I think they will take it as "Don't deliberately piss on them or they will bite you."
Yes, it's important to gain seats in the Senate, but it is *MORE* important not to let people attack us in such a way that we will LOSE seats.
McConnell just took a sure thing Mississippi Senate seat, and may have very well flipped it to the Democrat. If we lose that seat it will be because McConnell would rather have a Democrat sitting in it than a Tea Party Reform candidate.
If McConnell is willing to let the seat go Democrat instead of letting one of us win it, why shouldn't we give him a taste of his own medicine?
Beyond that, his tactic of accusing the Tea Party of racism will very likely be used again in the elections two years from now, if he is not seen as having paid a price for stooping so low.
The Tea Party's future is in jeopardy if McConnell gets away with that tactic.
I realize we don’t agree even though we both want leaders more conservative than McConnell.
I don’t think the message is sent, by voting for the more liberal candidate. I don’t see how that will ever get the point across.
If conservatives farther down the ticket receive more votes than RINO’s up the ticket, I think it sends the message both of us are saying.
My 2¢, worth only what you paid for it.
Cheers
