I understand that you want to vote in a way that upholds your principles, but why would you vote for a candidate who stands for pretty much the exact opposite of those principles? If you don’t want to vote for McConnell, why would you want to vote for Grimes? Would it not be better to vote 3rd party (I don’t know if that option exists in KY) or just vote for neither?

This is easy. McConnell is a back stabber. It is far more important to get rid of traitors than it is to worry about enemies.

McConnell never does anything to advance our principles anyway. At best he is just a seat warmer. We won't be able to tell much difference if the seat is taken by a Democrat, but it is highly important that those seen as deliberately opposing Tea Party Reforms are destroyed.

McConnell chose this fight, now he needs to get taken out. The Tea Party was trod on, and now it needs to bite.

It’s a choice. Grimes stands in front of you to fight, so the fight is on its merits. McConnell stands behind you with a knife, and you know that if you start winning the fight, McConnell will stab you in the back so the other side wins.

Conservatives have reached a point where they have had enough. The conclusion that McConnell behind us is *worse* than a Democrat freshman in front of us is a hard one to make, but it is really that bad.

McConnell has publicly stated that he wants to crush the Tea Party. He is a liberal Republican always willing to “reach out”, whether in the minority or in the majority.

Almost in the same breath he says that after 6 years of Democrats changing all the rules in the senate to make Republicans powerless, then doing HORRIBLE damage to America, that when he is again majority leader, he intends to give the Democrats back all the power they denied the Republicans, so they can *easily* BLOCK Republicans from fixing the disaster.

Is he insane? What compels him to this utter madness?

Anyone who votes for McConnell would hire a repeat, unrepentant, baby-murdering felon as a babysitter. What do you THINK will happen?

Nothing that Grimes can do would be a tenth as destructive to our country as what McConnell regularly does.

The man is a menace.
