This article does a good job of explaining why conservatives are supporting the Democrats and Harry Reid this year. This is retribution, pure and simple. They want Republicans to lose and they don’t care about the consequences. This has everything to do with emotion and very little to do with the execution of a winning political strategy. It’s gotten personal and conservatives want to get even far more than they want to advance political power for conservatism.

Centurion, as Commander of the FR GOPe Kneepad Brigade, I was wondering how long it would take for you to show up and poh-pooh at this thread. Thanks for not dissappointing.

Retribution? Making it personal? Calling your base racist and kooks? Punching them in the nose? And it’ s the conservatives who made this personal?

Does the gope pay you to carry their water or do you do your apology rants for free?

This is all on the gope and their “conservative” apologist.

The GOPE is in an all-out war AGAINST conservatives, and we are supposed to vote for them? The GOP is suppressing its own vote this year

You argue like a lefty -- disparaging the character and motivation of those opposing the RINOcrats, while offering no actual arguments in defense of your own indefensible position.

You deliberately refuse to recognize and address specific arguments of which I know you have been made aware (since I have brought them to your attention in other threads), and yet you continue attack what you inaccurately describe as our motives because you really have no rational arguments to make to advance your own proven failure of a position.

Meanwhile, even now the Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.

And then there’s John McCain saying what will happen if the Republicans win the Senate: “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”

And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me

So tell me again how much better off we'll be voting for the RINOs.

"conservatives want to get even far more than they want to advance political power for conservatism"

You are proposing that electing the GOPe candidate will "advance political power for conservatism"? Wow! All I can say is that objective opinions vary significantly! The sheer cognitive dissonance that proposal engenders is crippling.

Four words for you and all GOPe sisterhood should be hearing a lot: “Payback is a bitch”

Centurion shakes his finger at we children, berating us: This has everything to do with emotion and very little to do with the execution of a winning political strategy.

Voting for someone so low as to lie to black Democrats (Cochran) and get them to vote illegally in a primary is "winning political strategy"? Voting for a presidential candidate, Romney, who was philosophically on board with Democrats on every major issue from abortion and nationalized health care to environmentalism and the gay agenda, when you seek to OPPOSE the Democrats on those issues, is "winning political strategy"?

Retribution, revenge, getting even -- they are your own fantasies. Me, I'm a Christian who is mindful that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that revenge or "getting even" is bad behavior in His eyes, so I resist the temptation. Instead, I will vote FOR a winning strategy when I see one. Your Republican strategy is a losing one -- I should know, as I was stupid enough to vote your way for many decades, only to see the Republican party drift ever and ever leftward -- because I was confusing intent (voting "against" the Democrat) with action (voting for a statist leftist registered as a Republican). I have woken up.

You are still slumbering.
