What's a "Mainstream conservative"?
A RINO.
That’s leftist-speak for RINO.
Sweep???
They had to spend millions again people runnign for the first time to just squeak by....
Now, will six million Republicans show up on the first Tuesday in November?................
Sold their souls for the devil this cycle. Tactics used by the party are not forgivable, and at least one of these guys will lose in November because of it.
We got a bigger scalp in downstate Virginia anyway, and Mississippi is yet to be resolved.
I’m giddy myself. These people are sparing me the pain of going to the polls. I can just sit home and follow the story on the Internet as the whole country sinks into oblivion.
The fact is, the TeaParty (grassroots) is putting a fire under their feet and they don't like it.
And I hope Cochran loses in Miss.
The Tea Party is young and those fools are old
Sweep?
The loss of Cantor negates the use of the term “Sweep”. Besides, the tea party is still growing at the local and state level. In another 2 years they’re going to start showing up in house and senate races in unprecedented numbers.
Old age and treachery always beats youth and skill.
The guy who beat Cantor has his work cut out for him, he will find no help in his own party. I heard the party decided to pull all of the GOTV funds in that district and send it to other candidates.
In both Kansas and Tennessee they packed the field in “most votes wins” primaries and couldn’t break 50% for either bag of Shiite they ran. If that has them happy they are desperate to find something to be happy about.
The GOP is just not a viable option for conservatives. The party has deeply intrenched interests who protect the status quo and ward off all who would fight against big government. The GOP will never change. Ever. Attempting to work through it is a fool’s errand and a complete waste of time.
We in the conservative minority (and it is) need to be willing to focus our energies against the truly traitorous republican incumbents and candidates. Not everyone with a less-than-perfect voting record must be opposed in order to make headway against the progressive scum in DC. If a GOPE type retains his seat against the DEM challenger, while conservatives win primaries and beat the liberals in the open contests, the eventual thrust of government will be positive. Most of the GOPE’ers are unprincipled enough to go with the flow most of the time. We just have to concentrate on changing the zeitgeist!
Do what you want. I intend to politically destroy liberal republicans.

Apparently, the GOP enjoys their successes with the knowledge there are plenty of mind-numb Republican sycophants just like there is in the Democrat Party.
Let us know how November works out for you.
I share your position. I called it quits after the McDaniel/Cochran debacle.
