From here...
http://p.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/16/senate-republicans-paid-mississippi-attack-ads-pai/ Mississippi attack ads that painted conservative Republicans and tea partyers as racists were funded by Senate Republicans, RedState Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson has confirmed.
Advertisements by All Citizens for Mississippi, which attacked state Sen. Chris McDaniel and painted conservatives as racists, were partly funded by Sens. Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker and Roy Blunt Establishment RINO is what Cornyn is and always has been.

Problem is, we continue this 2 party shit, so no, they have no chance of winning....until we change.
Problem with that is, getting everyone on board with it, because of the same things we see all the time. Even within the same "groups", we argue amongst ourselves, or just flat out don't care and/or give up. |

In before someone says the parties are different, because one is for gun control and one isn't. The fact is, this is true, but when it comes to spending money, they both can't do it fast enough. The dems spend it on FSA and illegals, while the repubs spend it on buying 3rd world dictators and leveling 3rd world shitholes. What's the difference? They both have pissed away enough we are all in debt up to our eye teeth.

Voting libertarian takes a vote away from the republican candidate. +1 Never forget the 2000 presidential election, Ralph Nader's 97,000 votes in Florida kept Al Gore out of the White House. (and Pat Buchanan's 17,000 votes made the "hanging chad" an issue) In short, the party with the least bleed off of voters.......wins. |

So, I'm supposed to hold my nose, overlook that type of behavior from the leadership of the Republican party and keep sending them back to DC? Really?

Isn't the point of elections and voting to vote for somebody you believe in? No, the point of elections is to elect the least objectionable candidate. I've been voting since 1975 and have NEVER voted for anyone "I truly believed in"...........I wasn't that naive then, I'm still not that naive. Politicians aren't infallible and will say anything to get elected and do anything to stay in office. Don't like the current shape of America then don't expect it to change if you keep the same people in their chairs. Don't expect it to change by staying home in your parents basement because your most favorite, awesomest guy evar! didn't get the Republican nomination. Quite simply anyone who runs as a third party or independent waters down the election. I would vote for anyone who runs against a Democrat.........because if I don't the Democrat will stay in office. Example: I think Ron Paul is a fucking loon. I've thought that for twenty odd years. If he ran in a Republican Primary against Christie, Perry and the homeless guy living in a van down by the river I would vote for the homeless guy before Ron Paul. But come time for the General Election if he's the Republican nominee I'll vote for him simply to keep Hillary out of the White House......it's a choice between the lesser of two evils. |

We had 5 options in the last presidential election.
1. Vote for Romney, a really mediocre and unwise choice. 2. Vote for Obama, an even more unwise choice. 3. Vote for Obama by voting for the 3rd party candidate. 4. Vote for Obama by writing in a vote. 5. Vote for Obama by staying home and not voting in protest. I never vote R or D in the primaries. That's an idiot's vote. I never vote other than R or D in the general election and only in extremely rare circumstances do I vote D. Anything else is an idiot's vote. It's easy to say some of the things that have been said here but the reason we have Obama is precisely some of the faulty thinking presented here.

Notice how the RINO's are no longer talking about repealing Obamacare? Go ahead and pull that lever for Cornyn. We had our best chance of gutting Obamacare last year if the damn Republicans, and I mean ALL OF THEM had stood together and stared down Obama over the budget. But, the RINO's, including Cornyn, caved and threw Cruz, et al under the bus and gave Obama the victory.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. One does everything possible to replace (fill in any of many names here, Cornyn, Graham, etc.) every time possible when there is any hope at all of doing so. It's when you get to the point of bad or worse that common sense says I absolutely don't want bad at all but at least it isn't worse.
So you do what you have to do and then go back to work to change things in a way that has some chance of succeeding and which doesn't insure worse. It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

I refer to him as Milk Carton Cornyn, as he disapears for an odd amount of time when important political events are happening.
He only crawled out of whatever lobbyist vaction home he was staying at, to pitch some stupid, quasi ammesty bill in respone to thousands of future democrats running across the border of his own damn state. I'd not heard his name mentioned since the primary race, and some ridiuclous ads he'd had done for talk radio, about how he was standing up to King Barry (but acutally has done nothing). I'm another solid R who won't vote for this loser in the general election. He, like alll polticans has to earn my vote, and he's done nothing. Oh, and for the "you go us Obama" voices, no, McCain and Rommney got us Obama. The Republican establishment got their borning, spinless, valueless candiate in both 08 and 12, and lost miserably both times. Neither one thought they could win. Neither one had a campain staff that thought they could win, and instead spent the campain leaking to the press to curry favor with them and get favorable treatment, preseving their ablity to get hired for another campain. When an establishment canidate loses, they say "you conservaties lost it for us, you didn't hold your nose and vote for the wimp we selected for you". When a conservative loses (usually with rumors and dirt leaked agasint them by the establishment), the establishment says "See, that's what you get for nominating them. Conservaties are supposed to drag establishment canidates across the line, but when a conservative get the nomiation, like Murdock in IN, the establishment like Dick Lugar refuses to even publicly support them, and then stabs them in the back to the media. |

I would not say he did nothing, He voted for cloture in the Senate to allow the vote on funding Obamacare. Which he voted against, even though he knew it was going to pass once it got out for a floor vote. http://www.freedomworks.org/content/senator-john-cornyns-top-ten-bad-votes
(2013, RCV 206) Senator John Cornyn of Texas voted to end debate and allow Senate Democrats to re-insert funding for ObamaCare into the Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government. Although Cornyn did vote against the final bill, he and all Republicans knew that voting for cloture to end debate would allow Senator Harry Reid to fund ObamaCare by a party-line vote, and thus a vote for cloture was a de facto vote to fund ObamaCare. So, he voted for it, before he voted against it.

