McConnell: Tea Party 'Bullies' Who Need Punch in Nose
breaitbart ^ | 11/22/13 | m boyle

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Rove’s Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch … in the nose.” On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. “The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular,” the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.

But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.

“McConnell said the Tea Party was ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies,’” the source said. “And he said ‘you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do.’”

Rove, as well as American Crossroads President and CEO Steven J. Law who also serves as the president of sister group Crossroads GPS, were also on the call. Rove “talked in a slightly gentler way, or let’s say, a more diplomatic way,” the source said. “But the message was pretty well the same: That if we’re going to save this thing, we have to back real Republicans.”

“McConnell said the Tea Party was ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies,’” the source said. “And he said ‘you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do.’”

Meanwhile he is begging Reid for his pants back so he can hide his shame after being used yesterday. But the Tea Party are the bullies.

He could try to punch me. I haven’t been arrested for beating someone down for almost 3 years, so my deferred adjudication is over.

Does this idiot have any plans to punch harry Reid in the nose over his unilateral ending of the 250 year old filibusterer rules? What plan does he have to stop Harry Reid?

Funny, isn’t how tough establishment Republicans are toward Conservatives. These same establishment Republicans are tender kittens when it comes to their Democrat Masters.

Does this dope realize the ONLY reason there is a republican majority in the House is because of the Tea Party? I think he’d like it the other way around. Good grief.

Sorry Mitch, I am only going to vote for strict constructionist conservatives who believe in founding fathers principles which means they have to believe in GOD. I don’t care if they have GOP after their name because obviously that does not mean the same thing to you as it did my dad and my grandpas Republican Party. quite frankly you and your ilk in the Republican party can go to hell and probably will
