“That is why you’re willing to lie to make your point.”
Good God, calm down. I was speaking of the whole caucus, not the individual elections. The republican caucus in the senate is now more conservative than it was even though we lost two seats. Cruz is more conservative than Hutchison and Flake is more conservative than Kyl. And the moderate republican seat we lost in Indiana was washed with the conservative seat we gained in Nebraska.
Snowe and Brown were democrats. They had an “R” next to their name but they were democrats all the same. Brown especially would have pulled a Jim Jeffords before long. He was already running as an Independent on the ballot in some districts here in MA.
My statement was correct. Three moderate senators going out, three conservative senators coming in. The republican caucus is much more conservative. All the establishment nominees lost, and Akin and Mourdock defeated themselves.
I don’t shed any tears that Snowe and Brown and Lugar are gone. They always voted with the democrats and were always used as cover to make democrat bills “bipartisan.”
Too bad about Mourdock, but I saw the question he was asked, and it was a malicious live grenade handed him by a 'Rat journopuke.
More training will help, but you're right, he hurt himself. But as I just posted above, when DemonRat journalists do that, they must be made to pay a price, every time. It will help level the field and abate the spiteful campaigning and "gotcha" stories they want to do.
