We can get even with the GOP establishment later; we need to beat the Democrats first.

How many times have we heard THAT before?

Time for the GOP-E to reap the whirlwind it has sown!

We will fight against the GOP when it is the same as the
DNC.

We will fight against the GOP when it is comprised
of the proObama Team Romney.

We will fight against the GOP when it is comprised
of the conservative-backstabbing Team Romney.

This article presupposes that Cochran won but did not cheat. I think he cheated twice - once in the primary to prevent McDaniel from getting over 50% and once in the runoff by getting illegal voters to the polls and by not counting absentees. Cochran’s mom is the one in charge of the biggest Dem county.

Nevertheless, I prefer a GOP Senate. Cochran and other cheaters will get their due - but I’m not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

Look how far we’ve come. Ted Cruz. Rand Paul. Mike Lee.

Which of these three is unlike the others?

Hint:

Rand Paul to appear in Nashville with Lamar

Time someone said those things. Thank You.

All too often it seems there are those more interested in destroying the Republican party than they are in achieving conservative values.

Conservatives, Losing One Battle Doesn’t Mean We Have Lost The War

If I recall, we lost most of the battles during the revolutionary war.

Still won.

If I lived in Mississippi I could not vote for the “animal lover” Cochran.

“If I recall, we lost most of the battles during the revolutionary war. Still won.”

We haven’t won a battle in decades, and I don’t see French or Spanish sails on the horizon. Conservatives have lost the culture war; now it is about preserving our way of life despite the larger culture (or more appropriately, cultural vacuum).

Same old crap. Fortunately a lot more conservatives are waking up to this little game that keeps liberals in office. It’s LIBERALS vs CONSERVATIVES. If you want to win the future, spend your time and money on conservatives, not liberals of any party.

Schlicter is one of those "we'll win with a non-conservative first and THEN become conservative later" type of RINO's.

Those of us who have been around the block more than once know that "later" never comes.

The alternative to not fighting is capitulation and submission...I’m not ready for that alternative.

Report from Charles Johnson indicates that Cochran will be filing a legal challenge in court today. Don’t we need to determine if laws were broken?

Conservatives only lose this outrage if Cochran stays in the US Senate. I hope there are lawsuits and the nomination goes to McDaniels. If not, Cochran should be defeated. That's what sends a message to the disgusting RINO ptb that say "accept this behavior and move on".

I've expressed this thought many times. I don't want a majority in the US Senate with the likes of McCain, Cochran, Murkowski, Ayotte, Flake, Collins etc etc setting the tone. They scare me.

We haven’t won a battle in “decades”? What is your definition of battle, because in the case of this article it was a single election. Conservatives have won many battles in the last 2 decades, in fact the desperation in this particular battle was gratifying, even though it was a loss.

Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Mitt Romney and Karl Rove have more damage to conservative America (over the last four years) than Harry Reid.


So ... now ... who's the enemy ?

LOL! that's the part that gets me, too. They want to act like this is a rare or new occurrence, but some of us have been watching Republicans crap on their base for decades now.

We shall DEFEAT Cockran in November, so that this STUNT is NEVER pulled on us again.

That is how to deal with it.

This author can say what he likes but I think any conservative who votes for Cochran in the general election is a fool. I’d be more than happy to lose the State to a “D” just to send this much needed lesson to the GOPe. Ditch the base and you lose.
