It was setting up for anti-Palin RINO’s to say, “Palin can’t win in the general election.”
They wanted to check the surge of the true conservatives who are going to take over the Republican Party over the next few years.
I agree; just like they sunk some others. They don’t want to give up their gravy train.
Go Jim DeMint...
I hope he runs for President.
We need to target those rinos for defeat in the next election and ignore the balding oaf rove.Demint is the man of the hour and Palin is the woman.
Yes, they threw Christine under the bus big-time. Now I don’t care what anyone says about Christine, that she ran twice before and lost or was too conservative - the fact of the matter is that she won the primary election fair and square - that means you either get behind her regardless or you don’t run your mouth off about her behind her back to the liberal news media.
No prisoners. A conservative GOP or a dead one.
Back to the top.
Good for jim!
Still, considering how extremely well conservatives and Republicans both did this election, a week of recriminations is ridiculous!
yes.
karl rove, dana perino, and their ilk.
"Repeal and replace." Even DeMint is repeating the Romney/Brown meme.
Watch out, folks. We're dealing with people who think they can do socialism better than the Democrats.
When Romney or Brown say "repeal and replace," it is absolutely clear that this is the case.
One must wonder what DeMint means when he uses the exact same language.
Go Jim, go!!
I’ll never forget what they did to Joe Miller in Alaska. I’m liking Demint more ever day.
and what with the RNCC not helping a Renee Ellmers in Conn race. She also just happens to be a Tea Party candidate.
RNCC apparently not interested in recount.........so she’ll get “al franken’ized” in a blue state.
“Delaware Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell (R) “was so maligned from Republicans that she didn’t really have a chance,” DeMint added”
I agree, to an extent. When she beat Castle in the primary, she was the official GOP candidate for Senate. At that point, you support the candidate the voters of your party chose, whether you like them or not. Keep your concerns private and support the candidate in public.
But it is also fair to say O’Donnell wasn’t an ideal candidate, and was facing pretty long odds to begin with. Unlike Sharon Angle in Nevada, O’Donnell wasn’t a relative unknown. The voters had had their say on her twice before, and both times she was rejected by staggering margins. Add in the other factors (statements made in her youth, iffy finances, etc.) and you’ve got a pretty tough road to victory.
Make no mistake. The MSM will now tout ODonnell on TV as much as possible because they understand this. They will suggest she is just like Palin. They will suggest she does represent the GOP/Conservatives (when she does not).
Just goes to show that -R is not your friend.
It was my contention from the day after COD won the primary that her success or failure would be highly dependent on whether she could bring Mike Castle and his supporters on board. Obviously she was not successful in that endeavor.
And that had little to do with her quality as a candidate and everything to do with spite and ill will of Castle supporters and having their noses bent out of shape that upstart COD had the nerve to beat their man. Many of them didn’t have the decency to stay home but voted for Coons. End of story. Traitors.
