Just a couple of question about what FReepers think would happen if McConnell, Graham or any of a bunch of the other GOPe politicians would do in the remainder of their terms if they were to lose their Primary Elections, especially if the lost to a TEA Party endorsed opponent.
a.) They would be ticked off and do what they could to take revenge on the people who 'threw them out'.
b.) They would start looking for a 'lobbyist' position so they could stay in D.C.
c.) They would do nothing for the rest of their term and just vote 'present' if they had to vote.
d.) Something completely off-the-wall and unexpected.
a AND b
They will have to go out and get real jobs.
Same as Murkowski; the GOP-E will use Fraud and every $$$$ trick in the book to get their HAND-PICKED RINO on top.
Pull a Murkowski and run as an independent.
If they do “A” then we who live in their districts know where they live. This is way beyond serious. Their treachery is treasonous.
e) all of the above
Switch parties, like they want to do anyway. or go Indy?
Interesting question, but always remember that t*rds must be flushed.
And flushed often.
They will run as independents.
He and the others will do what Arlen Specter did, and what John McCain is apparently doing since he says he’s in his last term: ally with the democrats against the conservatives for real. The masks will come off.
They would lame duck damage conservatives as much as possible and run as an independent or Rat in the general.
Answer: “e”
After their defeat those Rinos will join with McLame and officially announce membership in the Democrat Party.
We’ve seen the pattern for years now.
First, they tell you that you have to vote for their liberal, because they are the “only ones who can win.” Conservatives are, of course, “unelectable.”
If they are able to coerce enough naive, ignorant conservatives into electing their liberal in a primary, then total surrender and support by conservatives is expected, no matter what.
If they lose the primary, all bets are off. They pull all funding, for sure. They may well directly support the Democrat. But no matter what, they will do anything they can to make sure the conservative loses the general election.
Linda Graham will cry like a little girl.
become lobbyists which should be illegal for at least 10 years once one leaves elected office.
join with Obama saalaama in cancelling all future elections
Nope, like most of them he will just move into a lobbying firm and collect the big bucks while have all the privileges of a sitting Senator except for voting and and an office.
In fact the only state that seems immune to Potomac Fever is Colorado. By my count, there is at least 4 former Senators from Colorado living and working IN Colorado.
