Conservatives will ALWAYS be to blame, so they can marginalize and "crush" us. But we're not going anywhere!
The premise of this piece is right on the money - but I think the author weakened the case with some bad examples. Perdue in Georgia and Brown in NH don’t really fit neatly into this argument, but the writer insisted on shoving them in there anyway.
Liberals are all the same. Obama blames Bush. The GOPe blames the conservatives. Liberals never accept blame for their defeat.
From the article:
“In recent cycles, Republicans have failed to lock down the competitive Senate races they need to win. That is the difference between being in the majority or minority. And both the Tea Party and the establishment are to blame.”
For what is the Tea Party to be blamed for?
I love how Karl Rogue spins. He was on OReilly last night and actually said, “Thom Tillis is one of the strongest GOP candidates.”
Lolz.
Tillis who can’t escape the high 30s in a red leaning state and is losing to the biggest Obama clone, Hagan, by avg of 5 points with only 6 weeks to go.
Yes that great candidate.
Of course Rove said a couple weeks back that Gillespie was running a “perfect” campaign in the very swingy state of Virginia. Only down 30. He’s finally dropped that line. You could have run a monkey in VA and it’d be no worse off than the Gillespie. How do you lose by 30 in a Republican friendly mid term in a a state Obama won by a single point, in a Dem friendly presidential year?
GOP Leadership....forget the squabble BS...and use the message, the money, the GOTV (Get Out the Vote) activity in overwhelming fashion!!! You fools are not getting any cash, including mine...because you are such weak sisters, when it comes to destroying the Obamabot, Democrat vermin!!!! Get a backbone....and give us a list of your top ten political priorities....if we take the Senate and House!!! Get with it, deadbeat GOPe!!!
I am saddened by the number of conservatives including Freepers who make this same argument.
voting for a RINO is a losing proposition
Wrong!
If the GOP wins, it will be because of the support of conservatives.
If the GOP loses, it will be because of the behavior of the GOP.
The most interesting race is McConnell in Kentucky. An avowed enemy of conservatives and the Tea Party. If enough of them vote for conservatives in the election, but DO NOT vote for either McConnell or Grimes, McConnell could lose.
Not only would conservatives be rid of the most oppressive, divisive, conservative agenda blocking, Democrat coddling Republican leadership liberal, but it would shake the GOP-e to its roots.
It would be like the Eric Cantor loss times 10.
It might very well tip the balance in the next Republican National Convention for a conservative presidential candidate instead of the only candidates, Romney and Bush, the GOP-e will currently allow to get the nomination.
The McConnell race is *that* important.
Other fallout would be that John Boehner would not be reelected as Speaker of the House, so that worm would be gone as well. The House would be in full conservative revolt.
And the last two years of the Obama administration would be effectively neutered. Thank heavens.
A conservative House and a more conservative senate would kick the pluperfect snot out of him. Sure, he could veto, but vast numbers of his toadies would no longer get any funding.
Appropriations bills would be divided, so that the scoundrels were segregated out and their agencies and departments left to die.
And it all rides on McConnell losing this election, because conservatives and Tea Party people refused to vote for him.
Buh-bah, turtle man.
Have you ever heard of a liberal taking responsibility for their actions? Just because they have an (R) in front of their names doesn’t change the fact the GOPE liberals will as you say blame us the conservatives or anything else under the sun, but it can NEVER EVER be their faults, that’s just not possible.
Losers, they don’t want to win.
Wouldn't it be just a hoot if Roberts squeaks out a win in KS, and the turtle loses in KY?
