Establishment wins in North Carolina, break out the band! It's all over for the Tea Party! Long live the Oligarchs!!
Tea Party wins in Nebraska (for both US Senate and Governor, not to mention the congressional seat in West Virginia) and it's a "modest victory"
yep….BTW…I thought Sasse was running for the Cornhusker Kickback seat of Ben Nelson….this story says its for the other Nebraska seat. Am I wrong?
What a stupid article. I’ve long maintained CBS is the worst.
Yup. Barely squeeked by in this nail biter race. Didiots.
No, Ben Nelson was replaced by Deb Fischer two years ago. This year, Mike Johannes is retiring after one term (he replaced Chuck Hagel).
And good riddance. Look at his voting record! Sasse will be MUCH better! Making the US Senate more conservative, one seat at a time!
Johanns (NE) - 05/13/14 - 63% (Average) - 56% (Heritage) - 71% (CFG) - 71% (ACU) - 55% (FreedomWorks)
They are just helping their rino friends have a voice. McConnell can’t say say bad things, again, about the tea party so close to his primary.
LOL. The Tea Party pulls out a “modest” victory and CBS writes a grudging article about it.
Yep, my bad….oh well, glad Sasse won and glad Nebraska now has two NON Dems. Not sure I love Fischer, but any of these are better than Johns/Nelson combo.
CBS was so happy with GOPe’s glee over last wk’s NC TEA Party smackdown
All liberals write off the TEA Party constantly, taking no consideration of the intimidation that has been waged
This must freak them right out. Eric Gucci cantor as well no doubt
As much as they mock the tea party, they never acknowledge that Cruz is quickly becoming the voice of opposition. Denial on a grand scale.
This was for the successor to Mike Johanns, who is retiring after this term.
This is the way the House and Senate were supposed to work, a citizen-legislator gets elected for one or two terms, then goes back home and his successor, supposedly representing the more updated frame of thinking that persists in the locality, brings new blood and perspective to the respective legislative chamber.
Somewhere that got derailed with politicians making a lifetime career of holding an office until they are carried out dead or feet first. Incumbency is a blessing only for the incumbent. Even worse when it becomes a dynasty and is held as a “family legacy” for generations.
yep….
If he said that to me today--he died several years ago--I would give him a resounding agreement--though it's hard to say whether the North America or Europe is more heavily propagandized.
Truth is not only routinely disregarded, but in some cases to speak it is forbidden and, at least in Europe and Canada, illegal.
The propaganda in the U.S.A. is relentless and overwhelming. It has lead America into a quicksand of decay and decline and is leading her inexorably to destruction,
And its only real antidote, that which could save us--Truth--the unvarnished Truth--Truth for its own sake--is scorned, ridiculed, taboo, and dangerous.
Western Civilization is truly in a downward spiral of self-destruction.
We won yaay! But did we win with a pig in a poke? My god he was ascholara at athe Brooking Insitute.
There were not one but two big Tea Party wins yesterday. Sasse in Nebraska and Alex Mooney in West Virginia. Both are of the Ted Cruz type of conservative in which they will not cave before the republican establishment but instead shine a light on their deceptive practices.
Your expression of glee was quite 'modest'. It should be more like:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
With all precincts reporting, Sasse defeated Dinsdale 49 percent to 22 percent
CBS, yer phoning it in, baby. This one is complete bullshit, it's provable that you lied, and it shows you are nothing CLOSE to news, but ONLY propaganda.
Could you please elaborate on the 27 point margin? It sounds like there were more than two candidates.
From Politico:
Sasse: 49%
Dinsdale: 22%
Osborn: 21%
