I can’t vote for someone who’s living in open adultery.

Even Bill Clinton didn’t do that.

A conservative that votes for a democrat is either mentally ill or brain dead.

Any vote for a Democrat who is running for the U. S. Senate, is a vote for Harry Reid.


Blame Cornyn.

Anyone who’d vote for Thad Cochran and thinks he is “on our side” should be committed to an asylum.

“I think Childers had a so so record, 60% or so, when he was in the House. If he makes major efforts to distance himself from ObaMao and Reid, reaches out to the TEA Party and pledges to caucus with the GOP if he’s the deciding vote or they otherwise gain the majority, then he could win. “

Sorry, that strategy is just nuts! Everyone on the right wants to get rid of Reid. This isn’t the way that you do that! If Cochran wins, send him a drool cup as a present, and continue to support people like Mitch Daniels.

My gosh, are you suggesting people vote for "the lesser of two evils"? I'd say in this case, if McDaniels isn't the nominee, a vote against Cochran is a vote against evil!

We just might be worse off with the Senate having a majority that the RINOs control. Stick with the minority that's more conservative, and they can work with the HOR using the power of the purse to stop funding Obama's or the Chamber of Commerce agenda.

If McDaniel doesn’t get the election results overturned, the Democrat needs to win that race. The Tea Party needs to show the Republican establishment that if they want to play hard ball, our side can do it harder.

If you vote for him in November, he’ll be voting for Harry Reid as majority leader in January.

If you vote for Cochran, you will convince the Republican Establishment that racists attacks against conservatives works.

One GOPe Senator is not worth the damage this will cause.

Thank you for pointing out that a vote for any Dremocrat is a vote for Harry Reid as Majority Leader. Democrat Senators vote in lockstep with whatever their Leader tells them. Don’t believe any campaign rhetoric that Democrats put out to the Contrary.

A Traitor is worse than an Enemy soldier.

Thad Cochran sucks and the way he won the run-off sucks. But if I were in Mississippi, I’d hold my nose (and close my eyes) when checking the box next to his name.

I would vote for the Democrat, because letting them get away with their race bating tactics will cause us far more damage in the long run. Showing them that it was a mistake will curtail much future damage and misery.

In the past 50 years I’ve had many a primary candidate I’ve supported lose a primary or not get a nomination and I’ve always supported the Republican nominee in the general election, but NOT this time. I’m writing in McDaniel, I know it won’t be legally counted but the impact will be noted.

If you stay home you will do one vote worth of damage.

If you vote for Childers you will do two votes worth of damage.

If you've made up your mind to do damage, why do it half way?

Is there any insult, any slight, any verbal beating, any besmirching slight on your reputation and honor: any thing that will stop you from lowering your eyes, saying you are sorry, asking for forgiveness for any perceived conservative slight and obeying your Master?

Or as Samuel Adams put it:

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
- Samuel Adams -

A conservative that votes for a democrat is either mentally ill or brain dead. There are no other explanations.

Or purging dangerous traitors, which is more important than keeping a seat out of enemy hands. Anybody remember Arlen Specter? Anybody remember what a piece of sh*t he turned out to be?

It's important to get rid of traitors, and if you have to vote for a Democrat to accomplishment it, you need to exercise some mental discipline and just bite the bullet.

Cochran keeps voting for Obama's Judicial appointees anyway, so it really won't make a whole h*ll of a lot of difference if he's there or a Democrat is.

You know what guys; I’d vote for a one-eyed crack whore before I’d vote for a sitting, U.S. Senator who has no problem comitting voter fraud and winning a GOP Primary with race-baiting and the help of Democrats.


Say, what is the one-eyed crack whore’s stand on gun rights? It sounds like we’ve found an alternative to the GOP!

Who shives a git? I hate the RINOs who control the GOP as much as I hate Democrats!

They are the bigger threat!

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The TEA Party showed it’s power when Scott Brown took “Kennedy’s seat.” They showed it even more when Brown lost his reelection bid without their support.

That’s partially why the GOP hates the TEA Party. That’s too much power in the hands of “the unwashed masses.”

I rarely us upper case letters, but I am screaming (!!!!!) at everyone how important it is to get Harry Reid out of his leadership role in the Senate.

THE FIRE IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE FRYING PAN!

Harry Reid is bad, but letting the Republican establishment get away with accusing the Tea Party of Racism and using Democrat votes to defeat the actual Republican candidate is far worse. We can survive not taking the Senate. We cannot survive letting them use this tactic again and again, which they will do if we do not cut off their thieving hand right now.

There is no forgiveness for this tactic, and only a fool would think they should be allowed to prosper from it.
