Your party sucks.

What party are you with, Johnny. If you hate all Republicans so much, maybe you should look at registering Democrat. Nothing ventured . .

Was this a closed or open primary?

I am curious....


Not sure, but I think KY is a close primary state - maybe someone else knows?

That being said, they should not attempt to deliberately sabotage the only chance we have of getting out of this mess and that is to get a REPUBLICAN MAJORITY in both House and Senate.

I'll take more solid willing to fight against the Liberals Ted Cruz type Conservatives even if a minority instead of majority. The long seated RINO's are a DEM's best friend and our worst enemy as bad or often worse than DEMs. Bill Clinton worked against a DEM Agenda enabling two house GOP majority remember?

Does anyone out there see a future for America if we put Democrats back in power? We’d be toast, done, over. There would be no second chance to put conservatives in because we will have pissed it away when we had the chance.

A magical -R doesn't a Conservative make.

Democrats are like the Gestapo, they move as one, they vote as one, they never vary from their totalitarian path and if we don’t stop it now, if we don’t stop them this election, it’s over.

And who sits on their GOP-E ass in congress and allows them to be such? McCain, McConnell, Corker, Alexander, and the 15 plus in the senate who let Harry have his way. Even Rand Paul has betrayed us. To rid our nation of these enablers they must loose their seat. If it cost the party a seat then it cost the party a seat. Regroup and run a Conservative next election.

We are way better off without Mitch in the senate.

He has worked with the Marxist and Reid and Chucky to destroy the conservative movement behind closed doors with this snake’s dagger pointed at the amnesty blockers!

The primary turnout shows he splintered the Gop base in pieces !
Grimes will win and the DC Obama media knows this !
Old Mitchy was played a fool by Dem Obama DC media !
They got the opponent they wanted against Grimes !

With him gone, its one less Enemy within !

If I lived in Kentucky, I wouldn’t vote for the democrat but I wouldn’t vote for McConnell either.

That's all I'm saying. Being Against McConnell does not have to translate to being for Dems.

We have all heard arguments like yours before.

We heard it when the GOP held all three branches of Government.
What did that get us? Out of control spending and the Senates Gang of 14
(Whose only purpose was to derail conservative policies).
And Bush and Rove’s policies gave us Obama.
Bush finished with one of the lowest approval ratings in US history(27%).

In addition, McConnell has the tools today, right now to stop Obama.
It is called the filibuster. Cruz showed the way, McConnell chose not to
follow.
Would I be willing to give up one Senate race to send the GOP a message.
I would.

It will not take much to send McConnell packing in Ky.
If he loses, McConnell will only have himself to blame for trashing the
same voters he enjoys crushing not showing up to vote for him.
You can’t have it both ways. Trash a large portion of your base and expect
them to show up and vote.

We have it your Bushite way. It’s not working.

A. Grimes - 300,580

M. McConnell - 203,654

Bevin and KY may have lost but McConnell sure didn't win.

A little “lighthearted” ranting & raving. Bill & Hillary Clinton fawned all over her....even made an ad for her.....the Mrs. Clinton,,,,Hillary that be...held a big fundraiser for her (Clinton-In-Law, Margorie Margo”lies”....the lies fit right in with the Clintons, the Obamas and all Democrats....it’s a way of life for the thug rulers of America!!!

30% of the Democrat vote in for PA13CD.....results thus far!!!
B. Boyle - 8466 votes - 60.7% of the vote
M Margolies - 3055 votes - 21.9% of the vote

Guess being a fellow traveler of the lie tellers, the Clintons did not help Ms. Margolies at all!!! Hope she’ll be a great baby sitter....cause she ain’t going to congress!!! LOL!!!

Then someone should have advised McConnell not to trash the same
voters he will need to win the general. And trash he did.

I’d sooner spend a winter in Yorktown under Washington than all my summers under Arnold.

A sobering thought.

McConnell wins easily though Bevin gets a respectable amount the vote for a desultory challenger

Georgia Senate 23% reporting

Jack Kingston 30.3%
David Perdue 29.7
Karen Handel 17.5
Paul Broun 11.1
Phil Gingrey 9.5
Derrick Grayson 1.0
Art Gardner 0.8

Handel is a ways back. If it’s a Kingston/Perdue runoff I’ll definitely support Kingston. Too bad so many people wasted their votes on Broun and Gingrey.

Every Senate Candidate in Georgia has taken a pledge against amnesty

The odds of the eventual nominee supporting it once elected to the Senate is at least 75%. And the odds of Johnny Isakson supporting it is 100% regardless of what he may claim.

Mitchy has wiped out the KY conservative base.

He is now cooked in the general.

He is the shining example of a DC rich elite .

He is toast.

I'm an independent conservative, not a republican.

I despise republicans because mostly, they are liberal, and are against the things I hold dear.

I'm pro-life, pro-gun, against amnesty, against socialized medicine, and for smaller government.

You can see why I can't vote for most liberal republicans, like Romney.
