I truly wonder if your calling out the NRSC won’t have them endorsing their opponents. I am not blaming you, but also calling out the NRSC for the weasels they have been. I think they hate the idea of conservatives more than they hate Obummercare. Maybe the way to appeal to them in to remind them that they could be majority leader and committee chairs instead of also-rans. I hope you can get them motivated to do what is right for the whole country. We need to repeal Obummercare and then start in on the other crap he, Dingy Harry and Queen Nancy foisted on us, and fixing our budget woes. We have to take our country back, and to do that we have to take the Senate back. So, NRSC, get behind the three (and any others out there) who have a chance to tip the scales in our favor, and in favor of saving this country.

I have been supporting all three through Theoxfordteaparty along with sending money… It seem that many conservatives are not clear on what the goals are in this election… The senate is as important in this elections as the president. (We can accomplish both.)

When this election is over, regardless of the out come, the next effort is to replace every person in NRSC and the support staff.

This is one of those instances that I agree fully with Erick. I simply cannot understand the sheer idiocy of the NSRC. I happen to be one of those “wishy-washy” conservatives who does not believe pro-life or pro-choice should be a anything but what it is supposed to be–a states rights issue. But if the NSRC or any other GOP group refuses to support these three individuals, they are in fact de-facto Harry Reid supporters. I happen to believe that as bad as Barack Obama has been for this country, Reid has been worse. Get your asses in gear, GOP! We must take the Senate back!

Strong agreement on both counts. The wishy washy stand of our establishment Republican friends, including our presidential candidate, have served the opposition well. An emboldened Democrat here in Illinois has resorted to using the audio of Akins statement in commercials that leave the decided impression that their Republican opposition is making the statement. There is no attempt to identify Akin as speaking. Had Republicans stood with Mourdock and Akin this ploy would fail.

If I was in Missouri, I would write in a candidate. He should have gotten out of the race. Murdoch made his stupid statement too late…the damage is done.

I personally believe in life and under no circumstances would advocate for an abortion. However, if my wife or daughter were raped and got pregnant…they are going to make that decision to carry the child…not me…or the government…and I will support whatever decision they make.

You say I am not welcome here? What kind of country are we going to have if you only accept the people who believe EXACTLY as you believe. People like you are the reason the Republicans may never be a lasting majority party.

Yep, I concur with Streiff. Time to go elsewhere. We did not support Akin in the primary. But we support him as the nominee. McCaskill collaborated on the passage of Obamacare and Akin voted against it.

Less than a week to go and we can do without those who’d prefer a third party throw away vote to a vote that can repeal Obamacare. Goodbye.

I stand with Richard Mourdock for United States Senate. There are times when I do not agree with the
position of a Republican candidate.
There are times when I don’t like how a position is stated. Before I vote, I look at the totality of a
candidate’s positions, views and personal record of achievement. I personally believe that this election will
be the most important in our lives and the lives of our children and
grandchildren. We can no longer suffer the
ever-increasing burden of our National Debt.
We cannot further endure the tremendous weight of the out of control
entitlement system without bankrupting our country. We cannot afford the disaster that is
Obamacare and its terrible effect on our lives and freedoms. There are such monumental issues that
Congress will face that it is imperative that we can count on the 51st
voice to be the voice of fiscal restraint and freedom. History has demonstrated repetitively that
when economies collapse, then everyone suffers.
No life will go untouched or unencumbered if we fall into economic
chaos. This is why I support and will
vote for Richard Mourdock. I know
Richard Mourdock to be a man of character, intelligence, vision and
unquestioned integrity. He will be a
reliable vote for liberty, freedom and fiscal restraint. I stand with Richard Mourdock.

When the GOP candidates transformed themselves into RINOs, I quit supporting them AND the GOP.
I now donate only to selected, good candidates like Mourdock, Flake, Cruz, and, in New York where I live, Wendy Long who is fighting against Kirsten Gillebrand. These individuals are all conservatives, real conservatives. They get my $$ and my support.

Erick,

Absolutely right on! Romney could win by a landslide (and I think he will), but unless Republicans take the Senate that won’t force Harry Reid to do what’s right. Rather anticlimactic.

I’m always amazed by the dummies that are voting for Gary Johnson, etc. and when you tell them that they REALLY voted for Obama they have no concept of what you just said. Then, they may say something about Republicans being as bad as Dems, blah, blah, blah.

The next line should be: Well, what are you doing about it? Are you working to make sure that the conservative Republican gets the nomination during the primaries? After all, Gary Johnson WAS a Republican first, for example. But, it’s more than just about voting. Republicans have had some GREAT candidates in the primaries who didn’t get the support that they should have because people didn’t do what they could have.

Oh, and spare me the “I vote for the man and not the party” line. That shows how little a person knows. In college, kids would spout this off, and I would quickly ask, “Well, when’s the last time you voted for a Republican?” Not surprisingly, they hadn’t.

What it comes down to is not necessarily Akin or Mourdock but Harry Reid. If you vote for the Dem in MO and IN, you are voting for Harry Reid by proxy, and Erick’s heading picture couldn’t be any more to the point!

Glad you don’t live in MO! You sound like an east coaster. I live in MO, I am a woman and I support Todd Akin. He has represented my district in MO with honor. I know he will do the RIGHT thing when he gets that senate seat. Republican turn out in MO is going to be big and we will NOT be voting for McCaskill. We know whats at stake and we DON”T want ObamaCare.

