“A Republican majority won’t be enough. We need real conservatives with the balls to reverse this Obama nightmare. “
For the first time, it appears that we are poised to do both. To rid the Congress of both RATs and RINOs. We may not be successful in each instance, but you can bet that the RINOs are quietly crapping their pants as this is written. Further, even if Conservatives aren’t 100% successful, the 2014 elections are going to be a wakeup call for the remaining RINOs. getting functional control of both Houses has to be the primary goal, with getting control of the Party Leadership a close second. We need to be successful this year, because in 2016 Republicans will, for the first time, have more seats on the line in the Senate than the RATs.
I completely agree, but I think we actually have the chance for this in November, 2014. Here's my logic ...
I do believe that there is a core group of GOP Senators upon which to build this conservative majority of the GOP Senate ... The Nineteen: Voted With Senator Cruz Against Cloture On Funding 0bamacare
Add to that number from the following hoped for "upgrades" to these GOP seats who voted with the dems for cloture ...
Alexander (TN)
Chambliss (GA-retiring)
Cochran (MS)
Collins (ME)
Cornyn (TX)
Graham (SC)
Johanns (NE)
McConnell (KY)
and add to the core number from these "pick-up" seats from vulnerable dems ....
Begich (AK)
Pryor (AR)
Landrieu (LA)
Levin (MI-retiring)
Hagan (NC)
Johnson (SD-retiring)
Rockefeller (WV-retiring)
Udall (CO)
Walsh (from Baucus)(MT)
And you can get to an easy majority of the majority (26-28 total seats, or more) so that you can elect the new Majority Leader (CRUZ) and completely transform the U.S. Senate.
