And just how do you propose to have a revolution without winning general elections? Yes it feels great to show RINOS the door e. g. Murkowski but you need a strong candidate as an alternative. Sorry, Christine may have the proper values and policies but she is fatally flawed as a candidate. Particularly in a blue state.

You protest too much.

You do realize Coons is an admitted Marxist?

Sorry if winning the generals means that RINOs get to pick the Presidential candidates, veto every attempt to roll back Oama's agenda. Or worse just swap parties at a critical moment like Arlen Specter. A revolution thus won has no value. If a fight must be fought, than it must be for something more than just putting a few more "R"s in the senate.

As I stated in my two other posts, we weren't going to do anything between 2010 and 2012 except stop Obama. And we will have the seats to do that with or without Delaware so long as the RINOs stay in line most of the time and do not block vote with the Democrats. Showing that they will lose their seats with absolute certainty if they betray the people who elected them is worth more, than one seat that we couldn't never count on in any case. After all with Castle's voting record we didn't lose a seat, we only lost 47% of a seat. The rest of the time he voted with the Democrats.

Friend, you’re just not getting it. We’re in a fight to save this republic. We’re going to have some “flawed” heroes on our side, but what’s important at this moment in time, is that they be willing to charge the ramparts with us and take back this great country of ours.

You’re apparently living in the past. You’re trying to comprehend and analyze current events with the old rule book, which only partially applies in the current evolving paradigm.

You’ve got to understand that a great shift has occurred, and that most center-right voters are alarmed to the point of near terror about what the ruling class is doing to our country. Where do you think all of this energy is coming from? How is it that Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin can attract hundreds of thousands of people to an event that is billed as “Restoring Honor”???

What on earth is that all about, if not a monumental shift in attitudes among the American public?

We have never “won” by electing people who only pay casual lip service to our most profoundly held beliefs. Bush and the Republican Congress failed America badly, and were rewarded for their lack of moral fiber by losing Congress to the Democrats in 2006, and with the election of Obama in 2008.

That’s what you get for playing by the old rules. The people threw out that book over four years ago. Don’t you see that?

You seem to be of the opinion that Republican = Conservative.

We're not going to win this war for the future of the country unless we give the people a chance to vote for candidates that believe in Conservative principles in general elections.
