2014 Battle For The Senate - Official Thread

[Matt Collins]

one week to go

I predict a 50/50 split in the Senate with VP Biden holding the ring of power for the next 2 years!

 

[jllundqu]

I think republicans are overconfident. Either way, whether or not they regain the senate, liberty loses. The GOP has shit and pissed on everything I hold sacred too many times for me to drink their kewl aid again... And I sure as hell don't want to hear the "lesser of two evils" argument. I'd rather have liberal democrats in 100% control than flipping back and forth and dying slowly. The sooner we hit the reset button on this failed experiment, the better.

I'm still bummed we didn't get Brannon the nomination in North Carolina. Tillis is such a terribly milquetoast candidate he's actually down in the polling!

I know what you mean. OK will have Senator wankford instead of Randy Brogdon. Then in AR, there's tom cotton becoming firmly entrenched as a Senator as well. Not to mention MS. Hopefully we can at least get more Liberty Candidates into our State Legislatures to offset these sort of setbacks.

 

[William Tell]

Gridlock beats 1 party rule, but none of the GOP senate nominees deserve a liberty supporter's vote.

I guess the good thing is that Brannon, McDaniel, and Wolf are primed to win something in 2016. Maybe Miller will run for House if Don Young retires.

I just saw an article that NM is in play

The most important races of the night for the liberty movement might be in the Kentucky house. We need the GOP to take the Kentucky house so that they can pass a law allowing Rand to run for the Senate and the Presidency at the same time.

 

[Matt Collins]

Republicans forecast to win 5 state Senates and 9 state Houses:

Tillis always had big negative numbers, even amongst the GOP. If Hagan wins, it is the fault of Karl Rove and the corrupt crony establishment. This should have been an easy race to win for the GOP, and would have been if the GOP candidate was someone other than Tillis.

If they were like they were in the late 90's, while they may not go in reverse they may at least slow down the growth slightly.

Are you actually fucking kidding me? You rush into every anti-voting, anti-state thread to parrot your nonsense about "winning at their game", and this is what we stand to gain? It would be BETTER for the out-and-out spenders to win, if that's the case!! Better to bring about the ultimate collapse than painfully prolong it. That's what you're selling us?!

 

[erowe1]

What's this thread about? The 2 big political parties?

 

[r3volution 3.0]

I can't wait til the Republicans take over and do absolutely nothing but increase the scope of government.

Me too.

That will make the base angry with the leadership, giving a certain anti-establishment candidate from Kentucky a better shot in 2016.

 

[Pauls' Revere]

I'm having trouble caring.

So what if the R's gain the senate? I'll eat my shorts if we actually get an up/down vote on audit the fed, even with Reid out.

Yep, could really care less the GOP is as crappy as the DEMS.

I think you're mistaken about what "the ultimate collapse" means.

It's better to avoid making things suck more on purpose.

No, again, go back and read what I wrote... this is a multi-decade process, things won't change overnight. The first thing to dismantling a 1000 story building that should only be 100 stories is to slow down the construction then stop the construction. After that we can work on getting it back to the proper size.

This is how you dismantle a 1000 story building.

 

[Occam's Banana]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Anti Federalist again.

I said dismantle, not destroy.