Typical attitude of those who gave us Obama. Can't have their way so they take their ball and go home regardless of the outcome. They probably aren't doing anything any other time other than clicking for a candidate that isn't R/D in the primary and then clicking one with ZERO chance of winning in the general election thus guaranteeing the election of worse rather than bad. Smart. Really smart.

If you want change, you have to actually do something different. I can guarantee you that not voting isn't going to work out like you think. If you don't vote in the general election you deserve what you get. If you want the best possible candidate then you start with the primaries. Bitching about Cornyn? Was there a better candidate in the Republican Primary? The closest opponent (Steve Stockman) pulled in an amazing 19% of the vote vs Cornyn's 59%. |

People can say whatever they want to say. That doesn't change the truth. The truth is whether Obama, Cornyn, Pelosi, Jackson-Lee or whomever, there is one option that votes against them and four options that votes for them. You either do what you can to keep them out of office or you endorse them and help put them into office. I'll do anything I can to defeat them, until it reaches the point where doing so supports and elects an even worse choice. As a good citizen, I can't and won't do that.

snip Blah, blah, He's not a dem so we must vote for Cornyn, Blah, blah blah. That's all you have. The R's should be talking about repealing Obamacare as a CAMPAIGN issue, but they are not. The R's should be talking about absolutely no amnesty, but they are not. Many are ignoring it, some are pushing for amnesty. The R's should be talking about voter ID laws, but they are not. These are all winning campaign issues, but the RINO's are running away from them. WHY? The majority of the American people support those positions. In the budget battle last year, the conservatives in the house voted to defund Obamacare and fund the government. The polls all showed at the time that the public wanted the government funded and that they did not want obamacare. So, the House Republicans gave them what they wanted. It was the Democrats in the Senate that shut down the government. The Republicans should have pounded Obama and the rest of the dems with the hammer of Thor especially after Obama closed the national monuments. But what happened? The RINO's caved! Just like they always do. And it was out wonderful John Cornyn in on the action. So, let's sum up. Cornyn consistantly sides with the rest of the Senate RINO's against the conservatives to help out Harry Reid whenever asked. Helped run racist attack ads against a conservative candidate in MS. Throws Ted Cruz under the bus whenever he gets the chance. And for that, I should reward him with another 6 years on the job. I have seen the error of my ways. Thanks for enlightening me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No, the point of elections is to elect the least objectionable candidate. I've been voting since 1975 and have NEVER voted for anyone "I truly believed in"...........I wasn't that naive then, I'm still not that naive. Politicians aren't infallible and will say anything to get elected and do anything to stay in office. Don't expect it to change by staying home in your parents basement because your most favorite, awesomest guy evar! didn't get the Republican nomination. Quite simply anyone who runs as a third party or independent waters down the election. I would vote for anyone who runs against a Democrat.........because if I don't the Democrat will stay in office. Example: I think Ron Paul is a fucking loon. I've thought that for twenty odd years. If he ran in a Republican Primary against Christie, Perry and the homeless guy living in a van down by the river I would vote for the homeless guy before Ron Paul. But come time for the General Election if he's the Republican nominee I'll vote for him simply to keep Hillary out of the White House......it's a choice between the lesser of two evils.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
My parents basement? Really? You're the problem with the "conservative" voting base. Resort to elementary trite when you encounter somebody who doesn't agree with you? Go ahead and keep voting for the likes of Cornyn or whomever that keeps saying what they need to say to convince you to vote for them. After it's all said and done and your RHINO sucks from the teet of the liberal state, don't complain. Quote HistoryQuoted:

First, I didn't vote for John Cornyn in the Republican primary. Second...........please explain how YOU are going to help keep David Alameel out of office. It will be an interesting explanation I'm sure.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
That asshole helped submarine a conservative candidate by using the oldest trick in the DEMOCRAT playbook and you say we should still vote for him anyway? Have you lost your fucking mind? You hold your nose and vote for candidates that pull that crap and guess what....they learn that they can keep doing it and you won't do a damn thing about it. I guess you showed them huh? The Republican party is dead to me. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I will vote for any Libertarian before I vote for Cornhole. Guys like you gave us Barack Obama. Thanks a lot.
The worst republican is still better than any democrat. Voting libertarian takes a vote away from the republican candidate.

You hold your nose and vote for candidates that pull that crap and guess what....they learn that they can keep doing it and you won't do a damn thing about it. I guess you showed them huh? The Republican party is dead to me. It was the FSA that gave us Obama. Stop blaming it on people that didn't vote for Obama at all. I will never again vote on a party line. I vote for the candidate, not the party. If everybody did this, we wouldn't be in half the trouble we are in now as a country. |

Really though, if you're looking for people to blame other than democrats, there is plenty of blame to be found in the ranks of GOP cannibalizing (sabotaging) the tea party.

First keep out the Democrats.
Then throw out the RINOs. If you think voting for the "ideal" candidate is a winning strategy, why not cut to the chase and write in your own name? |
