McConnell Gains Rubio Endorsement, Defends Olmsted Dam Funding (Kentucky Kickback)
WUKY ^ | 10/21/13 | JOSH JAMES

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and challenger Matt Bevin recently received dueling endorsements from conservative heavyweights.

Bevin received a boost to his campaign Friday when the Senate Conservatives Fund endorsed his bid for the seat, but a few days later McConnell is now touting the support of Tea Party favorite Florida Senator Marco Rubio.

The Senate Conservatives Fund elected to back Bevin after the candidate criticized McConnell for taking part in the deal that helped end the government shutdown, which also included $2.8B for a dam project on the Ohio River. Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation, McConnell shot back at those who have labeled the provision a “Kentucky Kickback.”

Yo, Mitch. How much did Kentuckians taxes go up in order for you to get that 3 billion dollars?

Marco should read this post, re-examine his political career and then switch to the Democrat party. He's no TEA Party favorite, to be sure. Speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

Ted Cruz is the man.

The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out. We need term limits.

Oh Rubio, oh Rubio! Wherefor art thou Rubio? . . .

. . . In the toilet with the sleazeball establishment Republican leadership, that is where.

One of these days, Rubio will say, “I coulda been a contenda. . .”

I would make a lousy politician. I believe that right is right and wrong is wrong.

That is why I always did grunt work and was fired a few times. Wouldn't compromise.

But, I made it to retirement without owing anyone anything. Had three squares, a wonderful wife, etc.

What else can I say?

No different from the endorsement of Arlen Specter by George W. And how did that work out?
