Understand this: If GOP leadership has decided to abandon the rules of the game and enlist the Ignorants in the Progressive Party (aka "Democrats"), to win primary elections, the battle is already lost. I will no longer support GOP causes. Understand this: whether we have bunch of Marxist One Worlder's in charge, or a GOP representative willing to partner with the Marxist Red influences in our county, it is all the same to me. The GOP may have just signed its death warrant. NOW is the time to take back the Senate, but that does not mean we take it back, acting as if we, the GOP, were nothing but Democrat Proxies. You should know that what is not mentioned in the following excerpt is the fact that the GOP enlisted a Democrat voter block of 35,000 to beat the GOP/teaparty candidate, Chris McDaniels by 25,000. In other words, with Democrat voters in the GOP primary, McDaniels would have won his primary bid against a GOP Establishment candidate by a margin of 10,000 votes. I don't car what is "legal" in Mississippi. I only care that the GOP invested itself in the defeat of McDaniels, using the the same Democrat power base that is destroying this country.
Update: It is not that I support the teaparty candidate, in this case. Rather, my angst is with a GOP leadership that will stoop to Democrat tactics to win an election. THAT is patently wrong, and leadership must pay. Payback that is possible and legal at the same time, includes ending all donations to the GOP, and voting specifically for those candidates that rank high on our (my) list of stated values, but never voting to support those who encourage such election tactics. If my representative (in the House) supports this tactic, as conservative as he is, I will not vote for him. If needs be, I will "flip" to Democrat and raise as much hell in that party as possible.
Red State’s Erick Erickson - I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it is true. I can confirm what we all suspected.
The advertisements attacked Mississippi State Senator Chris McDaniel and painted conservative Republicans and tea party activists as racists.According to documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission, All Citizens for Mississippi received funding from a Haley Barbour backed group called Mississippi Conservatives.Mississippi Conservatives, in turn, was funded in part by Sally Bradshaw of the RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project, former RNC Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the political action committees created for Senators Mitch McConnell ($50,000), John Cornyn ($50,000), Rob Portman ($25,000), Bob Corker ($25,000), and Roy Blunt ($5,000).
You have been hesitant in making this decision. I am inclined to agree, but, seriously, would this not be end of all hope for turning things around? I don't see how you can argue against that possibility.
ReplyDeleteI voted for John McCain, one of a few political decisions I totally regret. I knew he hated conservatives and the religious right, based on his angry rhetoric in losing the nomination to Bush, back in 2004. I voted from Mitt, and still think he would be a good choice because he would keep his promises and would work WITH teaparty folk. But this business of using Democrap tactics to devour their own, in the McDaniels/Cochran contest, is just way over the line. NOT supporting the GOP in this compromising, amoral action, is not the "end of hope," but only the admission that hope is LONG GONE.
ReplyDeleteYou think there is no diff between Mccain and Obama?!!
ReplyDeleteI am assuming you are a Lib or, at least, a moderate Democrat. I used to be one of those, myself. If you were a "conservative," fighting the "good" fight, you would know the answer which is: "McCain and Obama are headed in much the same direction. Its just that Obama wants to "get there" in his own life time," and McCain only cares about incremental socialist changes. He calls it something else, but his is a path to the same Utopian goals as Obama, but without the "I hate America" thingy.
