That's my opinion. I'm from the reddest county in the reddest state of the country. I'd bet I'm as conservative as anyone here. But I want HARRY REID retired. I'd rather Cochran was retired too... but they didn't give me a vote on that.
It is turning in the wrong direction, the Captain wants us off his ship and spits at those who tell him he is headed for the iceberg.
Time to man those lifeboats.
Well, I hope for your sake you aren't a betting man.
You must be a lot younger than me. I held that view at one time in my life. Now I don't. I don't see the point. I watched the "compromise candidates" win, and the "establishment candidates" win and when push came to shove they threw me under the bus.
These GOPe pols exempted themselves and their staffs from the obamacare regulations and costs that they imposed on me. I will not support the lesser of two evils anymore.
I will vote in the primaries for conservatives. I will send campaign contributions to conservatives. I will vote for conservatives in the general election. If no conservative is on the ballot I won't vote.
That strategy has not worked. With that strategy we only get more RINOs that are really dims and when the chips are down and we really need them, they vote with the dims.
But it appears to have done just that in Mississippi tonight.
Look, the Democrat machine in any state doesn't just decide to turn over its operation to support Republicans. Republicans have been historically bad at get-out-the-vote operations. Do you really think that they reached into Mississippi Democrat quarters and turned out the vote for Cochran?
What this means is that the two parties coordinated and cooperated. Imagine that? What does that say about how Congress is being led? Why does the GOP turn to Democrats to keep this seat when it was safe to begin with, when they are beat down day after day by Harry Reid and the Democrats in the Senate?
Doesn't this seem a bit too cozy? Does this look like the behavior of a party that wants to win and take over, or a party that just wants to get by and keep their own ground?
If Republicans do retake the Senate in November despite themselves, it will be because the voters kicked out the Democrats. But wait and see... Republicans will be led by the nose by Democrats in the minority, just as they are when Democrats are in the majority.
