I never suggested Roberts (48%) isn’t objectively conservative. He is, however, the mouthpiece of the GOPe, and relatively less conservative than the other viable challenger, Wolfe (41%).
Had the GOPe (NRSC) kept their dirty Big Government Republican hands out of the race, I wouldn’t have such a complaint.
But they came in with guns blazing in a PRIMARY to defeat the more conservative challenger.
Well. Now that they’ve poisoned the well, they are complaining that they can’t drink from it.
I’m just showing the GOPe as much love as they’ve shown conservatism all over the country.
Perhaps you are not old enough (intellectually) to vote. You clearly don't know what voting is about.
When exactly did that happen?
I was in strategy session for a local candidate in late July. We were hoping for a low-turnout election and everyone was pleased that the primary season had been quite quiet. In particular, many were wondering if the Roberts and Huelskamp campaigns were overconfident because they had done so little. We got the low turnout we wanted so our unknown but more conservative candidate could overcome the name recognition of the well-known, incumbent moderate Republican. We got our people to the polls, the overconfident incumbent didn't.
I would absolutely love to replace all the GOPe. I am still outraged with what happened in Mississippi.
The GOPe certainly has to be removed from power. But Obama with so much control his last two years really scares me.
Fortunately for me, Jeff Sessions is on the ballot in Alabama. I would support Sessions for president or V.P. so it’s an easy decision for me.
We have no clue if Wolfe would have been more conservative than Roberts. Wolfe had just about zero experience in politics, including voting. So we're just supposed to vote for him on blind faith? You're nutz and get over Wolfe losing. My fellow Kansans obviously felt the same way about him and he lost, get over it.
