Except when they actually have a chance at winning and scaring RINOs like you.
You don’t know @$^& if you’re calling me a RINO.
My point is that maybe they should encourage a few GOOD candidates to run if they’re going to derail a RINO. If the TPE believes O’Donnell and Angle were GOOD candidates, people like Harry Reid and Coons will keep going to Washington.
Your blindly referring to me as a RINO is just an ignorant statement.
“We’d be much better off with Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian.”
We’d be better off without RINO traitors who prefer Harry Reid to Sharron Angle.
Well, there you go again.
Assuming that I would vote for Harry Reid over Angle is just plain stupid. Given the choice, surely I would have supported Angle over Reid.
Let me simplify things a little for you. There are others out there that were far better suited to DEFEAT AND REMOVE Harry Reid from Washington. I believe there are plenty that could have defeated him that are as or more conservative than Angle. They weren’t there so why derail Sue Lowden or Danny Tarkanian?
Personally, I’d rather get 80% of what I want instead of 0%. With Harry Reid, I got 0%.
If you believe both Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian were RINOs, you might do a little research.
Personally, neither Angle or O’Donnell displayed the intellectual firepower to get elected. That’s why we have Reid and Coons.
Why not take your “opinion” over to the DummyUnderground, DailyKossakKids or Huff&PuffPost where it will be welcomed, appreciated and embraced.
Methinks you been smoking something other than corn cob silk and lost you way, troll!
Methinks you don’t have a clue.
Did the strategy work? The answer is “no.”
The TPE got deeply involved in three races — AK, NV, DE — and lost all three. Methinks it may be time to consider other strategies. Otherwise, we’ll keep sending folks like Reid and Coons to DC.
In reality “nothing happened” The old bar room stories just don’t sell like they once did,back to the bar boys.
What I do have a huge problem with is people like you telling all of us here that we shouldn’t ever support a candidate who is going to have a difficult time winning the election, no matter how much we might agree with her in principle.
You’re welcome to put your money anywhere you wish. However, I believe in putting my money where I believe I will get a return. Sort of like in the stock market, regardless of how I feel about a company, I am not going to put money on things that I don’t believe will give me a good return.
Personally, I believe O’Donnell and Angle are good people and we politically share most views. However, neither came across to me as the very electable.
If I am going to take down a RINO (and I have absolutely no problem doing this), I am going to do it with someone I believe can win.
And you’re welcome to spend your money any way you see fit. I, however, will do the same.
Delaware was a “double or nothing” situation, and we wound up with nothing. Castle would have voted the right way maybe 50% of the time. O’Donnell would have been a solid conservative vote. Instead Biden’s seat will be held for at least the next 6 years by another cookie-cutter liberal (predicted ACU score: 0).
I agree with everything you say.
I promised myself some time ago that I would no longer be pragmatic with my principles. I would rather wait for four years to attack that seat again than apologize for supporting a conservative Republican nominee for the position. She was the nominee after all.
Had Mike Castle won the primary, I would have supported him with obvious reservations, but I would have supported him in the absence of a better candidate.