Just donated $25 to both Todd and Richard. Majorities matter!

I support those 2, despite not being pro-life, because I want a republican senate just as strongly as anyone else here. However I don’t feel good about their chances due to the non-sensible stuff coming out of their mouths at the wrong time. I wish we had smarter candidates there.

If Sen Lugar were such the ‘Statesman’ he says he is, he would have put aside the pettiness long ago and fully backed Mourdock. The fact is, Mourdock beat him handily in the primary — wasn’t even close. So it’s not like some anomaly occurred and a bunch o’ teapartiers hijacked the election on a whim…after 15,000 people showed up on the State House lawn, they realized *they are* the party, and rather than going third party and splitting the conservative vote, they rose up and decided to change the party from within. They backed a man who ran a legitimate campaign and became the candidate for the GOP. Now it’s time for the mid-right electorate to grow-up and support the guy full-boat, unless you want Reid in charge again…really simple equation.

The machine cannot accept that but they better start…you think they would have gotten the message from the 2010 elections…but they continued to dismiss the staying-power of tea-party conservatives. NO ONE, and I dont care how much I may like them, needs to be in any political office for *30+* years, period. Like any business, the GOP needs to focus on developing fresh talent.

BTW — I visited with Mr. Mourdock yesterday AM. He is a good man, and the electorate can be fickle. On one hand, they complain about politicians and double-speak. So we finally have a guy who humbly states what he believes and does not waiver from it, and they nail him…so what do you want, folks?

My message to mid-right folks–you’re rarely if ever are going to be 100% in agreement with any politician, and whether we like it or not, the reality of the machine exists…one side will control judge confirmations and the rest…which side would you rather have doing that? Would you honestly rather have Reid running the Senate over McConnell or whoever else the GOP Senate might select? REALLY??

If you are mid-right and say yes to that, i’m calling Bravo Sierra on you!

Indiana: this should be low-hanging fruit…Remove all doubt, cut the drama, and put Mourdock in the Senate.

Apparently your single-digit IQ permitted you to sign up for Redstate. We need to update the registration form to make it tougher to figure out.

What sucks is, during the heat on Akin, many pulled support and called for him to step down, over stupid comments, blown up by the propaganda media. Many Republicans were intimidated by the propaganda media and called for Akin to step down when it mattered. Especially crazy with obamacare, obamaconomy disaster, SCOTUS appts on the line. I hope he can pull it out despite being thrown under the bus by his own party.

The Progressive-controlled press wants you to think that the race is dominated by “the non-sensible stuff coming out of their mouths.” You have been made a victim of propaganda. Shed it. The candidates we have are smart enough, and far smarter than their opponents. Every good human being is a target for the demonic left. If you were running, they’d have found something YOU said to make fun of. Hike up your britches and put your full effort into the race.

jjkoran, I can’t speak for the moderators, who seem hostile enough to your position to declare you persona non grata.

However, the position you’re taking is the feminist position. It declares that the opinion of a man has no bearing on reproduction. They think men are merely sperm donors in the reproductive process. Do you agree? If not, please do not cite their ridiculous position as your own.

Of course anybody with a heart is going to pay close attention to the desire of their spouse if the spouse suffers a horrible trauma like rape. Perhaps it will help you to know that 70% of the women who conceive during a rape regard the abortion as doubling the trauma, not solving it, and refuse to abort. Perhaps it will help you to know that most women who suffer rape feel pressured by their family to abort, not to keep the child — it’s the abortionists who are doing the forcing, not the anti-abortionists. Perhaps it will help you to know that of the women who DO choose to abort after conceiving through rape, 80% feel that it was a mistake, and that it really did double the trauma rather than solve it.

But if you really believe in life, you need to ask whether the woman’s choice during a time of trauma is really what we as a society need to hear foremost. Compassion for trauma is not the same as giving in to the decisions of the traumatized made under stress. You can have compassion but recognize that the request being made is hysterical. Those are not incompatible.

In fact, if you believe in life, you should also recognize that it is neither you nor the state that “demands” that the life be honored, it is God. And of all the players in the mix, God does have the authority — and the compassion — to overrule the woman’s “choice.” The child conceived through rape is not a further assault inflicted on the woman by the rapist, he or she is the silver lining on an otherwise very dark cloud. Life is not a punishment, it is a blessing.

This is a good thread, and I think the title of the post should be top/center through election day. How do I nominate to the mods to keep bumping this or make it a sticky? Or merge with the ‘Want to Repeal’ thread and keep bumping.

What this commenter doesn’t understand is that we’re not, by strict definition, Republicans around here. I pay $25 a year for a local county party membership so I can stay on the mailing list, but I’ll not be dropping hundreds of dollars on them to “redistribute.”

If I want Romney to win, I’ll send HIM the money; if I want Akin, same story.

Why would we want to pay some political middle man to sell a brand that produced the likes of McLame, and other RINOs who keep “reaching across the aisle” and getting a bloody stump back? Let’s see…, who did Colin Powell endorse for President…?

I just gave what I said would be my last contribution yesterday to SCF. This election is killing me. 6 days to go. I’ll throw some Mourdock’s way. Akin too if it looks close. Later today.

I’ll admit that I’m not up on the finer points of the Constitution, but I thought that the “balance of powers” allows would allow for the president and House to overide the Senate. Am I mistaken?
