Is there some difference between the two I should be aware of?

Well, the likes of McConnell and Boehner will get you to Hell a little bit slower than Reid and Pelosi, but the destination is the same.

What exactly has McConnell done to fight the democrats and Obama?
He fought his GOP primary opponent viciously.
He has NEVER fought the democrats with that same anger.

And this is who you want to lead a majority?
Good riddance to him and Cochran.

GOOD! I loathe McConnell more than I do the MarxoFascists. At least the enemy is clearly defined with Obama and his drones.

Expecting McConnell to do the same damn thing that he orchestrated down in MS with Thad - and continue to campaign against Conservatives rather than Obama and his regime.

I will say it again - the GOP leadership will prefer a MarxoFascist Democrat in their seats than for a Conservative to win them. We no longer have a two-party system. We have The Ruling Class playing oligarchs.

Apparently, my graphic description of what the GOPe’s are doing to
conservatives did not sit well with him.

GOOD. Better Grimes than McConnell. At least we will know who the enemy really is.

What are you going to do about it?

Declare war on the TEA Party like your idol McConnell did?

The Agent of the MarxoFascist Democrats IS McCONNELL!!!!!

Go pound sand.

Bruised his tender sensibilities, eh? Well like you said, the truth hurts.

Post after post, thread after thread of people rooting for Democrats to defeat Republicans.

It's called "cleaning house."

A necessary evil sometimes, but it has to get done or else it will metastasize, like McConnell's deceits spreading to Mississippi.

In this case, it's forcing out the fossils who refuse to leave gracefully. McConnell could have made himself into a king-maker, and worked towards grooming the next generation of the Republican party. Instead, he's desperately clinging onto his own personal power at the expense of the party's larger interests.

Someone on another thread said that the reason the Republican party isn't growing is that the old-timers who are the face of the party are not appealing to the next generation. Getting a Bevin or McDaniels or Brat into Congress is planning for the next generation.

What good does it do the party if they won't plan for their succession? Do we want to be reactive and wait for Cochran or McConnell or Alexander to die in office? Is the strategy to force in a seat-warmer because when he dies in office the governor can bypass the people and appoint a replacement, giving that person the incumbency edge in the next election?

It's better to head them off at the pass and oust them now when they show signs of putting their own self-interest ahead of what's best for the party and the country.

After McConnell helped the disgusting Thad Cochran, he deserves a humiliating defeat

Is there a more Marxist push poll anywhere?

Do you think those evil capitalists should be shot or hanged?

Pray America wakes up

You said,

“Better to have a Dem taking accountability...”

Really?

AS IF Democrats EVER took responsibility for the messes they created.

Do you remember the “Government shut-down”? The Dems tried to make that “shut-down” look worse than it really was and tried to put the blame for that “shut-down” on the Tea Party.

And guess what! They succeeded! The Tea Party has not yet recovered from that dishonest media-enabled smear.

I think that it is wishful thinking to expect Democrats to honor the standards of “Truth, Justice and The American Way” that conservatives use.

You say, “Set an example so Democrats will learn how to play by our “rules”...”

I say, “Why should the Democrats change “rules” that allow them to “win” because so-called “conservatives”, whenever challenged, simply SURRENDER?

Wonder what kind of ‘flyer’ the GOPe will come up with to overcome this? Maybe they will start fraudulent voting with the Hispanics too or have the Blacks vote several times. LOL

So you admit and advocate supporting Democrats.


I have not supported any candidate since 1980. The only time I voted FOR a candidate was Ronald Reagan in 1980. Every other vote has been a vote against a candidate.

Oh, good Lord, some of these people are hopeless, cuban leaf...


They don’t understand that the reason Obama was re-elected was that a lot of democrats feel the same way about the R’s as they feel about the D’s. They will vote for “their guy” no matter HOW F*****G BAD he is before they will vote for the other party’s candidate. He could be a convicted felon.

That kind of thinking is what has put us where we are. Though I confess that once I realized the two parties were just playing “good cop, bad cop” with us, it became much easier to ignore party affiliation (somewhat).

It’s time for No Chin to lose. He is a maggot RINO who let BHO run roughshod over the USA. He watched and picked his nose. Buh-bye.

Ditch McConnell: He showed his true colors in aiding and supporting Cochran and Barbour’s use of Democrat voters in the Mississippi Senate Runoff. He cannot be trusted.
