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.
Either start up their own political consulting and lobbying firms or get a cushy job with an established firm on K Street. It’s what they all do.
They will attack the republican who beat them in the primary. Meanwhile, the GOP will pull ALL funding because they will assume the race is lost. If the Tea Party candidate wins the general election, the GOP-E will run a well-funded candidate in the next primary.
That is how it ALWAYS turns out.
you would see the Lame Duck Session from Hell IMO.
There is that. They will become lobbyists and lobby against the American people and the Constitution. Why not? They didn’t give a hoot about it when they were in office.

Yeah, I’m afraid you’re probably right on that one. I would expect the UN. Treaty to pass handily at that point.
(a) and (b) are the top choices. Bob Bennett did an (a) to try to prevent the election of Mike Lee. It didn’t work out so well. (b) is the safer option.
The big money from special interests is important.
If they stay out of supporting the candidates who beat the RINO’s then we know a real conservative won the primary.
Maybe the Murkowski option of having a third party RINO to drain votes from the conservative in a general election exists.
They’ve done that in the past like Virginia when Oliver North was the GOP Senate candidate.
The basic conflict is between those who want Liberty and those who want Totalitarianism.
For over a century various names have been applied by the advocates of Totalitarianism to their groups such as “Progressive,” “Socialist,” and “Communist.”
All such names are based on the King-Slave Style of governance.
The last King-Slave System practiced in America was the Plantation System which ended in a horrific Civil War, and consequences that we are still recovering from today.
Currently, the King-Slave Model has been sold to America as a “Safety Net,” and eagerly embraced by the “47 % “ who pay no person homage to their King.
The 53 % are being led by Republicans who are afraid of EFFECTIVELY opposing the King.
Hence, we have a watershed position in time rapidly approaching where we, the 53 % who pay our personal Federal Income Taxes, must choose between changing the Leaders of the Republican Party, or continue to financially support these same cowardly “leaders.”
Partial Government control is Socialism.
There is partial Liberty with Socialism.
Total Government control is Communism.
There is no Liberty with Communism.
Conservatives are dedicated to conserving Liberty.
The Federal politicians who support whole or partial Government control are either Socialists or Communists.
Conservatives should not donate money or time to these Socialists or Communists.
Will you LEAD, follow, or get out of the way?
Our sorry Democrats and RINOs in Congress have chosen to follow as America continues to not oppose “The Man” in “The Big House” at 1600 Plantation Avenue, in the District of Corruption.
What say all of you?
Snitch sent a mailer out about Bevins which about claimed Bevins was the devil incarnate. My Mom was buying it all before I told her Snitch was just upset someone finally called him out for the big lib. he really is. It will get nastier before this race is over. And Snitch will run as an independent and lose. And cost Bevins any chance of winning.
