McConnell is a Republican with a 90%+ conservative voting record; Grimey (as she prefers to be called) is a liberal Democrat who likely will vote liberal over 90% of the time. I take it you prefer the liberal. Well, that’s your right, although you may feel more comfortable hanging out at DU, where they similarly want the liberal Democrat to win in KY and for Harry Reid to remain Majority Leader.
But to claim to be conservative and still support Grimey for the Senate? Now that is just retarded. (My apologies to the developmentally disabled, who don’t deserve to be lumped together with “conservatives” who support liberal Democrats for a 6-year Senate term with control of the Senate on the line.)
Typical Ruling Class attempted intimidation. Your kind are are no better than the MarxoFascists. You’ve enabled the Ruling Class to establish tyranny over us.
I’ll explain it very simply:
McConnell DECLARED WAR ON CONSERVATIVES PUBLICLY.
He said they were going to ‘CRUSH US’ everywhere they found us.
Yet you are going to try and intimidate or shame Conservatives into supporting McConnell?? I take it you are fine with traitors who send their minions to slit your throat while you think you sleep safe in the camp?
I’m not ignorant of what McConnell has been doing behind the scenes to silence Conservatives and advance Obama’s agenda. It’s instructive that you support someone who does and then attempt to ridicule those of us who will refuse to vote for the scum.
I’d rather Grimes be in that seat than McConnell, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Harry Reid is going down. Normally the GOP senators try to vote their conscience whatever that may be and try to perform their job of governing.
Right now, they are just really angry and they are angry at one guy. It is Harry Reid and they are mad because he has made zero attempt at governing.
You want to know why Rand Paul endorsed McConnell and Cruz did nothing against Cornyn and no one says a word abour Linsey Graham or Susan Collins and actually Susan Collins says nothing bad about Cruz ?
They are all really mad at Harry Reid.
“McConnell is a Republican with a 90%+ conservative voting record”
You are referring to American Conservative Union’s scorecard which is a well-known joke. The Heritage Action is the gold standard for measuring conservatism in Congress and they rate McConnell at 75%.
Here’s how McConnell accomplishes his deceit as a political con artist when it comes to establishing his conservative credentials (and other GOP progressive senators do the same, in fact they follow McConnell in his art of deceit):
http://www.redstate.com/2013/02/22/the-american-conservative-unions-embarrassing-scorecard/
* ignore all the ways Mitch McConnell collaborated with Harry Reid to change Senate parliamentary procedure to work against conservatives;
* ignore a significant portion of fiscal bills in the Senate;
* ignore a host of bills designed to keep subsidizing failing enterprises with tax dollars.
Here’s the real record of McConnell:
* voted to keep the Essential Air Service program that conservatives annually ridicule as a waste;
* voted to continue federal student loan subsidization at a ridiculously low rate;
* voted for a massive highway increase;
* voted several times in favor of parliamentary changes in the Senate that undermine conservative’s abilities to stop bad legislation;
* voted for the debt ceiling increase;
* voted to keep market distorting energy tax credits and subsidies;
* voted to let a $41 billion bailout of the post office go to the floor of the Senate; and
* voted for a host of temporary spending measures designed to kick the can down the road to no end
Now a way that McConnell lies to his constituents about how he ‘voted against progressive bills in the senate’ is that he indeed does vote against them but only after he allows democrats to get the bill handed to them where they only need a simple majority to pass. In other words, McConnell sets up the ball for the democrats to hit it out of the park while turning around to his constituents to tell them how he’s playing defense. He’s a liar and a weasel.
The ironic thing is most of these conservative activists held up Mitch McConnell as a model conservative leader and a heroic fighter for conservative causes, BEFORE he was Senate Republican Leader. You can go back and look at all the McConnell threads in the early 2000s when he was McCain's main foe on McCain-Feingold. They LOVED McConnell back then.
Now, supposedly, he's a closet Democrat who hates all conservatives and is an enemy of true patriots everywhere, and must be destroyed.
Gee, good thing they discovered his eeeeeeeeeevil liberal agenda AFTER he was named Republican leader.
