Just a hint to conservatives. Don’t run six conservatives against one RINO and expect anyone but the RINO to get 50%. Get the would-be challengers in a room, put the names in a hat, ask God’s guidance, and draw a name. That will be the candidate ALL those in the room will work to elect. It’s the only way to succeed.

Graham is more conservative than Lamar.

Brad Hutto (D) is identical to Graham. He might even pledge to vote against some liberal judges if they are bad for business.

Graham did not oversee an amnesty bill get to Obama’s desk. He did not see cap and trade get to Obama’s desk.

But he did say:”Shut up, you don’t get a lawyer”. People like that.

Ousting Cantor was the most important thing that could be done.

I wonder if Graham could be a pick to replace Chuck Hagel after 2016.

[kingattax]

you make some excellent points.

here’s the key though.

in order to do some successful ‘RINO hunting’ we need the right gun (real conservative candidate) and the right ammo (real conservative issues that are clearly communicated).

since you were talking about US senate races, that’s obviously a statewide race, so there is much greater need for money and grassroots folks being more active.

no matter that the senators you targeted are clowns and need to go, it is still very difficult to unseat an incumbent.

As bad as it is to have Graham running in Nov. the idea that a dem would do better is ludicrous.
Two points.
When the freshman get to Washington the party leaders make it clear the freshman WILL vote as the whip wants them to , or their office is going to be in a broom closet.

A majority in each house is crucial to getting anything done in Washington. Even if Graham is a rino, his sitting on that side of the aisle counts.

IOW, hold your nose and vote for Graham in Nov.

You can knock Hatch off your list. He’s retiring

In the 2014 South Carolina primary, 187680 votes were cast for Republican Senate candidates ... 68944 votes were cast for Democrat Senate candidates. That's a 2.7 to 1 ratio. Odd that in 2012 Obama exceeded Romney 51% to 47% in a state where the Republican voters outnumber the Democrat voters almost 3-to-1, isn't it. Cross over voters. Graham is a closet Democrat and his Democrat supporters crossed over and voted for him in the primary. He's a reliable wolf in sheep's clothing and they aim to keep him in office or replace him with an unclothed wolf. The only way South Carolina gets rid of him is to allow Brad Hutto to defeat him.

My list to dislodge includes the following senators:

Harry Reid

Dick Durbin

Chuck Schumer

Barbara Boxer

Al Franken

This gang of 5 have hurt me more than any other congress critters.

[Arm_Bears]

There seems to be a lot of anger from Conservatives over the win by David Brat—At least on FR.

Rush was raving today, too—Turned him off.

How about we savor what Professor Brat accomplished for 24-hours, and then refocus on the battles ahead?

Marco Rubio has done a lot of good on conservative viewpoints and seems to have burned his RINO bridges. He got played by McCain and Schummer before he had time to see where the invasion of the US is heading, from a DC perspective. I’d be interested in hearing what he has to say about that issue now before putting him on the trash heap of RINO backstabbers.

It would be good if a conservative could run for the Graham seat as an Independent.

He just might win, and the vote for Graham is sure to be split.

Which means Lindsey will have to pay for his own lipstick in January 2015.

“Graham did not even do well in his primary. As entrenched as he is, he could barely muster 59% of the vote against a divided field. This was even worse than other RINOs like McConnell and Cornyn (who, treacherous as they are, were able to hang on only because they did at least cast NO votes on the immigration reform bill). Graham has clearly stoked serious opposition in the party which we can capitalize on in 2020.”

Grahamnesty only received 56.4% of the vote, though he had more money than all the rest of the field several times over. None of his opponents received free publicity from outside groups or talk radio. None of his opponents were able to get their message out in an effective way and therefore none of them got any traction. And yet Linseed only received 56.4%. Linseed was very lucky this time around. And meanwhile, as Levin emphasized on his show tonight, Tim Scott, who was also running for a Senate seat in SC, received about 90% of the vote in his primary.
