Our Number 1 Goal: Retire Harry Reid For Good [TEA Party Express]

Our Number 1 Goal: Retire Harry Reid For Good

In 2014, we were successful in firing Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader. We had historic gains in picking up 8 seats in the U.S. Senate, but we still have a lot more work to do.

In 2016, Harry Reid is up for reelection and it's time that WE THE PEOPLE stand up and retire him from the Senate for good!

Harry Reid embodies everything that is wrong with Washington, D.C. He has long forgotten about his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and has made clear that he will always put Obama's liberal agenda above both his oath and the will of the people. Reid has spent the last 30 years in Washington, D.C., and it's time for him to come home to Las Vegas.

That's exactly why two days after the November 4th elections, we joined forces with fellow leaders in the conservative movement to hold a press conference on Harry Reid's home turf in Las Vegas to announce that our main goal in 2016 would be to finally retire Reid from the Senate once and for all!

TPNN also has an article on this:

Tea Party Express has BIG Announcement Regarding Harry Reid

Washington Times had an article on this on November 6th -- the date TEA Party Express joined with other conservative groups in Las Vegas...

Link to Washington Times article:

Tea party group set sights on Harry Reid: ‘Our focus is on retiring him’

You can always expect TEA Party and TEA Party Express to get a jump on the 2016 elections.

Time to send Harry Reid, the new MINORITY LEADER -- home for good in 2016.

Three keys to victory: first,unify early behind ONE conservative candidate, second vet the candidate carefully
and provide good coaching, third, have the candidate, his or her family and principle campaign staff members read Alinksy’s “Rules for Radicals.”

We could have retired Harry Reid for good in 2010 if TEA party "leaders" hadn't supported such an unelectable dolt as Sharon Angle to be the Republican nominee to face Harry Reid in the general election. I sure hope the TEA party learned a lesson. The other candidates running for the Republican nomination in 2010 were not RINO's and had a real shot at unseating Reid. We might have even gotten a Republican majority in the Senate sooner had the TEA party not supported other unelectable candidates against weak Democrats in Democrat leaning states.

I have a sliding scale for rating Republicans. I love Ted Cruz, but Cruz is not electable in all states. I think we need to elect more senators from consistently RED states that are like Ted Cruz. I really detest Lindsey Graham, especially since South Carolina could do better. I would be able to tolerate someone like Lindsey Graham if he were running in a marginal Republican leaning state or Democrat leaning state. Don't complain about RINO's from purple or light blue states when we have a considerable number of multi-term Democrats in the Senate representing states that consistently vote Republican in presidential races.

Be a nice scandal to catch him in bed with Pelosi but then again, that old and dry they’d probably start a fire.

How many elections have you won, using that formula?

that consistently vote Republican in presidential races.

But do they vote conservative? Because Republican doesn't mean conservative. Generally, it means somewhat less liberal.

The Dakotas and Montana are pretty damned conservative, but Republicans have never been able to sweep those seats. Also, why couldn’t Tester have been knocked off in Idaho in 2012?

Because most republicans aren't conservative.

Getting the GOP-E to quit attacking conservatives, supporting dems, and getting them to give money to the incumbent, even a conservative might help.

But I see the Republican party going the way of the Whigs, and I don't really care.

If they get conservative, they might survive, but the common wisdom of someone being 'too conservative for that area' is just BS.

In many many cases, a conservative has never been run.

Conservatism wins.

Liberal republicans don't, unless they lie and convince idiots to 'hold their noses'.

Romney was 'unlectable'. He wasn't elected. Liberal republicans don't win the presidency anymore.

And only loser liberals keep supporting a liberal republican that lost.

Voting for a liberal republican is throwing your vote away.

Bill Clinton is living proof there’s not such thing as a Democrat sex scandal.

All bets are off when Hillary is no longer considered a viable candidate.

You’re right.
I think she’s even more vulnerable to primary attack from the left than 2008.
Baraq’s comment about “new car smell” may be the tip off that the Chicago Mob is going to take down the Clinton Crime Family again.

Good question! I have not won any but I have worked on a good number of campaigns. I watched Rick Berg in ND (my former state rep) lose in part because his campaign did not
respond to Alinsky tactics.

Ignoring one's sacred oath, when you swear "so help me God," is not something that people should take lightly.

Interested to know why - read my tagline.

Yes. She will be raised up and will be shot down. And she will act as if she was never wounded.
