Didier's trying to sack Rossi's chance to beat Murray

The state Republican Party thought it had avoided problems faced by its brethren in other states, where Tea Party types took control and nominated candidates outside the mainstream that will have a tough time winning in November.

Washington state has a Top Two primary system; the two candidates who get the most votes move on, regardless of party. This blunts the potential of intra-party squabbles. In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat Patty Murray and Republican Dino Rossi made it through to the fall. In Rossi, Republicans think they have their best chance in a long time to unseat Murray.

Enter Clint Didier.

Hey Didier!

Screw your endorsement!

AND, any future political ambitions you may have dreamed about!

Someone needs to teach this guy that the loser doesn’t make the terms of victory.

Childish. Grow up, Didier.

What a dumass! If Dieder helps that dingbat in tennis shoes win reelection, he’ll have less credibility than the liberals he claims to oppose.

I’ve been listening to Seattle area conservative talk KVI 570 talk about this the last hour. The results are obvious - 20 to 1 of the Didier voters calling in have said they will be voting for Rossi, and like me, they find his arrogance and spoiled-brat attitude just appalling. All it does is give the liberal media material for weeks of anti-Rossi stories and op-ed topics, not to mention the Murray camp is busy writing their Rossi vs. the Tea Party ads at this very moment.

Rossi’s best move IMO is to totally ignore him and bump his campaign up a notch (or three).

The problem is if Rossi, a former state senator from King County, agrees to Didier's conditions he'll alienate the independent voters he'll need to win.

Well, this clown is going to lose by chasing after that mythical moderate voter.

Didier is right. Republicans need to have this fight and draw a sharp contrast with the left. Stop with the false premise that lower taxes, being pro-life, and reining in spending are extremist positions.

Rossi is an establishment milquetoast GOP hack who'll continue the same crap that caused Republicans to lose in the first place.

“Well,Politics ain’t everything, “

Patty Murray is the coveted 50th Senate seat. The Washington Senatorial election is everything. We won’t get another chance to turn that Senate over again for a long long time.

No. The imbecile voters of Washington state have thrown their future into the crapper by voting for liberals and a handful of RINOs for decades.

Rossi is irrelevant, as is politics now. In 6 years there won’t be a “dollar” or an economy. In fact, there is likely to be major social unrest of the kind seen in Greece. People need to choose sides now and prepare and quit worrying about political games.

Even if Didier had won and went on to beat Murray, it wouldn’t change what I think is now pretty much inevitable.

True enough, but as I wrote in a prior post I don’t think any of it matters. There will be no political fix, and wouldn’t be even if Didier had won. The economy and the dollar are going to be crushed because our general electorate is now incapable of being free. What we need to do is prepare for the inevitable times of trouble that are coming. It won’t be pleasant and the friends of liberty had better not compromise their principles.

I must confess I was torn between Rossi, someone I volunteered for his during his two runs for Governor – And Didier someone who inspired me with his no-nonsense answers to the political hot-button questions. I ended up casting my loyalty aside and voted for Didier.

This arrogance he is showing turns me off big time. I will be supporting Rossi like never before.

NO, who’s irrelevant are the 1 in 20 sour grape Didier followers who will be writing his name in.
