I would be happy to contact my Senators to support Ron Johnson…but it probably wouldn’t do much good…as I’m from Missouri so our senators are the aforementioned Mr. Blunt and the dreadful McCaskill.

The Blunts have been acceptable Republicans, but you are correct in saying they are certainly not aligned with the conservative movement. Missouri as a whole is a “center-right” state, but alas the Republican establishment seems to have the Show Me state firmly in its grasp come election time.

I’m also from the house district that sends JoAnn Emerson to congress term after term. Again, has an R by her name, but is “moderate” at best. Would love to see her ousted in the primary…but the chances of that are slim and none….and you know where Slim went.

…and how many genuine conservatives do you think there are among the Republican caucus?

Once again Sen McConnell shows his true colors. He probably recruited Blunt so that a TRUE conservative wouldn’t have this position. Didn’t this same thing happen when Sen DeMint wanted a position (can’t remember which one)? We need to “Primary” McConnell.

I wish I had Republican Senators to contact. I’ve had to deal with the incredibly far left Carl Levin for nearly all of my voting years, No – I have never voted for him. My other senator; Debbie Stabenow – a very apt student of Levin! I have never voted for her either!

I think if I were in hose areas I would move out and find a sane place to live. Not worth the tax dollars to stay.

Would contacting Scott Brown be of any help?

Did anyone notice that Gingrich’s sister, Candice Gingrich-Jones, said if Newt gets the nomination she will vote for Obama?
Smart Girl.

Just e-mailed Senator Rubio…I certainly hope we can count on his support!

mcconnell for the most part is probably in agreement with obama policies. he would just be implementing them at a slower rate
i beginning to believe all the dems and most of the repubs less a few tea party conservatives are all marxists/s in washington

cant help it but i really hate mich mcconnell

Of course, we have Orrin Hatch, who is furiously trying to convince us all here in Utah that he is a made over conservative like he was when in first ran for the Senate in 1976 and won. It was interesting that he voted only “present” like Obama used to vote, on the anti-gun nomination of a judge to the Court by Obama. Could not even find the fortitude to vote against this person. Now, we have a note from him to our most conservative State Senator stating that he read the Bible and decided that welfare is correct and that we have to care for all the poor, even if they will do nothing for themselves. I guess he forgot the scripture that if you do not work you do not eat. Can we really expect a man like this to do what is right here? This vote will, hopefully, be another nail in his coffin. He is trying to tell us that we have to have his seniority because, if he is not re-elected, Olympia Snowe will become head of the Senate committee instead of him, and she is a “real” liberal. Oh well, forget the scripture, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”

Anybody else having flashbacks to the race for House Minority Leader between Reps. Blunt, Boehner, and Shadegg? Blunt was the Whip at the time, and did the usual backroom horse-trading and announced that he had sewn up the race before the vote happened. Conservatives rallied to Shadegg (as a former Chairman of the RSC), but Boehner was an acceptable 2nd choice and we know how it ultimately ended up.

Hoping Blunt can be stopped again. I don’t think he’s a bad guy, but he’s clearly an establishment guy who’s been around forever who wants to be back in leadership in his new house. I’d much rather have some fresh blood in there.

is such an a**. He needs to be primaried and run out of town.

I agree with EE. I am soooo sick of the Congress and the crap that they let go by. I have said that McConnell should be primaried from the beginning when he opposed Rand Paul. All they want is their goodies…their perks. It really doesn’t matter if it is Schumer of McConnell…they are equally as bad.

America is about to go off the cliff. The two top contenders make me sick…because they are just like McConnell. The media won’t give Perry a chance on this and we need to get real Conservatives in ALL the houses.

I say that because…if the Republicans take both houses….ALL OBAMA WILL DO IS PASS EO’S. and nobody will say boo…because we have to have people with GUTS. Romney and Gingrich…never will. BTW…Boehner better start getting a little better at showing he should be speaker also.

Blunt is a tool. The GOP has to be responsive to the will of the people. That is who put them in power. Blunt is just another guy in a suit.

On a separate note, I seriously hope Jim DeMint will consider running against McConnell for GOP leader in the Senate. McConnell has worn out his welcome.

Just saw on Twitter that Sen. Rubio is backing Ron Johnson. Blunt may not have this as wrapped up as he and McConnell would like to think. (again, reminds me of the race for House Republican Leader)

we conservatives have had it with the elite Republicans. It is to the point that the Liberals are in control on both sides of the isle and there is no room anymore for conservative ideas even though they have proven time and again to be the best path to success. I don’t think it wil be called the Tea Party but i will be for conservatives and not RINO’s or Liberals. So many republicans are now being mistaken as RINO’s when in reality they are Liberal. John Boehner is the leader of the Liberal Republicans. I use to think he was just a RINO but with his record this year he is a liberal. He has been a great Speaker for the Democrats. Promised 100 billion in deficit reduction got almost 30 billion which the Democrats wanted to start with. Etc, etc, etc.

I believe that many of the conservative Democrats would come over. They stay Democrats because they are afraid to change parties.

As it is now Friday 1;15 pm and the whole lot of tyrants have already gone home for their usual 4 day weekend. (Most left yesterday around 1pm., then they show up the following Monday afternoon… on a good week)

Mitch “The Cone-head” McConnell is about as useless a Senator as possible.

This all started when he opposed the election of Rand Paul in his home state of Kentucky, and chose to place his chips on some useless doofus that was the State Treasurer. Since then, he has made “compromise” the measure of his success. Just another in the long line of McCain wannabe’s.

To the citizens of Kentucky: Please vote out this jerk in his next primary contest, and replace him with someone that will save the nation. Appeasement of the enemy is not a good battle call.
