For conservatives, the stakes in this election could hardly be higher. The course could not be more clear.
If...
...should have taught conservatives anything, it's that there are worse dangers to life, liberty, and property than returning Thad Cochran and Pat Roberts to the Senate.

Ok Mr. Schwimmer, please explain exactly HOW having a GOP Senate would have stopped anything on your ridiculous list.
Sec of State Kerry? How many GOP votes did he get to be confirmed? The vote was 94-3 you moron Gene. The 3 no votes were Ted Cruz, John Cornyn and Jim Inhofe; you know - those “purist” conservatives.
How would a GOP Senate have stopped Benghazi?
This guy’s article should be in the American Stinker.
BTTT!
As to Sonia Sotomayer, she got in 68-31 with 6 GOP Senators (including mine - that useless Lamar) voting AYE.
Most of those 6 also (five total) voted for Elena Kagan: Graham, Gregg, Snowe, Collings, Lugar. Lamar! this time voted NO. It was still 63-37.
...............Republicans must keep the House and win the Senate. Nothing else matters.
Wow, those are fighting words around here these days.
The RNC/GOP can't keep serving crap sandwiches and then try and guilt the customers for not supporting the restaurant. This election the Ruling Class has gotten almost every one of their candidates and the voters are not interested in voting for them. That's not the fault of the voters but of the drunks in charge of the RNC and the cowards in the Party that would not fight even if EVERYTHING was to their advantage.
All of those horrible things happened because the Republican Party, in its infinite wisdom, ran the feckless moron McCain and the socialist jackass Romney for President.
That is all.
No, no no. The NRSC, NR, WSJ, GOPe, MSM, etc. have all decided that if the Republicans fail to take the Senate with their anointed candidates it is the Tea Party's fault for sitting out.
So, if the GOPe wins, it's because of their superior intellect and politics.
But if the GOPe loses, it's your fault.
The SCOTUS is the focus; if Obola replaces one of the “less horrific” guys, it really is game over.
Same thing goes for 2016 - the RATS cannot win.
You don’t remember, I guess, that Jim Robinson also urged folks to vote for Romney once he won the primary.

The trouble with the all-or-none approach is that there is a chance we get the none. Some people gotta wake the hell up.
Uhmmmm, you don’t remember that JR came to his position very late and was, if I recall, not interested in Romney.
If JR and another friend hadn’t come to the same conclusion, for the same exact reasons, I would not have sent him money.
I want my $25 bucks back!
I live in California and while I voted it was never going to matter...
BTW, that was your response to my post?
You are way better than non-sequitors...
Gots to run to the bank...
be back later....
Earn my vote. If you can.
“I’m trying to figure out what exactly is going to change in the next two years if the GOP wins control of the Senate, and I’m drawing a huge blank on this one. “
Sadly, the same here. Mainly because conservatives tend to be straight shooters (in both senses of the word!). Sure - we don’t all get along all the time, or march in lock step. But we also are perfectly fine with leaving each other alone in most cases. I say most, because there are humdingers of fights when someone gets flicked on the raw, but most of the time it’s at the very least “listen to each other.” May not agree - but listening and thinking about what the others say seems to be reasonably well ingrained. It’s manners, if nothing else.
The Left don’t do that. Have you EVER managed to have a decent conversation about politics with a Leftist? I’m not talking about the old school Liberals here - we tend to have a fair amount of overlap between us. Unfortunately, they are hated by the Left even more than the Tea Party is!
The Leftists have been setting this up for several generations now. About the only way I can see to make any change at all is to tolerate the less squishy RINOs and take a leaf from the Left’s playbook - start local. Take the school boards. The town councils. The state legislatures. The legal and judicial systems.
It took at minimum 130 years to get to this state. Slowly and imperceptibly. Can’t be fixed by a single election, and you are correct that a GOP controlled Senate will show all the spine of a jellyfish next year.
It’s going to get a lot worse, before it gets better. No one is going to swoop in like Superman and save the country in a single bound. With maybe 3 exceptions (Cruz, Palin and (possibly) Walker) I can’t think of a single potential candidate for ‘16 that has the clear sight, guts and stubbornness to put the entire country before their pet projects. Even those three can’t do it alone - not until the culture itself changes.
Figure that’s our job. Change the culture. One mind at a time. One town at a time. One organization at a time.
Well, you did mention “shilling for Romney” so I just wondered if you considered JR a Romney shill also. So I guess we could just say that this was a “sequitor”, no?
That wuz petty of me.
sorry
McConnell - “”I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.””
But I get berated for suggesting that the Republican Party is losing because it doesn’t distinguish itself from the demonicrat party.
Your right of course, I was just stating the opinion of me a Conservative, the only opinion which will matter are of those you mentioned.
