” The Senate is almost, if not literally a total write off.”

Exactly!

They don’t fear us. We need to make it clear to them that we are watching who they take money from and how they vote. They need to the get the message loud and clear that if they do not 100% fight to repeal the Obama agenda we will primary their sorry behinds out of DC.

You can’t get rid of them without BIG MONEY. These politicians have been bought with big money, and they will be KEPT in power with the same big money.

“You can’t get rid of them without BIG MONEY.”

We need to get in their faces A LOT. Next time Brown is out kissing babies someone who voted for him needs to stick a camera in his face and ask him why he is taking Wall Street money and selling his vote. Then put it on youtube. He is probably a lost of cause but these RINO’s from solid conservative states like Grahamnesty and McConell will get the message. They need to get the message that they need to choose between Wall Street and Main Street. These are historic times and the battle is being joined against all enemies foreign and domestic.

I’m with you but...

McCain money spent as of this morning = $12,500,000.00

Hayworth = $575,000.00

Do you think McCain would have been more conservative over the years if he knew he would have dog fight primaries? Hayworth has fumbled this badly and McCain’s POW history is saving his bacon. It’s not just about money in this case.

Look to Bennett in Utah as a positive example. If we can check out some more of these useless fossil R incumbents the younger ones will modify their behavior. The last thing these politicians want is hard primary campaigns that interfere with tee times at the club.

“I wish that we had Repubs especially in the Senate to be as hard ass & ideological as the socialist bastards.”

YES! This is why they are “winning” and we are losing right now. We have the facts on our side yet time and again Barry & Harry & Nan smash their agenda down our throats. The dims will actually use any weapon available and fight for their values. Nearly all Congressional Repubs sell their vote to the highest bidder and head to the club while Main Street burns.

What we need is multiple Senators to stand up and say not just no but HELL NO and filibuster. Show what a fool McConell has been and force these RINO’s to vote again and again with dims on cloture.

The problem here is that we MAY take control and these
fools will be unprepared to move and move quickly to
make the changes we need.

I think Snow and Collins are going to find themselves in hostile territory next time they are up. Brown has been kind of splitting the difference. I think he is making a mistake. He is very much killing his chances at ever running successfully for the Presidency which is stupid. The man could be leading MA to a more conservative end instead he is giving the Dems votes at exactly the time when the GOP should be using this as a time to stall the Dems in every way possible.

They have no plans to lead, and thus they will never get the opportunity. No vision, no spine, and no clue.

With “friends” like this, conservatives don’t need enemies.

Thank you for the list!

Cochran - 1973 of Mississippi is the biggest earmarking porker in the US Senate. He’s a disgrace.

I’m with you and that’s why I am hoping that Rand Paul wins in KY, because I doubt that he’d sit quiet for Kagan’s appointment or for a lot of the “reaching across the aisle” nonsense.

I have hopes that he’ll go to DC “NOT” to make Senate friends.

The fossil incumbents are beyond repair which is why they all need to be sent to pasture and the dour Grassley is one of them.

They’ve been in Washington too long. They’ve long forgotten why they were sent and they no longer care.

I think the only body that can fix the Senate is the House. If strong leadership in the House would put an end to pork the senate would fall apart. They couldn’t win a turf war with strong House leadership.

Like tet68 said, if by chance they do win the majority, then what?

Too many spineless RINOS to do wage the fight that has to be fought.

Would a stronger minority/majority leader on our side make a difference? One would certainly HOPE.

Those Northeastern “Republicans” are like herding cats.

Tou’re right. That club needs to be declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

TERM LIMITS.

Senior Senate Republicans are not optimistic about their chances of capturing the upper chamber in the midterms and have not put together a legislative strategy in case it happens.

If the Republicans won control if the Senate, would anyone notice, considering how ball-less they are?
