I’m all for a battle royale for the soul of the Republican Party, but not until AFTER the Democrats are vanquished. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yeah; right! It's always: "Go ahead and vote for low-life scumbags like Thad Cochran and Mitch McConnell, people who hate you and think you're an idiot, we'll get 'em next time." I'd like to ask the author of this Article how that's been working for him for the last 3 Decades. It hasn't been working for anyone else.

Take it up with Washington and the boys a couple hundred years ago. They told us to vote for what we believe in. You might also look up their stance on party politics.

[Alas Babylon!]

Worth repeating!

Go ahead and post that on the Sunday thread, Rod!

So staying home or voting third party is your suggestion? *rme*

News Flash!!! Staying home or voting third party is a guaranty vote for the rats

“I haven’t voted since 2004.”

May I ask why you waste your time hanging out on a political website?

Your definition of Low life scum bags is exponentially over the top

The rhino hunters here on Free Republic who hate and want to punish the iRepublicans for their perceived ideological impurity reminds me of the Spanish Civil War where the communists and anarchists on the Republican side spent more time in fighting and killing each other which made Franco the winner.

We are in a war for the direction of the country and so far, our side is getting it's collective butts kicked.

We need to close ranks and win the war because a vote for any Democrat is a vote for Harry Reid and Obama as these two are 100% in control of the Democrat Party. The only way to stop them is to oust Harry Reid and get enough of a working majority in the Senate that power hungry guys like McCain can't form their Gangs of Eight to act as swing vote blocks and spoilers.

After we have won, we can work on purging any Republican needs purging.

First we have to win the war.

Anything else is simply blue on blue fratricide that lets the enemy win an undeserved victory

"Honestly, what’s the point of voting for a candidate who agrees with you a majority of the time? Don’t vote. Let someone who you agree with on nothing win, and then next time – in six years – that person comes up for reelection, maybe the Republican Party will come to its senses and let you get your way."

I guess the effort to crawl from under the rock is just much of a burden

RINO hunting season is primary season. Don’t hunt RINOs out of season. But, come primary time, take your bag limit.

[Carl Vehse]

Let’s be GIGA-OPTIMISTIC and say that the November elections result in both Senate and House having more than 68 percent Republican.

Even with such Gigaoptimism, Traitorobamacare would still not be overturn, much less Traitorobama be impeached and convicted.

[JimRed]

If you don’t vote for the more conservative candidate you are sending a message.

And in just about every case the Republican candidate will be the more conservative of the two. Go full out no exceptions conservative in the primaries, but be sure that the RAT is defeated in the general. If we don't own it, we can't FIX it! A third party vote will regrettably ensure a RAT win.

[Norm Lenhart]

So you mean a third party vote is counted for a Dem? You have a responsibility to report that election fraud to the people handling election fraud otherwise you are complicit in the crime Right?

And the two I mentioned above will never run in another Election. There won't be a "next time". This is their "Swan Song" and we're stuck with them for another 6 years unless they die before then.

[Timber Rattler]

Hope they enjoy 2 more years of Reid.

So what's the difference between McConnell and Reid?

[jonathonandjennifer]

The way I’ve explained it to my husband,who feels the same way as the author of the article, is when the dam is bursting you don’t look around for the perfect material to fix it. You fix it with what you’ve got, and worry about the right material later.

[muir_redwoods]

Name me a republican senator potentially as bad as Harry Reid.

[eyedigress]

Well, thanks for nothing.

Keep up the good work.

I’ve been saying this on this web site in one form or another for at least 10 years. Over the past 2-3 years I have been leaning toward believing that a healthy percentage of the “purists” on this web sit are democratic trolls. The gradual slide into irreversible socialism has been like the proverbial frog in a frying pan that doesn’t realize the pan is hot until too late. It probably is too late for us now, but we have to continue to put a good fight to the end. Can you bring yourself to vote for effing Romney or McCain next time? Just maybe?

[Norm Lenhart]

Just more of the political cowardice that created the GOP of today.
