I don't think we can run the risk of even one RINO being defeated in the Senate. Every vote for Mitch McConnell or whoever is running for Majority Leader is key. This could be a 50/50 tie...we at least want VP Cheney to decide it. If it's 51-49 the other way, he doesn't. Bad News...

It keeps me up at night or during the day depending on my schedule. You think we can't get anything done now, put Reid in charge of the Senate. Oh Boy!

Put your fears aside. Do what's right -- vote only for principled conservatives -- and leave the results to God.

If we vote for gun grabbing, baby killing, big government, high spending liberals (and compassionate conservatives) merely to hold the majority, are we any better than the libs who vote for gun grabbing, baby killing, big government, high spending liberals who do the same thing?

Can you blame the party elite and the politicians for ignoring our values if we are ready to ditch them to 'win'? If our values stop being valuable once the primary is over, were they worth anything to begin with? If we don't stand by our values, why should the people that we try to convince to come over to our side believe that we are sincere?

Principles, and sincere committment to them, will be what wins in the long run and will effect postive change. Selling out to the Party to 'win' or out of fear will only bring us more of the same old same old that we fight every election cycle.

Philosophy, not the 'Party', counts. The party only matters if they will advance that philosophy, not if they simply use it, and us, to hold power.
