This election and the one in 2016 are the most important ones in our lives
Nope. The GOP is punting until 2016. They’re already planning another preemptive surrender in the lame duck by fully funding the Obama agenda. Doing so would severely limit conservative options against Obama.
We’ll be in exactly the same spot in 2016 even if the Dems keep the Senate because a GOP lead by Boehner & McConnell simply has no interest in substantively opposing the Obama agenda.
Sitting the election out will also give victory to the left
That should read, the Democratic and Republican parties are...
Under republican leadership, the borders have remained wide open, government scope and size has ballooned, American middle class shrinking, government bailouts of crony capitalist continues, debt spiraled out of control.
I dunno, maybe I just see things differently than most. I just don't think the republican party has done Americans, particularly the middle class any favors over the last few decades.
In fact, partially under republican leadership, Americans have realized the largest shift of wealth in the world's history. I'm speaking of the outsourcing of good paying American jobs to Asia where child slave labor is common. Labor and environmental practices illegal here in the states, are also common practice in China.
Now, before you folks come chimin in, “Wa wa wa, dats why man-fakterin moved cuz too spensive here”, just like to remind y'all that I am not talking about healthy competitive capitalism here.
We have Chinamen jumpin out of manufacturing facility windows, folks sleeping on the line, unbelievable pollution of their water and air. Really crazy stuff not to mention the Chinese military gaining ground and exerting heavy handed influence around the world, particularly their immediate neighbors.
I am chastising this perverted globalist style of capitalism that throws mama from the train or sells out the national security of a nation for a $$buck$$. Hint hint...China
Democrats and Republicans sucked up campaign cash from multi-nationals in return for policy and egregiously lopsided trade deals that favored foreign interest and the lining of these crony capitalist pockets at the expense of American citizens.
Here is an example. No names, but the corporation I worked for does business in China through a front company. In other words, we cannot sell goods into China as an American entity, we must re-label our products under the name of a Chinese brand, otherwise we cannot do business.
So...what's wrong with that picture folks? They can sell billions upon billions in our country, yet we are squeezed in theirs. hmmmmm
Seems to me this all has happened under the leadership of BOTH parties.
Our government is out of control, pretty much on all levels. About the only thing DC could do is stop the stuff that will make it impossible for some areas to recover when it all comes tumbling down. What's left of the US will NEVER recover, even on local levels if we're over-run by hordes of the global under-class, Ebola and other 3rd world diseases take hold, our medical care deteriorates further, our education system stays bizarre and ineffective, terrorism and civil unrest become the norm, we don't bring jobs back that develop survival skills, the middle class doesn't rebound,....
The Republicans will probably stop some of the deliberate stuff. But I don't see the current DC crowd having the vision, intelligence, or integrity to save the US.
Yes, I'm voting 'pub, but I'd never vote for Cochran if I were in MI. That's proof positive how disgusting the party we have no choice but support has become.
well, he was a 1/3 Senator from MA, serving for 2 years.
Here is a chance to lock out a ‘Rat from what otherwise would be a slot they’d have for 6 years.
From MA, the best at the moment to wish for is an R (RINO) winning a special election for Sinate. There are just too many drones and zombies that vote in general elections here.
Sitting the election out will also give victory to the left
GOP support to fund the Obama agenda in the lame duck will be a victory for the left.
Does Obama need Reid if McConnell will roll over for him?
“After the election is over, and after the Republicans have taken the Senate, and after not much still changes, some of us will remember the FR posters who asked that all conservative FReepers sell out to the Republican Party...again.”
and what are we putting up as an alternative?
Sitting at home and complaining? Ranting on about Civil War 2 or some other fantasy of secession?
Because this “plan” of wiping out the GOP, and hoping that Democrats running the entire government will be so bad that people will flock to some completely non-existent Conservative Party, isnt going to happen seeing how incompetent conservatives have been during this past primary season.
I acknowledged that in my post, and then explained that a GOPe victory is also a victory for the left.
Just like a bad day of fishing eats a good day at work, a bad Republican beats a good Democrat (even if there were any)every time. Why? Because even the most notorious rhino supports conservative causes SOME of the time, whereas Democrats are always monolithic in their vote. First, you get rid of the fire that is burning down your house. Then, after you’ve put out the fire, you exterminate the house. It does no good to exterminate a burning house.
Many times in the past 50 years I’ve voted for republican candidates I’ve not been comfortable and if I were in any other state than Mississippi I would probably do it again but I’m not going to vote for “our turd” because he doesn’t smell as bad as the “democrats turd” this year. I’m writing Chris McDaniel. Yes, I know it won’t be counted.
DO NOT SUPPORT MITCH OR THAD!!!
Mitch declared “war” on “tea party types” and supported Thad in his partnership with democrats to steal an election through vote fraud from a “tea party” type who had already beat him in the primary.
If you support these two F’ers then YOU are part of the problem! Let them LOSE! MAKE them LOSE! The senate can be taken without them and even if it cant, what good would it do to have one of these Aholes in charge of it?
Sorry man. NO MORE! Rats are rats... be they in the democrat party or the republican party.
Well at least he’s not third party
I have been preaching this mantra for over six years. This election is it!!! We either throw out all the Demcorats, or....we throw away our once great nation!!! End of story!!!
hahaha. Meaningless. I don’t care who takes the Senate next week. It means nothing. Long term is the issue and as long as we keep electing “they stink” then Conservatism dies in the long run.
We’ve been voting for them even though “they stink” for awhile now and what exactly has it gotten us? It has pushed us to the brink of extinction with NO demographic preferring Conservatives but ours.
Myopic in the extreme.
we have many surrender ONE battle to forfeit the war philosophers.
If ANYONE wants to give the conservative caucus a fighting chance we have to have a majority, PERIOD.
Politics is compromise.
That wasn’t directed at you, just in general to all the “purists” out there that happen to read my post.
