The conclusions follow from the numbers. Running RINOs does NOT work as well as running and supporting conservatives -- note the number of times *establishment* candidates backstab and refuse to support the conservatives who have primaried them, e.g. Murkowski in Alaska, or to fail to support conservatism in general, from Gingrich's attitude regarding Scozzafava in NY district 23, or Coleman's not pushing for a recount in the Franken election in Minnesota, despite the after-the-fact review showing that there were more votes cast by felons than the initial vote discrepancy...
And somehow I knew you'd jam Sarah Palin into the discussion. Weren't you one of those fanatics that were sure she was going to run in 2012 even when it was obvious she wasn't?
Sarah Palin helped a lot in 2010 even though she had been shamefully treated during and after the campaign -- remember the spurious lawsuits (such as her *legal defense fund* being declared "illegal" ??) -- and she still was of great value in 2010.
Which, despite your attempts to move to the goalposts when it suits you, was the election cycle originally under question.
Nice try at ad hoc ex post facto ad hominem, troll-boy. I didn't know you had that much latin in you.
Cheers!
No, your conclusions are stupid - and pretty much what I've come to expect from you. You mix apples and oranges, years when we already held the House versus years we didn't, presidential and off year cycles. I'm trying to do you a favor when I say this, you're just not very politically bright and you make a fool of yourself regularly. In light of this, you should really think through and understand the discussion before you shoot off your mouth.
I remember your Sarah Palin infatuation. You were wrong again about that too. I recall you were one of those fanatics that refused to accept she wasn't going to run in 2012 - even when it was completely obvious she was going to stick to her TV gig. You were so politically blind you made a complete idiot of yourself - just like you are doing now.
My original point is correct and stands. 2010 was NOT a throw all the bums from both parties out election - it was a throw the Democrats out election.
