>> 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.) <<

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.

Just a few days ago I was reading how conservatives would say that the GOP’s problem was that Senate leader Howard Baker compromised too much with Democrats, so we needed someone firm like Bob Dole; then we needed to get rid of Dole and get someone strong like Trent Lott; then we needed to get rid of Lott and get a principled conservative like Bill Frist; then we needed to drop Frist and replace him with someone who would stand up to Democrats like Mitch McConnell ... you get the picture.

The GOP leader in the Senate will never be perfect, and he usually will compromise more than we would like from our couches at home, particularly when the Democrats are in the majority. While I would prefer someone like Jeff Sessions presiding over the Senate, I’m afraid that even Sessions soon would be labeled a RINO because he didn’t defund the Executive Branch or something.

"We are going to crush them everywhere," McConnell said. "I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country."

His own words. He declared war on Conservatives. He works behind the scenes to sabotage us, punish and trash groups who dare to try and hold him to account.

McConnell is no Conservative - he's a Ruling Class stooge and hack for the MarxoFascist regime that conquered this country in a velvet coup. Watch what he does to help cram Amnesty down our throats. You'll see. But even then, you will refuse to acknowledge it.

He's Harry Reid's 'Yes Man'.

With so-called "leaders" like McConnell, who needs enemies?
