BREAKING: Poll confirms that Mitch is in the lead

Friend --

BREAKING: Another poll has confirmed that Mitch is in the lead!

The latest poll released today from Public Policy Polling shows Mitch ahead by 4 points. This is great news for Kentucky and devastating news for Barack Obama and his hand-picked candidate, Alison Lundergan Grimes. (SNIP)

With your continued support, we're confident we can win this race. Together, we can take back the Senate and stop the radical Obama agenda. (SNIP)

(SNIP)

Thanks for your support,

Jesse Benton

Campaign Manager - Team Mitch

Paid For By McConnell Senate Committee '14

“We” is Conservatives - not Party hacks like you who support Statists pretending to be Conservatives for the Primaries and then voting with the Democrats most of the time.

The Purpose of FR is to advance CONSERVATISM which McConnell declared war on and vowed to ‘crush’.

You can say whatever you like about me, I frankly do not care.

Your candidate governs no different than a Leftist and your support of a Statist is not any different than what MarxoFascists do in lockstep with their masters.

Unlike you, we are not beholden to party. We are beholden to principles.

Who is Mitch? Does he have a last name?

69% isn’t very good, but it’s better than the 0.69% we’d get with Grimes.

I don’t much like Mitch for the same reasons many expound here, but the possibility of Grimes getting in and holding the seat for decades is just too frightening to accept. There are bad alternatives, and then there are really bad alternatives. With any luck, McConnell will retire in 6 years, esp. if the KY Tea Party can come up with a strong candidate.

It’s sort of like Obama and Romney: Romney was THE bottom of my GOP choices, but at least his foreign policy would not lead the world to a nuclear war in the future.

Mitch McConnell is a backstabbing lib. He went down to Mississippi to do whatever it took to make sure Sen. Cochran was not a casualty for the GOPe. I really don’t care whether a conservative or dem removes him from office. Anyone who supports the dem-like shenanigans that happened in Mississippi is not a conservative and has never been. He certainly cannot ever be trusted.

Which would you rather have giving Advice and Consent on SC nominees, Grimes or McConnell?

With Reid's change to the filibuster rules for nominations, it doesn't really matter anymore, doesn't it?

We can afford to lose McConnell and still prevent a cloture vote on any nominee.

Unless somebody on our side decides to restore minority rights to the Democrats just when we take over... Now what fool might go on record saying he would do just that?

You're the self-appointed leader of the Ayatollah wing of conservatism; it's the wing that's never read a book by a conservative, thinks Reagan wasn't conservative, and would rather lose than have a nuanced difference on tactics.

You're the self-appointed leader of the Ayatollah wing of conservatism;

I'll take that compliment. Thanks.

See, it's liberals that resort to calling Christians and Conservatives who hold their principles dear and high and refuse to compromise them as a 'Christian Taliban" or the "Bin Laden of the Right Wing".

It's what I expect of them. It's the sign of their hatred for our principles and faith.

As such, I wear insults like that from Leftist scum as a badge of honor.

As I also do from the likes of you.

But yes, I would rather Conservatives win than Republicans, and in cases like the corrupt slime that is Mitch McConnell, I'd rather Grimes get the seat than someone like him remain in it.

See, we Conservatives remember McConnell declared war on us and our principles, vowing to crush us wherever he found us.

I'd rather he lose to anyone than for one who at war with me to be in any kind of position of power and authority.

96% American Conservative Rating

Hate to tell you, but McConnell's lifetime ACU rating is just a tad above 90%. Several senate members have better. Trying to make Mitchy Boy a conservative here just doesn't fly.

The more I see of Grimes and her ads the more I think this is the best (possibly only) argument to support McConnell.

She’s increasingly reminding me of a brunette Mary Landrieu Dumb as a box of rocks but a nice political pedigree courtesy of the corrupt machine Daddy built.

Poison by suicide or a blow to the head. You decide.

Each of them are unfit. Grimes aligns publicly with the Clintons.

Mitch aligns secretly with the Clintons.

Grimes is for everything that is wacked-out. She’ll walk the line as they do over in dem land. Mitch, doesn’t like the base of his party.

The dems want her in because she will be another Sheila Jackson Lee type or say as those other liberal female types. All very witchy, no common sense, out of touch and number one very loyal to that high power position they have. No rocking no boats there so the establishment helps to get them reelected. If he wins, soon he will have to retire. he’s getting old; she’s much younger. I’d hate to vote for him but I wouldn’t support that leftist in this case. It’s your call.

What is the rating of his opponent? This is the problem. I'll take 90% conservative over a 90% liberal.

But you would rather lose and get a 96% liberal than 96% conservative, so that just means you’re foolish, not principled, not effective either.

Elections aren’t football games where you root for your team no matter what. Many people think they are though. This is what is wrong, fundamentally wrong with the American political system currently. We vote for our ‘team’ and not our values. So politicians represent themselves and not the electorate.

Elections are for selecting our representatives and legal executors. Somewhere along the way this was corrupted to voting for a political party rather than our political values. This makes us subservient to the party rather than the politicians subservient to our values.

You’re right. Saying there is no difference between Republicans with 96% conservative rating are no better than Democrats with 90% liberal rating is being doctrinally pure to the point of self-abuse.

There’s no self abuse at all in refusing to endorse or vote for a candidate which does not represent your political values. The abuse comes when you chose to identify with a political party for the sake of “winning” only to end up having your rights, liberties, freedoms and fortune taken from you by politicians under the pretense of lawful representation.
