In this case, the Democrats are the far better choice, because they cannot take out a knife and deliberately stab their own people in the back.
Better an enemy than a traitor.

Of course not all, but the GOP has a nice little cabal that swaps out as needed.
Good point. Plus, it sure seems that every time the Dems win an election, the response of the GOP is to move more and more leftward to try to attract independents. We might try to teach them a lesson, but the response is the absolute opposite of that lesson.
As long as we continue to vote for the Republican party, then there will be NO OPPOSITION PARTY in Washington.
The Tea Party or the Constitution party will have to emerge or kiss the USA we love good bye.
What the witter saying is nothing new.... We have been doing that for some time now and the country still continues to drift to the radical Left.
I’m sorry but vote for the lesser of the 2 evils no longer works for me.
This is because the Republican party, for the most part, are no different than the Democrats. They are completely compromised. Just look at the leadership and it tells conservatives EVERYTHING we need to know.
As far as I’m concerned. A vote for the Republican is a vote for a Democrat. I’m sorry but it must be said.
Despite the divisions of opinion appearing in this thread, there is clearly the unified recognition that establishment Republicans are a problem. We also agree our country is in grave danger unless we reverse the trend toward elitist rule, which is destroying the constitution and rule of law. While I think everyone here would prefer conservative leaders over Republican rulers, we cannot agree on the harm to the country if Democrats dominate both houses of congress and hold the presidency.
I have only suggested that the harm already done cannot be reversed without a revolution. Revolutions however, can be a bloody mess, including a bloodless revolution at the ballot box. The country is disintegrating and our difference is over the speed and whether slowing or not will make any difference. Those of us who will not vote GOPe are saying let the revolution begin in the Republican party because unless it can be reformed, there is no other alternative to save the country. The Democrat party is beyond reform and is the party of tyranny.
This election is our Lexington Bridge moment. Remember the colonists lost at Lexington Bridge but the idea of an independent and free nation did not die with that defeat. Our task at this moment is no less monumental than the task faced by the colonists to beat the most powerful military force on earth. We have over a century of bad law, bad judicial rulings and bad executive orders to sweep out completely or we are doomed to live as the subjects of a self-empowered ruling class.
The time is now, or never!
The guy who drives the truck has more "flexibility" to destroy that in his path - we opted to allow a maniac with a death wish for the Nation to retain power because we hated Mormons who had opinions we didn't like, and we ignored his other opinions that the Boy Scouts should be able to decide about homos w/o interference from the government and also that, whatever you thought about Romney Care, it was legal for a State but un-Constitutional and illegal as an Obama Care being foisted off on a Nation. Many of us are as deaf and blind to facts as the Dims when we really really want choices that are no longer available. Some folks understand the big-picture differences and other folks make excuses for allowing Obama have a second term and possibly allowing Hillary to cap it off.
I’d like to see a bunch of new senators like Ted Cruz take over with the next election. Kick dingy hairy to the curb, and impeach the pres - - ent and put his butt into Ft Leavenworth for the rest of his life. Then do as he promised and bomb the muslimes back to the 6th century.
Well the “cabal” voted unanimously against Ocare so those who say “there’s not a “dime’s worth of difference between the 2 parties” are cracked.
There is no deal. There is no going back. We know who the enemy is and we know what they are. We wold rather plunge the brain dead, no information voters in this country head first into the hell that is unbridled leftism than go with the soft route into socialism (GOPe). At least with the dive into hell we radicalize hundreds of thousands more folks, and as they become divested of the current "system" we get closer to burying the big government tyrants in this country... democrat and GOPe alike...
So... Thanks, but no thanks... the ONLY thing I want from the GOPe is unconditional surrender and expulsion. The ONLY thing the GOPe is going to get from me is contempt. They will NEVER get my vote... There is no scenario where that fact is altered... NOT ONE. So if these bastards want to prove they have the best interests of the country in mind they need to retire NOW. TODAY! effective this morning! But we both know that isnt going to happen, not even that bastard Thad Cochran will be forced into retirement by these bunch of low life statists...
In this case, the Democrats are the far better choice, because they cannot take out a knife and deliberately stab their own people in the back.
Better an enemy than a traitor.
The GOPe controlled house is putting gas in that truck.
at this point.. what difference does it make?
I see only 2 or 3 people in national government looking out for me. The rest, they are working for the other team.
They did what was needed to see that it passed. That’s all that was needed.
And the GOP has certainly seen to it that it remains in effect through funding.
Every election cycle people like you try to convince us that there is a dime’s worth of difference, but in practice there’s not.
I used to think that the one thing the GOP could do was keep the Supreme Court from being totally “progressive”.
But when Roberts sided with ObamaCare in June of 2012, that myth was blown to shreds.
Over the last 60 years the GOP has had the White House almost 60% of the time and has controlled Congress a significant portion of that time. Yet they haven’t made a real dent in the march to more progressiveness. In fact, some of the most egregious progressive legislation has been signed into law by Republican Presidents.
BTW, are you employed by the GOP or one of the organizations who owns or lobbies for the GOP?
You are making light of a very serious situation.
Cochran ran, and Mitch McConnell *PAID* for racist attack ads against the Reform candidate in Mississippi. They crossed the Rubicon. They did something so vile that they cannot be allowed to go back to business as usual.
We need to teach them that launching deliberate racist attacks against your primary opponents will get you fired. If we do not so teach them, we will see more racist attacks launched at reform candidates from our own side during the next election season two years hence.
This is bigger than control of the Senate.
I do not care if the Dems keep control of the Senate (we already have control of the house and we will keep it) because it's far more important to destroy vicious traitors than it is to worry about a body that won't govern conservative anyways even with a Republican Majority.
Most of those Republicans keep voting to confirm Obama's insane judicial nominees, and I expect them to keep doing so even if they win a slight edge in the Senate.
At the Current time a Republican Senate will be little distinguishable from a Democrat Senate.
Putting people like this in charge
Is worse than letting Reid keep the Senate. These people are attacking us from our own side. If they get away with it, they will do it again during the next elections in two years.
Any chance at reforming the government relies on defeating such people.
exactly. I see no real change of anything other than name plates should the GOPe get control of the senate.
Now, if they put Cruz in as majority leader, I will change my opinion. But they won’t. If McConjob is re-elected he will be in control.
It will be the SSDD with him in control.
Bush had the deficit down to 180 billion and then pelosi took over and it went the opposite way.
If you want progressive on steroids keep Reid in power. Obama will thank you from the bottom of his commie heart.
I'm sorry that you don't see that a Republican Senate with the current crowd will be little different from a Democrat Senate. They are mostly Democrat-lite anyway.
We can afford to put up with a Democrat Senate for two more years, but we cannot afford to let Republicrats get away with destroying the reform movement. If they are successful at using those Racist tactics against Tea Party Reformers, then any chance of reform is dead.
Better to lose a battle than to lose a war.
