“The senate is where the GOPe has the firewall but we’re weakening it every day.”
That is exactly right. They’ve been going all out to protect the senate, to prevent any more conservatives from getting in.
They are so pissed that we took out Arlen Specter, Bob Bennett, Richard Lugar and made Lisa Murkowski fight for her life. They expect to be able to run unopposed and build their “warchests” but we’re not letting them.
And with all their fire trained on US Senate races and some US House races, conservatives can be more successful in more down ballot races to take over the party.
With more conservative legislators, we can get a convention of states going to permanently take power from those at the top, who have rigged the system for years.
And the US Senate will not be completely protected. Ben Sasse is on the way, and likely TW Shannon and Joni Ernst along with several new people like Gardner in CO, Daines in MT.
What about Tom Cotton, cotton1706?
There are others who aren’t officially “tea party” but do have tea party voter support like Terri Land in Michigan. She’s not a conservative firebrand but has a reputation for honesty and integrity. She’s a clear step up from Carl Levin and is to the right of John McCain.
“They’ve been going all out to protect the senate”
Not really. We have had Harry Reid treat us like dirt. And we don’t like it. We are out to get him by hook or by crook and if we have to have run a communist in some states or a rabid conservative, WE DON’T CARE.
Reid has deliberately opposed legislation that democrats and republicans agree on. Most republicans run for US senate to make some positive changes and Reid has made the last 6 years a waste of everyone’s valuable time.
We are getting rid of Reid. We plan on getting a pickup of 10 seats in november none of whom will support Reid.
Reid is gone.
We are crushing unelectable teaparty candidates because they are in the way of delivering a historic butt beating of Harry Reid.
I am GOPe. Daines in Montana is more liberal than I would like. But I don’t care as long as he wins and Reid gets kicked to the curb.
