Well, that’s already a fait accompli and you should really get over it.
I don’t see any daylight between the parties. I don’t see how McConnell is one bit better than Reid. I do, however, see that rewarding McConnell with majority status teaches the BDTD Party that their base doesn’t matter. I believe it more important to rub in the message that they can’t win without their base than it is to allow a changing of the drapes with no change in policy.
So. I get probably 10 solicitations a day to help take back the Senate. By phone. By mail. By email. See. I DO have a history of supporting candidates, and the various donor lists know it.
Until someone can show me it’s in the interest of conservatives to tow the party line, I’ll continue to ignore every solicitation. Nothing in this article changes my mind. I share the writers concerns about the Democrats holding the Senate. I just believe the same exact concerns exist if the ‘Better Dems than Dems’ Party takes over.
So all that to say this: the squishes can go to hell.
GReat post....Should that go into breaking news? Now go hide your head in the sand since you are part of the problem not the solution.
Wow. That is a really compelling “blame the voter” piece. LOL.
Accusations are a dime a dozen. Solutions however... are a lot harder to come by.Got any?
News Flash!!! The Tea party is not a party. Stop pouting because the tea party candidate did not win. Sitting at home or voting for a third party candidate only guaranteed that dingy Harry Reid remains the Majority leader of the Rat party. Do you want that?
That’s what you get for acting like Democrats and spending money to take on the Tea Party. Screw you to the author.
Conservatives’ fault.
Unless these indignant “pure” conservative voters want to gather by the millions with real pitchforks (and at that point I’d be happy to join up) and throw all the bums out, they should stop with the tougher-than-you talk, hold their noses and vote for the best choice. If they voted for Romney last time, we would be in better shape today. There’s no question. What did they accomplish last time by not voting for Romney? Somebody tell me, because these pols are not learning anything from it, and guess what? The tea party folks who get elected become corrupted just like everyone else in our suffocating, money-hungry DC cesspool.
Wow with an election strategy like that how can the country lose? Brilliant plan-—don’t vote.JUst another 100 per center crybabying because no one is actually 100%. Let me know if you find one.
Just so. But then, us conservatives is dumb, see, and can't remember what he said back when he thought the GOP had the Senate in the bag. Now he needs us back!
Maybe we should make Rove “an offer he can’t refuse”.
And your plan to right these wrongs is?
crickets....
Complaints are a dime a dozen.....
If that happens it will just confirm how many ignorant and stupid voters live in America.
Very true. The "I would rather see Harry Reid running the Senate than vote for any RINO" crowd is very vocal around here.
Sad to see. The article is, I'm afraid, predicting the future. And it's a Harry Reid future.
This election is going to have a huge influence on the makeup of a Supreme Court that we will have to live with for decades. How short sided it is to keep the Dems in power to put whatever Marxist they choose to fill the upcoming vacancies. What foolishness.
Oh, me being a dumb conservative, I fergot to add: Hey, Derek, kiss my grits!
Yes, shame on us frogs. We just now realized that the water we are in is a pot that is boiling.
The GOPe has boiled us and we have no place to go
As a Republican, one is either Conservative or one is Democrat. I don’t vote for or in any way support a Democrat even if he calls himself a Republican. The Republican candidate here says all the right things and claims to be Conservative. He says he will support Boehner. I will not vote for a House member this year.
The Republican establishment told conservatives that they were going to be “crushed,” in McConnell’s own words. Thad Cochran is Exhibit A of how the GOPe cheated to defeat a conservative candidate in MS.
Now polls show that those hated conservative voters may stay home on election day and the GOPe is hauling out their scary specter of Harry Reid continuing as Majority Leader. Too bad, so sad. If they lose, the GOPe won’t get to negotiate their Illegal Alien Amnesty plan with the Democrats to favor their Chamber of Commerce cronies.
The GOP has no principles and deserves to lose.
What they really want more than anything is your money. How many times in the past few days have their been articles and tv commentary about how the conservative wing isn't donating to the cause? The establishment is the enemy of conservative principles. They only look to us when they want something, and they we are put back in the closet.
