Vote Republican, Even If It Hurts

Should McDaniel vote for Cochran?

That is one of two situations across the country where a protest is appropriate - and McConnell is the other. If I were in Miss, I may not vote. If I were in Kentucky, I'd do it with significant nausea.

I’d be very happy to vote and get 70% - but it doesn’t work that way with RINOs

[RginTN]

Alright, how will the GOPe reward Conservatives who give them the majority...

[C. Edmund Wright]

Don't deny yourself the pleasure of seeing the dems wailing, finger pointing and making excuses on Wednesday morning

so so so true - and there's more to this than just some visceral pleasure. The liberal Democrat complex imploding will be a great teachable moment for everyone to see. At least some lo info's have been awakened in the past six years. This takes a confluence of events. This will be another one of those illustrative events if the results are bloody.

Fewer must be ignorant of the rise of UKIP, which has scared the poo out of Britain’s Tories. Conservatives simply stopped voting for Tories. It’s a blueprint for ousting our RINOs.

[Jacquerie]

It’s the only protest vote we have.

Yep.

And in two years we'll still have Obamacare, open borders, runaway EPA, an oppressive DOJ and HHS, law-by-decree, and we'll be told to vote for Jeb to save what remains of our nation from the Hildebeast.

Alright, how will the GOPe reward Conservatives who give them the majority...

Irrelevant non sequitur of a question: The GOPe will not "reward" conservatives - that's not how this works. May I suggest you quit personalizing everything. It is not about them being punished or you being rewarded. This is about the other team in this particular election.

If the margins are thin, the only reward will be the smack down of Harry Reid and an insult to Obama. But those are GOOD things! If the margins are big, then that means more conservatives will become part of the GOP caucus. Under Reagan, the party conservatives finally got enough clout to run the agenda.

No, I can’t think of my vote that way.

"Why did we lose in 2012?" asks the typical e-mail I get at least daily. "Because millions of delusional, self-defeating conservatives, who were disappointed by Romney, were AWOL on Election Day, they helped to re-elect the man who's destroying our Republic.'"

Except that after the final vote count Romney actually got more votes in 2012 than McCain got in 2008.

"A Republican Senate, working with a Republican House, will be a wrecking crew."

But what will they be wrecking? Many have already promised more amnesty pushings. Many are already waffling on whether they will try to end Obamacare or end funding for it.

I've been disappointed too often by the GOP to expect much from a Republican Congress. But the end of the beginning is better than the alternative—the unimpeded march toward the abyss of hope and change.

Voting for the same and expecting a different result ...

Had the conservatives actually done their 'revolt' of House leadership in January 2013 and replaced Boehner, they might have shown they mean business. Instead, they folded in good ole Republican style.

If even more 'tea party' conservatives vote for Boehner in January 2014, it will be more of the same and little for the conservatives.

Down the hall, will a majority leader McConnell be a yes man for Obama? You can bet his colleagues Graham, McCain, Alyotte, etc., will be pushing for amnesty, if Obama doesn't get it during the lame duck session.

“I’ve been disappointed too often by the GOP to expect much from a Republican Congress.”

And, Mr. Feder, you will continue to be disappointed with a RINO Congress AND a RINO Senate, should that come to pass.

[Savage Beast]

Right on, Knarf!

[TomGuy]

“Dingy Harry”must NOT return as Majority Leader in January!!!!!!!

Pubbies will be facing a short-term majority if they sink back into the status quo during the next 2 years.

In 2016, they will be defending about 24 Senate seats and the Dems will be defending 10.

Link to a list of the current Class III Senators.

The US is not a parliamentary system. Our two party system is not conducive to incremental change. Unless the majority of Republicans revolt, we are stuck plodding along toward Gomorrah. Given the numbers of those people even on FR who will vote straight R, the likelihood of change is next to nothing.

Two years until the end game. Keep your eye on the ball, Charlie. Party uber alles!

[KC_Conspirator]

This is a hilarious, but true article. Probably the only person I could not vote for (or as author puts it, has me running for the toilet bowl) is Thad Cochran.

[umgud]

My brother-in-law claims he is is pro-life, pro-2nd amendment,
very homo and islama phobic, is a fiscal conservative, hates Obama and what is happening to this country, blah, blah.......... but because he is a strong union member (actually a steward), he votes straight dem ticket.

[rrrod]

We will meet here after the election and discuss the results..but this time will be dif...the Rs will win the Senate but conservatives need to voice their outrage and disgust with the GOPe in a loud clear voice.

[OneWingedShark]

We, the rank and file control the nominating process. Romney was hated until perfectionist conservatives shot holes in every alternative candidate, one by one.

Apparently you forgot about retroactive rule changes in certain primaries to ensure Romney was the [s]elected candidate.
I certainly wouldn't call that control of the nominating process.

[Hoboken]

If a man knew a flood was coming but only had 70% of the sandbags he needed he should:

A. Pick up his shovel and fill the bags he has.

B. Demonstrate his indignation over his less-than optimal number of sandbags by staying home.

I know what I would do.

I’ve got neighbors just like that. They sent all four of their kids to Catholic school,she was a lector at our parish,he goes to daily Mass,but because he was a union sheet metal worker,they vote democrat straight down the line...insisting that things are always better with the democrats in charge. She actually insists that democrats best represent what the Founders stood for! I’m sure Washington,Adams,Jefferson and Franklin would be shocked to know they stood for abortion and men “marrying” men.....
