Vote Republican, Even If It Hurts

Should McDaniel vote for Cochran?

See my posts 14 and 23 on this thread for a review of Mississippi election law regarding Senate vacancies..

If people really expect Cochran to resign within a year, then it makes sense to vote FOR him so a special election would be called within 90 days. That would give McDaniel another shot at running, if he chooses to do so.

Voting for Childers means waiting 6 years to take the seat back from the Democrats.

This is an issue we can shove down their throats, despite the obvious cover the media will TRY to give them.

For 50 years they’ve been SCREAMING for “separation of church and state”.

We have 50 years of their whining, bellyaching, kvetching we can play back to them.

Come November 5th, if the RATS still control the Senate, just shut up.

See, here's the thing: JRandomFreeper isn't talking about Democrat/Republican control of the Senate, but liberty/liberal (more accurately statist) control.
His underlying argument, rephrased, is this: What good is it if I change (D) to (R) if the candidates are ideologically the same and neither represents me?

You have stated that you are part of the problem and would rather have the RATS in control than your ideal, perfect Conservative.

No, I don't believe that is the case.
Look at what the Republican party is promising: amnesty, no fighting against ObamaCare, etc.
Look at the things they could have enjoyed popular/"bipartisan" support from the electorate on: pursuing/punishing IRS targeting, pursuing/punishing NSA spying, and pursuing/punishing the IRS's asset forfeiture practices (though this would have to be publicized).

But what have they really done?

Johnny, I have agree with you on many occasions, but your position here, at this precarious point in our nation's history, a turning point where we can vote for a less-than perfect candidate and start to turn our nation away from socialist hell, cannot be justified.

How?!
How is electing people who have said that they want exactly the same things that the other guy wants going to change things away from that goal?
Your assertion here is completely unfounded.

We had our chance in the primary and didn't prevail. Okay, the GOPe screwed us. Now, we need to vote out the RATS next week, and then go after the GOPe between now and 2016.

Why!?
Why would you reward them with victory who, in your own words, screwed us?
It makes zero sense.

One enemy at a time, Johnny...unlike Sergeant York, we need to shoot the one closest to us first.

Wouldn't those closest to us be those enemies who are wearing the same uniform?

It’s not a single issue, but this is one issue I won’t compromise on as I believe that amnesty to the invaders is an act of Treason as defined by the Constitution.

I hear you.
It’s a sad state.

If that’s the case, then why not jump to rope and lampposts? — It would be a far more effective way to show the politicians that we are not amused and that they will be held to account for their treasons and other lawless behavior.

If they pass amnesty, and “both sides” indicate they want to, that may be the only way to get their attention.

Expediency has a place in some battles, but it is no substitute for strategy.

Now, since we seem incapable of electing the kind of leaders we want, there is no apparent strategy that I can discern. All of which aids me in placing all my faith in the One that Jesus called Our Father in Heaven.

When a leader who can unite most Americans emerges, I wonder what kind of person that will be. I wouldn't put my faith in any one American leader without seeing the fruit of his/her labors for a good long while.

This is some incremental progress! Let’s keep doing this over and over again!

Nixon

McCain

yes, but you’re gonna get an amnesty shoved up your ass by Obama that will make even the worst Republican plans look good. Then we’ll see how compromised you feel.

You can grow up and learn that or not. I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.

And do pray tell, how is that different from the Amnesty plans euphemistically called Comprehensive Immigration Reform that our so-called friends the GOP-E is going to foist on us even when the majority of the party does not want it?

voting for Childers

Those that advocate voting for Childers have no idea for what they are wishing. Cochran is despicable for his actions during the primary and his voting record is almost as liberal as a Kennedy Democrat but I can guarantee that Childers will make Cochran look like a far right Conservative. Childers ties and previous actions are a harbinger of what is in store if he is elected.

- a few years ago on a Free Republic sidebar poll - over 15% said they would vote for Hillary

- Trolls as Stealth FR members abound on FR and elsewhere

- Mark Levin and Glenn Beck ignore the fact that leaving Harry Reid in power of the US Senate - nothing will be done and tyrants will control the US Congress -

- vote as you wish or stay home

- just shut up for the next 2-4-6-8-12-14-16 etc. years

- unlike most people on FR I will always do fine and survive -

- So why don’t you call Ross Perot and beg him to run again or Warren Buffett who opposes the pipeline - because he makes money if oil is shipped by rail?

- “Purists” suffer because they demand perfection or they stay home -

- They have no right to complain when the left creams them and their famiies -

- Ron Paul sends out a nice cookbook - wowed -

- but Ron Paul cannot be elected to the Senate or to the Presidency

- results talk and BS walks

- go on and be crushed by the left - play that silly-ass game -

Bottom line - they did steal the nomination.

[antidisestablishment]

My belief is that our exceptional political success was based on the founders’ understanding of the depravity of mankind. Reducing the power of government was the key to controlling the government. I don’t hear any Republicans suggesting reducing the power of the beast, therefore they have become part of the problem.

God is still in control, but he is not a Republican. I fear that many worry more about temporal power while abandoning the very source of true power. An R beside one’s name does not assure moral clarity or personal integrity. We are lost as a nation without a great spiritual revival, and no political messiah will save us.

Really? The Republican amnesty is so much better than the Democrat amnesty that I'm supposed to forget that I'm opposed to amnesty?
That's asinine, ridiculous, and so incredibly dumb that I've got to wonder if you really do consider amnesty to be not a good thing or if you'll gulp it down at your Republican masters behest.

I can hear the chanting, you'd better start in too, otherwise you may be punished for missing out on your devotions:

Master Republican guide us. Master Republican teach us. Master Republican protect us. In your light we thrive. In your mercy we are sheltered. In your wisdom we are humbled. We live only to serve. Our lives are yours.

The Church that Jesus Christ Himself founded is flourishing sub rosa in China and other repressed nations. Most of that country’s staunchest believers in Christ are non-RCC.

Had to toss that in. Sorry.

Mark Levin and Glenn Beck ignore the fact that leaving Harry Reid in power of the US Senate - nothing will be done and tyrants will control the US Congress

Question: what will change by getting a Republican Senate, especially considering that they have rolled over for Harry Reid and the Democrats on every major issue.

vote as you wish or stay home
just shut up for the next 2-4-6-8-12-14-16 etc. years

I will vote for someone; I'm through holding my nose to vote. The last time I did that was McCain, and I wish I'd know more about his true character at the time so I wouldn't have.

unlike most people on FR I will always do fine and survive
So why don’t you call Ross Perot and beg him to run again or Warren Buffett who opposes the pipeline - because he makes money if oil is shipped by rail?

Wow — you must have actually worked to have missed the point:
There is no discernible difference in Republicans-as-a-party from Democrats-as-a-party — both are elite statists who have no problem exempting themselves from the laws they push on others.

“Purists” suffer because they demand perfection or they stay home

Who is demanding perfection!?
Seriously! Who!?

What I demand is that my Representatives represent me; it doesn't have to be perfect, but if there's a candidate who respects and honors the Constitution and wants to root out corruption in the government he's got my vote!

Is that too much to ask?

They have no right to complain when the left creams them and their families

Even if the left has an (R) next to their name? Or does voting (R) magically make the policies of the left a valid complaint to the voter?

[OneWingedShark]

Excellently stated.
