I early voted for Lamar Alexander - who stinks!

I haven't voted yet but will hold my nose when I will vote for him. Sometimes you just have to do that, but I refuse to vote for any rat.

I voted for Joe Carr in the primary

For all of you who are too young to remember, let's learn a little bit from history. After Richard Nixon's defeat by John Kennedy in 1960 the GOP party mechanism was in the hands of the Eastern Seaboard Establishment Republicans. In a period of 4 years Conservatives had wrested control of the party from them. Even though Goldwater lost by a huge margin, his efforts paved the way for Ronald Reagan (his political “coming out” was a speech on behalf of Goldwater).

We have forgotten how we can change our country. We think we can put up a few conservatives and the Rhinos will just roll over and hand us the reins of the party. Of course, they are going to fight. Rather than look at what happened in MS (where I live)and other places, as a great defeat, we can see how far we have come. The key is to take control of the party. And to those who want to just leave the GOP we need to remember that the stakes are far too high to just let the Rats win and maintain power. We are too close to tyranny for the luxury of taking 8 to 10 years to build a “pure and the driven snow” party. I don't like Thad Cochran but I am going to hold my nose and vote for him nonetheless. And for you in KY and Kansas, how much good will it do if you stay home and the Rats win? For so many reasons, we need control of the Senate, if for no other reason that we can put some brakes on federal tyranny.

Vote November 4th! There's just too much at stake!
