“My old boss Ronald Reagan used to say, ‘Somebody who agrees with me 80 percent of the time is a friend and ally, not a 20 percent traitor,’” said Haley Barbour, a one-time Reagan political aide, in 1993.

I am not a Kentuckian, so it doesn't matter who I would support in this primary. All I am saying is McConnell would be a Heckuva lot better than Grimes. And Reid being demoted would be heaven. We cannot change ANYTHING with Reid in charge of the Senate. And those who stayed home in 2012 gave us 4 more years of Obama EOs and EAs. Disgusting. And yes, I do believe Romney would have been better than Obama. And I acknowledge that the whole country is not as Conservative as I am, but I would always vote against a Democrat. At EVERY opportunity.

I’ve voted too many times for the “Lesser of two evils” and got burned each and every single time. I’m done with that way of voting and if nothing else...my vote will cancel yours.

I see. So despite the fact that today's Republican Party has morphed into a group of Vichy France statist sycophants who give lip service to conservative principles, and hold the door for the DemocRATs, you'll still vote for the group that has actually declared political war on people like the founder of Free Republic.

You say that McConnell would be "a Heckuva lot better than Grimes". And you'd probably say that we couldn't withstand six years of Grimes. I say we should not stand by and let McConnell get away with stabbing us in the back and reward his treasonous behavior. I say we should not stand by and let the vile, statist-possessed GOP leadership think they can get away with their disgraceful mistreatment of conservatives one more electoral cycle.

This has got to stop. You go ahead and keep voting for the Vichy Republicans. I and plenty of other Freepers no longer will.

What do you call a “10% Friend and Ally” who is also a “90% Traitor?”

Here’s a clue, it’s the same name you give to someone who commits election fraud and falsely labels their conservative base “racists.”

A lot of top GOP leaders are looking at having plenty of free time following their next elections.
