Initially I thought Mourdock was vastly preferable to the decrepit Lugar.....then Mourdock put his foot in his mouth handing the seat over to the Democrats. Missouri is even more inexplicable. Sarah Palin and many conservatives supported an attractive candidate, the former state treasurer Sarah Stedman, but it looks like the Dems played games in the primary crossing over to vote for the weakest of GOP candidates assuring the re-election of the highly vulnerable Claire McCaskill.
n the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Karl Rove’s idea of electability: GOP elites keep getting it wrong, Moseley wrote:
“some perfectly winnable US seats in red states were lost because the GOP nominated some loose cannons.
Are you SURE that’s the reason? If the Party is attacking their own nominee, why should voters vote for that nominee? Are you sure it’s the loose cannons or the Party establishment firing artillery on their own troops?”
Glad you posted that because it is right on the money. The worst example was the Aikin response.
But the way that could have been handled is Aikin clearing the air by Aikin continuing “ My personal beliefs of what God permits on this subject will never come up with any legislation that will pass my desk if elected. At least I profess a belief there is God who issued the ten comandments one of which is “Thou shalt not steal” another is “bear false wittness” . I also believe being elected to office does not give one a license to steal. The democrats booed Gods name at their convention.....etc etc...
Rove talk show supporters all jumped on Aikin
One of the worst was Cunningham who by the way was surprized and didn’t know he was dumped from WLS.. If he read his reports from his syndicator he’d have been aware
Now back to Mr Rove
First of all guys like Rove and others ignored the mechanics of basic campaigning. They allowed the M.ainline S.ocialist M.edia drive the issues and are still doing so they learned nothing from their disasters.I find it inexcuseable for Rove to allow his boss GWB get continuosly trashed without responding.
These people I call them GOPES because it rhymes with dopes right now are falling into the same trap. Limbaugh and Levin, God bless them ...realize that what Limbaugh calls the LIV’s (low intelligence voters) actually believe that Obama is offering the proverbial “olive branch” to Republicans when actually he is proceeding on his path to complete socialism. AND THEY CAN’T CALL HIM A LIAR .
This administration came up with a policy on energy which had driven up the cost on everything. It was on the tongue of every black, white. yellow,and brown skined person living in the US....IT WENT UNTOUCHED in the 2012 campaign....WORSE YET IT IS STILL GOING UNCHALLANGED
Now the GOPES are buying into the “demographic” argument offered by the MSM. Here you have an issue staring at them straight in the face affecting every man,woman,and child of every skin color and you can’t bring it up and they talk about “demographics” being pushed by the socialist media .
They should be decrying the philosphy of “demographics” by stating they’re Americans first not Afro-Americans. not Hispanic-Americans and not-Asian-Americans, or “White”-Americans. The counter charge should be these are socialist tactics neing pushed by the hypenated Demo-coms. Democrats in socialist/fascist clothing. Let alone not mention the booing of God’s name during their convention then belittle those Republicans who express a religious conviction even to the point of suggesting that those that do shouldn’t run for political office.
Rove and his RINOS are wrong for the Republicans .
