Well I'm clearly in the minority here. I would like to see a GOP Senate majority in November. Teaching the GOPe a lesson would make me feel good as well but that feeling would be very, very short lived. Harry Reid can make me feel bad forever.

Face it, we not going to fill the Senate with 100 Ted Cruz clones overnight or in any one election cycle. Fight the good fight like we have for years and we can change the face of Congress. Teaching the GOPe “A Lesson” is a terrible strategy. They won't learn the lesson and we will all be worse off despite our well intentioned efforts.

Yes, you are.

I would like to see a GOP Senate majority in November.

If it is the GOP-e, or as I like to call them, the Democrat's Other Party Elite (the DOPE party), then there is utterly no difference. Amnesty, giveaway programs, gay marriage, being comfortable with a police state, and -- eventually -- strict gun control. No difference to see between the Dems and the DOPEs.

We worked out posteriors to the bone to relect GW Bush and hand him a full GOP Congress. We worked around the clock to take control of the Senate in 2004. What was the result?

John Roberts confirmed, the justice that legitimized Obamacare as a tax.

Harriet Myers nominated for appointment as SC Justice.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform aka Amnesty that was fortunately defeated but caused the loss of Congress to the dems in 2006.

Enormous increases in spending with lax oversight of Wall St. and banking.

Medicare Part D....

Need I go on?

Taking control of the Senate with the likes of McConnell will not make your life better or expand or guaranty your freedoms.

Taking control of the Senate with RINOs is an allusion and you are their fool.

The allusion is the belief in the existence of two entities, republican and democrat. Keep believing it as that is by design, to fool as possible as many into believing it.

The demos and the gop establishment are bought and paid for by the same group of oilgarchs. They are owned. Ignore this and be forever their fool.

Drop the “GOPe a lesson” BS. It’s become as annoying and ineffective as “The Race Card.”

The GOPe is no different than the democratic party. We don’t want to teach them a lesson. We want to replace them.

Back in the day FR did member polls from time to time. The question of purity versus pragmatism would be a great one to poll.
