Vote for the most conservative person in the primary, then vote for the most conservative person in the general election.
This is how you get conservatives in office. If you don't vote for conservatives in the primary because you "think" they won't win, you will never know. The corrollary is once the primary comes and goes, you still vote for the more conservative candidate in the general election, even if that wasn't your pick in the primary. Sitting it out because your guy didn't win is how we get Barack Obama. |

Multiple examples of the RINOs peeling off to vote with the Dems to set back conservative principles, both with respect to legislation (Collins, Snowe, Brown, Specter, Lugar) as well as outright party switches (Jeffords and Specter). Look how Jeffords set the Republicans back and undermined the conservative movement by giving the gavel to the Dems. No, you don't stop Obama in his tracks with people who have their wet fingers up or hands out looking to see which way the wind is blowing and who can pay them off. That has been shown, repeatedly. If the Dems win and are opposed by a conservative minority, at least they will be held accountable for the partisan mischief that they have wrought. When even a handful of Republicans cross over, even though it is illogical, the MSM declares the result bipartisan. Nobody can blame the Obama/Pelosi/Reid legislative agenda on the Republicans. With few exceptions, the results are entirely theirs to account for, and that is why there is clarity this November (which I can smell from my front porch). |

No. It will be the folks who voted for an unelectable candidate in the Primaries... And this lady is one hell of an unelectable candidate. If Castle won, we had a chance. You do NOT run 'true conservatives' (or in this case, power-hungry fake conservatives) in DELEWARE. If she wins the primaries, we don't - the Senate will be a Schumer/Kerry/Levin operation until 2012.... Please stop talking. No matter if the R's gain control or not of the Senate they will have way more and their veto will be impossible to override.More bullshit. You seriously don't understand how much power is in leadership/committee chair positions. If the GOP gains control of the Senate, the Dems will not have 'way more' votes - it's impossible, because a GOP vote majority is required to take control... Further, once in control, you get conservative leadership in the Committee Chair positions, and they then gain the ability to kill bills by administrative maneuvers, set the agenda, and similar.... With a GOP majority, the Obama Agenda STOPS right there - regardless of what the RINOs want... Without a majority - no matter how ideologically pure the minority - Obama's allies still get to run the show.... Wrong. Multiple examples of the RINOs peeling off to vote with the Dems to set back conservative principles, both with respect to legislation (Collins, Snowe, Brown, Specter, Lugar) as well as outright party switches (Jeffords and Specter). Look how Jeffords set the Republicans back and undermined the conservative movement by giving the gavel to the Dems. No, you don't stop Obama in his tracks with people who have their wet fingers up or hands out looking to see which way the wind is blowing and who can pay them off. That has been shown, repeatedly. If the Dems win and are opposed by a conservative minority, at least they will be held accountable for the partisan mischief that they have wrought. When even a handful of Republicans cross over, even though it is illogical, the MSM declares the result bipartisan. Nobody can blame the Obama/Pelosi/Reid legislative agenda on the Republicans. With few exceptions, the results are entirely theirs to account for, and that is why there is clarity this November (which I can smell from my front porch). Committee chairs matter more than individual RINO votes.... The power to actually block things without 'fillibuster or die, 1 RINO vote can break us' crap that we're stuck with now, is worth putting Castle in DC. No one cares what the minority does. |
