"If you’re in Mississippi, you can stay mad at Thad and allow Travis “no repeal” Childers to win. That’ll show those RINOs!"

This statement is beyond contemptible. There was no fair fight. This was a fraud, a cheat, a fix, on a scale usually engaged in by Democrats (and what do you know, that's the very people used here). Thad the Cad sold his soul for power rather than fight fair or gracefully retire in favor of the preference of the majority of ACTUAL Republican voters, Chris McDaniel. Republicans or Conservatives owe Thad precisely NOTHING, not their support, not their vote, and stuff any claims how that is "helping" Reid. Thad IS a Democrat, and this sham of a primary runoff proved it. So yup, screw him, and this idiot author, too.

“those abstainers are responsible for the domestic corruption and foreign policy disasters of the last two years....”

Such projection!! We are not responsible for any problems. The Elected officials and those who elected them are.
such pathetic “I take no responsibility for may actions” childish behavior

If the Republicans cannot field office holder WE wish to vote FOR we will not vote for them.

No amount of childish petulance will change this dynamic.

about 4 million conservatives declined to participate in the 2012 presidential election

Someone is blowing smoke. It wasn’t conservatives or the Tea Party that didn’t vote for Mitt.

...and some of them are right here still today. They might even make an appearance.

It’s a long fight. We are going to need many administrations consecutively to really cut into the Washington mindset. We will not win every time, but we will win eventually if we stay in it and get up every time we get knocked back. Let’s not let our hurt feelings get in the way of the real prize, a true American Renaissance.

No. It's the GOPe who think that conservatives in general, and Tea Partiers in particular, are stupid.

Just reading the first two paragraphs it sounds more like Karl Rove wrote it. LOL. You’ll take our GOP-E liberal agenda enablers and love it they say. If they loose it’s all your fault. They cry.

‘Scuzzi:
Republicans did not select a slate of candidates and hope you liked them. They ran primaries and the eventual candidate was the winner of those primaries. Yes, Thad Cochran was a jerk in MS [and yes he cheated!] but the fact is that the majority who voted in the primaries chose the candidates.

Heck, here in NC we are stuck with Thom Tillis....BUT: the other alternative is Kay Hagen, who simply MUST be fired from the senate. I will have Tillis’s email and will write him weekly if I must as will many others to keep him hewing to the right. Might just make a decent Senator out of him...

But in any event, he will be miles better than the sycophant we have now.

He lost me when he said that conservatives should vote for Thad Cochran.

The title is kind of funny. It’s the GOPe who will be whining if Cochran doesn’t win. Only losers reward abusers.

The GOP-E doesn't want closed primaries especially in my state Tennessee. It would put an end to their "Friends" across the aisle DEMs from helping them win elections and nullifying the primary process. You'll notice many states with a GOP-E Liberal running usually get Token DEM opposition or are running a safe DEM so they screw up the primaries. That is one of the major reasons GOP-E wins primaries.

Another reason is lack of media coverage for conservatives. There is no Conservative TV News Network and please don't call Faux such. Every time something happens they call upon GOP-E Schmucks like McCain or Rove for the GOP voice. The same John McCain that handed Obama a 2008 win by bowing out before the election. Makes a person believe strings are pulled on GOP-E puppets from DEM's lobbyist offices and party doesn't mean squat anymore.

Wow, not caps, but big and bold, you really are angry.

Can you stop screaming and explain how another demonRAT senator does not help harry reid?

You, and all the other, "I hate the rinos, and would rather cut off my nose, to spite my face, than vote for a rino" can never logically explain how keeping a demonRAT senate is better for America.

You may "feel" better, and pat yourselves on the back, saying how you didn't sell out to the rinos, but when you awaken on November 5th, and harry reid is still running the senate, are you and your chilrun better off?

Right?!@#$#&!

He wouldn’t know right from a hole in the ground. Anyone who votes for Cochrane is worse than the lowest pond scum.

Voting for a RINO is worse than voting for a Democrat. Every close vote in recent history that has benefitted the left has been passed by RINOs. And now RINOs run the party and its ministry of propaganda.

If you vote for RINOs, you are rewarding the people who despise not only you, but all the values you represent. Vote only for conservative GOP candidates. A RINO GOP congress will do NOTHING to slow Obamas course of destruction. And they will NEVER advance a conservative agenda.

OOH RAH! VOTE RINO! HELP ROVE TO CONTINUE HIS FUNDEMENTAL TRANFORMATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Palin is a tea partier but she’s not stupid because she’s working to oust Reid.

It’s tea parties who won’t vote who are stupid. Keeping the senate power in demoncrat hands is really really stupid.

He misses a very important point. As Steve Forbes pointed out so astutely in a radio interview a few weekends ago ... the big question isn't whether the Republicans will win the Senate in November, it's what difference it would make even if they DID win.

If the House of Representatives remains in GOP hands, and ends up more conservative than the Senate anyway, then what difference does it make who controls the U.S. Senate? The Republican Senate leadership hasn't even laid out a plan for what they intend to accomplish if they are the majority. That right there tells me everything I need to know.

Why should we vote for the guy who calls himself a Republican but will only slow the rate at which the Progressive agenda moves forward? I’m sick of working harder for less money each year while the Progs on Wall St and the Welfare Line reap all the rewards.

The way I see it, the sooner we go full commie, the sooner the Useless Eaters will lose their usefulness and be given the ultimatum: contribute by working or as fertilizer.

Working people have NO representation.

Really, people get PAID to write drivel like this? I understand deadlines and the need to get so many words on paper so you can eat, but where is the pride in your craft? How can this guy hold his head up when he says he is a journalist when he submits this as his work product?

I get SO tired of pointing out that our elections are not football games, you don't handicap them and make odds. If the guy wants to represent you in school board elections or the Presidency, has a track record for honesty and integrity, and understands and vows to uphold the Consitution, he has my support and vote. If no one does, I don't vote because I don't vote for people who do not represent my values. So this... poor excuse for a man earned his dinner, but lost part of what makes him a man, his character.

The difference between you and this sorry author is that he gets paid for the turgid prose he writes. What is your excuse? So yeah, I showed up.

"what difference does it make who controls the U.S. Senate?"

The Senate must approve all Obama political appointments. There is a significant likelihood that at least ultra liberal Ginsberg may not make it through the next two years. A Republican Senate could block an ultra liberal replacement. A Senate controlled by Harry Reid would approve one. There are a multitude of other appointments to be blocked, as well.
