Naral (nation abortion rights action league) gives Mitch McConnell a 0% rating. His entire career, given all his other faults, is pro-life.

To knowlingly put in a known late term abortion supporter would be a violation of everything a conservative has ever believed.

Besides, how many US Senate seats can we give up and still have a republican majority? Last I heard, we need 6 and 6 is going to be hard to get. Let McConnell lose, and we’ll need 7. Where is that 7th coming from?

Not a chance. The bulk of our citizens are currently only interested in what is best for themselves, and what the government will give them.

Then how do explain this FR thread from 3 days ago?

Are you seriously wanting to turn a House seat over to the Democrats, just because your guy didn’t get the nomination?

Nope, however, I do want him to lose because he declared war on the Tea-Party and he is an obstacle to conservative governance in the Senate, basically, a rubber-stamp of Chamber-of-Commerce, and in some ways, Obama's agenda.

That makes him my enemy.

And yet, given that McConnell will vote for Amnesty when it rears it's ugly head in the Senate again, and you know it will and he will, all of that will be meaningless because that single action will destroy any chance at conservative governance for generations, and therefore, will destroy our country.

So what? Abortion is being decided primarily by the SC, not legislation. And what good would a 51 Senate majority do against pResidential veto?

Besides, how many US Senate seats can we give up and still have a republican majority? Last I heard, we need 6 and 6 is going to be hard to get.

This is the perfect time to oust the turtle. Obammy's waning influence and congressional gridlock make the risk worth taking to get rid of GOP-e scum like Mitch.

How will we ever get this country back with that kind of thinking?

How will we ever get this country back with folks like McConnell in power?

If we don’t have the Senate, then it doesn’t matter what McConnell votes for. And if we give away the senate seat from Kentucky, then we won’t win the Senate anyway.

So...damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

At that point, you fall back on other basic conservatism that is vital. There is nothing more vital than pro-life.

Owning the Senate will at least give a chance for holding the pro-life line until we’re rid of Obama.

This is war. If the enemy wants to abort their future, so be it.

Abortion brings God’s judgment on the entire nation. It is best to do what we can to stay that hand of judgment, to fight for the lives of these innocent babies.

A “Poll”? Really?

Grasp at anything that will preclude the necessary course(s) of action. That’s fine by me. Our Founding Fathers warned us of what we could face in the future and gave us an “out” in our Bill of Rights.

No sane person wishes to proceed on that course, but it was put there for good reason and explained to us very clearly. Consider historical precedents and I believe the remedy is clear, yet difficult and costly and consists of great sacrifice to those who are willing to continue the Republic as envisioned.

The alternative is infinitely worse, IMO.

(LiveActionNews) — There has been some confusion recently regarding Kentucky U.S. Senate hopeful Alison Lundergan Grimes and her views on late-term abortion. Lundergan Grimes is endorsed by EMILY’s List, which “ignite[s] change by getting pro-choice Democratic women elected to office.” Karen Cross, the political director for National Right to Life, warns however, just how extreme EMILY’s List is:

EMILY’s List is a radical pro-abortion group which supports Democratic women candidates who support abortion on demand, partial-birth abortion and using your tax dollars to pay for abortion.

Voters should tell Mitch that he will have to promise to give up his “leadership role” or they’ll vote for the REAL Democrat.

Sorry, I want both.

Destroy the fake Republican leadership that is bound and determined to destroy this country and destroy abortion.

With McConnell, we really don't get either.

Grimes would be a disaster in the Senate.

God thinks going into debt is stupid.

God thinks killing babies is EVIL.

I said most of the electorate is fed up. You said , No, most are leaches (paraphrasing). We’ll see in November.

You have a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

We suffered a velvet coup dude.

It doesn’t matter who controls the Senate or the House.

We live in a post-Constitutional Dictatorship led by a Ruling Class oligarchy about to take a dramatic turn for the horrific.

What is it about this reality you cannot comprehend?

Better the enemy you know than the one who pretends to be your leader and helps slit your throat while you sleep in his camp.

You are not listening.

With McConnell and his cronies in leadership positions, Amnesty will be granted, the Democrats will win, and no further anti-abortion laws will pass.

You DO NOT stay God's hand of judgment with the Democrats in charge, period.
