    Mid Term Elections

    Now is probably a good time to ask Republicans running for Congress what happened to concealed carry reciprocity and the Hearing Protection Act?

    Gun owners are to the Republican Party as Blacks are to the Democrat Party. We vote Republican, provide the votes that win close elections, get Jack Shit in return (with respect to 2nd Amendment rights), and keep voting Republican.

    There's a bigger concern right now than trying to PUNISH RINOs. The crazy LEFT 'might' take back the House and then we're fucked. Non stop impeachment proceedings and political kangaroo courts in the House for YEARS. This is probably the WORST TIME to try to try a litmus test on Republicans, when the crazy Democrats are within striking distance. The issue is that they're too chicken to try it now. I'd prefer to pressure them on a seat by seat basis when the lunatics aren't so close to seizing power. We can afford to replace lazy republicans with better ones individually, but you don't knock down a 'soldier at the line' and try to replace them with a better soldier in the middle of a life or death struggle with the enemy.

    Might? Don't kid yourself, my friend.

    Barring any unforeseen event between now and November, the Blue Wave is going to wash over the House and possibly just barely flip the Senate as well.

    Latest polls show even Ted Cruz's "safe seat" is in a statistical dead heat with his Democratic opponent right now. Donors are freaking out. If Texas ever turns blue, the GOP is in deep shit.

    No enemy of America would have ever been killed if they didn't show up to be killed. HDR

    Right, if they can get enough illegal votes, dead, invader or non existent people. You know it and we know it. I think you'll be surprised, America in general is sick of the crazy left tactics..

    I would agree to some extent with your point, but to me what you call RINOs are in reality the mainstream Republican party.

    Now seems a good time to me to put pressure on the Republican party. I have to frequently travel into MD so the failure to bring the concealed carry reciprocity legislation out of committee may get me killed which is one reason I don't feel a since of restraint with respect to putting pressure on Republicans.

    I don't know. I suppose we'll see.

    Just keep in mind that historically, the midterms don't go well for the party that holds the presidency.

    The left is really triggered right now, more than I've ever seen. They are just champing at the bit to get in there to vote and make a referendum against Trump.

    And now the ACLU has been weaponized. They used to sit elections out, and not take sides, but now they've borrowed from the NRA's playbook and are actively telling their millions of members who to vote for.

    Could get ugly.

    The Blue Wave is a MYTH created by the Communist media to make those who would vote Repub, to stay home and not vote. That's the ONLY way the Communists have a chance of winning anything.

    The people who voted for Trump won't let him down. They know what the Left is trying to do and they know they are the only thing preventing it from happening.

    Most of the "new" dimocrats running for office are showing themselves to be outright Communists, raising all kinds of Communist/Socialist platforms that are, inherently, insane.

    The Blue Wave will be nothing more than a bunch of dimocrats pissing in the ocean to try to cause sea level changes.

    They'd do better to piss in the wind.

    I don't believe there's a Blue Wave coming any more than I believe in the myth of man-made glo-bull warming.

    What I've been thinking too. And even if the polls don't say what they say they do, they will lie with no shame. Also, lotsa jihadsters running for office, Mn you need to fix that problem.

    I'm still worried about that 'blue wave'. The media is going into overdrive trying to whip up the hysteria of their base. Their mantra of 'it's the end of the world' nonstop is an obvious attempt at motivating their own voters. The Dems have gone so far off the deep end, that our country is finished if they take over Congress in Nov.

    I wouldn't worry about this illusory "Blue Wave." It's going to be more like a yellow puddle.

    The "Blue Wave" is nothing more than a liberal pipe dream....and they've been smoking some really weird shit in that pipe.

    Media Attempts to Divert Muslim Primary Victories – Victory Speeches in Arabic
    “From a refugee camp to the State Capitol with intelligence and insight,” beamed former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, who endorsed Omar. “This is a wonderful story to tell as Americans, and a great source of pride for the state of Minnesota’s open arms.”

    But on Thursday, Omar made her mark in another way.

    She was one of only two members of the Minnesota State House to vote against a bill that would allow life insurance companies to deny payouts to the beneficiaries of terrorists who die in violent attacks on Americans.
