“But tell me where I’m wrong, is he worth sacrificing a majority in 2014, losing our chance to give our conservative senators a voice?”
Yes you are wrong and that’s what a lot of seasoned and wise Freepers on this forum have been trying to point out, not just to you but others lurking who are novices like you.
A GOP Senate does nothing for its conservative members if its leadership is in bed with the same power brokers that control the other party.
The power brokers are those that control lobbying law firms, unions and corporate interests that share in the DC gravy train. These lusters of power will get what they want whether they have to buy it, extort it, step on innocents or murder for it. It’s their arena of power.
Throwing out their attack dogs allows our conservative heros to get a fix on them, and to hunt them. McConnell is one of their attack dogs.
The election is not about ‘R’ and ‘D’. It’s about rulers and the ruled.
If and when that sinks in, then the first wakeup is we have lost KY to the rulers. We’ve lost this cycle in that state no matter what, no matter who wins.
The second wakeup is what do we do about it? The answer is unfortunately to get a democrat in there because that allows conservatives an attack target. With McConnell in there, the loss will endure beyond 2020. With Grimes in there, the loss will endure until 2020 where an opportunity emerges to change the seat to conservatives.
And McConnell will not allow Cruz, Lee, Sasse and Sheldon a voice. So stop thinking that way because it is politically immature.
I know, others know, that it is a hard pill to swallow. It’s an awful feeling to lose and not have help. But it is foolishness to have a hope based on fantasy. Oh if we all just pull the ‘R’ lever for McConnell and WIN!!! Barbara Streisand! It doesn’t work that way, by design. You are a pre-programmed loser. The deck has already been fixed, it’s stacked against you, against us. But you refuse to see it. That’s why you have all these Freepers chomping at your rear end here, because they know how it really works. It doesn’t feel good, it doesn’t taste good, it’s a sh*t sandwich. No one likes it but it is what it is. Looking at the facts and reality is the only hope, not looking at foolish fantasy.
“With Grimes in there, the loss will endure until 2020 where an opportunity emerges to change the seat to conservatives.”
A lot harder to do if Grimes is incumbent.
Never give a Dem a position like this. Never let them have a toe-hold of any sort. It easily can become decades we are saddled with her.
You’re wasting your time trying to explain reality to drones, whether they be Marxofascist Democrats or Democrat Republicans.
We went Soviet. We no longer have any voice to represent us, we are now ruled by an oligarchy. A majority of Americans have a fatal case of Normalcy Bias which ensures that we have no hope of holding onto what shreds of liberty we have left.
They’ll keep telling themselves to “vote more Republicans next time, the lesser of two evils is still better than the worser evil etc., etc., etc. Having no clue they are already in a cage and shackled.
As I told the last freeper who said “at least with a Dem, we’ll know what we’ll get”
We’ll at least get a 5th liberal Supreme, hell maybe even 6th.
We’ll get full censorship on the web, the only thing stopping them right now is elections.
We’ll at least get straight-up single payer.
We’ll at least get outright amnesty
and so on. I don’t think I’m the one who doesn’t understand how this really works.
