You and I are on the same page.
Sometimes, after reading a poster's comments wherein s/he brags about voting third party or staying at home, I check to see if the poster flys a state flag.
Seven out of ten times, those posters are from solid blue states or show no flag at all.
We need HUGE majorites --- not slim ones, and that means we elect moderates in the states and districts that will not elect conservatives.
It was upsetting here to lose Mike DeWine. He disappointed us the past two years, but he had an 80 lifetime ACU rating and supported judicial nominees. Yet we had some here cheering his defeat -- which meant the election of Sherrod Brown, lifetime 4 ACU ratings.
People like those that cheered the loss of DeWine and the Senate are not our allies. They are too petulant.
