Lexington Herald-Leader ^ | August 30, 2014 | Sam Youngman

Posted on 08/31/2014 10:50:02 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

The re-election campaign of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has gained momentum in the last month, propelled by huge leads over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in Western and Eastern Kentucky and among men, according to a new Bluegrass Poll.

With less than 10 weeks until Election Day, the poll of 569 likely voters shows McConnell with a 4-point lead over Grimes, up from a 2 point margin a month ago. McConnell now leads Grimes 46 percent to 42 percent...

No.

You are responsible for what you allow your leadership to do. You own it. Lock, stock, and barrel.

They represent you, or you wouldn't allow them to. You would either fire them, or walk away in disgust.

Your leadership does what you permit. Nothing more, nothing less.

These are the people that you insist conservatives vote for... or go to concentration camps or something....

What they say and what they actually do are mutually exclusive.

Anti-Amnesty??? Don’t make me laugh. It is common knowledge that the GOP is beholden to the Chamber of Crony Fascism.

“Traditional Marriage’? **crickets** when a federal judge struck down our laws upholding biblical marriage.

Repeal ObamaCare? You mean “root and branch”? McConnell does not even mention ObamaCare anymore and the rest of the GOP leadership says “It’s law and here to stay - get over it’.

About the ONLY thing the GOP leadership has made good on in terms of rhetoric, is when McConnell said they were at war with Conservatives and vowed to ‘crush them wherever we find them’.

THAT has fruit and evidence of a promise they made good on.

The rest?

Not so much.

I REJECT YOUR ASSERTION !

With such unethical tactics as the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" are using, such as "Open Primaries" and "Outright and Unabashed Lying" about their challengers from their own party,
we MUST use ANY MEANS NECESSARY and ALL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE to rid ourselves, and our party, of such filthy, back-stabbing trash as Thad Cochran and Mich McConnell.

I'll use every opportunity I get to send ANY AND ALL "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" to the "retired/unemployed" and "EXPOSED AND SHAMED" categories.

I DISAGREE!

Sometimes, THE ONLY WAY TO WAKE UP THE SLEEPING REPUBLICAN VOTERS, the ones who don't pay attention to whats going on, is to yank the rug out from under their feet, and slam their bottoms into the floor, by throwing out their manipulative liar that they're use to voting for.

NO MORE!
The GOP has taught me very well ~

No, it most certainly is NOT !
You need to take the "Rose Colored Glasses off your eyes" and deal with reality.
The "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" are just as responsible for NOT USING EVERY OUNCE OF POLITICAL POWER THEY HAVE to STOP this MORPHING of our government INTO FASCISM !
Yes, they most certainly ARE every bit "JUST AS RESPONSIBLE" .
And pretending to be against it, when they had the power to stop it "BY REFUSING CLOSURE", does NOT RELIEVE THEM of their part of the blame.WRONG!
They most certainly DO DESERVE IT.
That's WHY we're THROWING THEM OUT by ANY AND ALL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE !

Hey, man, if you don't want to get caught with your britches down in the middle of an argument...

"And no, I don’t think I’m where you were at when you were in your twenties. You were a sheep and now you’re a radical — both ignorant positions. I’m well ahead of you."

And yet I still hear the "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" noise coming from your direction. You'll grow up one of these days, hopefully.

What part of the democrats winning the Presidency, the senate and the press don't you understand? There are real consequences to losing elections, and we have seen them played out since 2008, big time. Having been through a few elections cycles myself, FDR to Obama, a few things have become self evident regarding our two party system. It's what we have. It's what we will still have after the election's this November.

Personally, I would rather see fewer democrats than republicans, but I guess by your standards I'm too inexperienced to visualize perfect political scenarios. Pipe dreams seldom come true.

Look who's back. The Mississippi Elected Official (the one who refuses to reveal his name, lest he endure the wrath of his constituents) who condones the mass-scale election fraud of Thad the Cad Cochran's Senate farce and attacks those that don't support the criminal conduct of him and his benefactors. I'll yield to you on the subject of stolen elections, but otherwise you have ZERO credibility talking about much of anything else. You can take your Democrat leftists pretending to be Republicans you love and worship and shove 'em straight up your kiester.

it is already dismissed with a foot note about how the opposition might be used to win a tight race.

Well, you said you were.

And if you guys keep calling them liars, that's exactly what you'll do.

...the poll of 569 likely voters shows McConnell with a 4-point lead over Grimes....

A man who has been in Washington since Noah got off the ARK, is the Senate Minority Leader from a very Red State is only 4 points ahead and can't even break 50 percent? McConnell 46 and 42 Grimes = 88%. So, apparently 12 percent are undecided. The "undecided" vote always goes to the challenger by 80 percent. So, I hope they keep printing polls like this. Let the Conservative-hating, RINO s.o.b. think he has a "huge" lead. That way, his loss on Nov.4th will be even more heartbreaking.

Ads for who? McConnell or Grimes?

Both, but mostly McConnell until the last day or two. I suppose they let up because of the lead.
