McConnell, Grimes lead in separate polls
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 10/6/14 | Steve Doty

Two recent polls released in Kentucky show the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes tightening in the final month.

On Monday, a Bluegrass poll showed Grimes with a two-point advantage over McConnell, 46 to 44 percent. Those numbers are within the poll's margin of error, however they represent a positive swing for Democrats in recent weeks.

Over the weekend, a New York Times/CBS/Yougov poll showed McConnell holding a six-point lead over Grimes, 47 to 41 percent.

The race in Kentucky could determine control of the Senate as Republicans look to gain six seats to control the upper chamber.

There is nothing more loathsome and evil than betrayal by a traitor from within your own cause pretending to be one of you and yet aiding and abetting the enemy in secret.

There is nothing more loathsome and evil than a person engaged in the willful destruction of a country built by our forebearers and that we have, since birth, loved and defended.

Despicable and reptilian as they might be, McConnell, Cochrane and Barbour are not actively engaged in such behavior and are, at worst, accomplices in the crimes being undertaken.

On the other hand, Barack Hussein Obama, Harry Reid and their ilk have planned the destruction of the USA and actively worked toward that end. Their's is the true evil and I am appalled that any FReeper would elevate the two-bit crimes of McConnell, et al above their's.

Makes them no different than Obama/Reid and the MarxoFascists.

That anyone would vote for them and threaten, intimidate and attempt to shame others into voting for them is just as complicit in the destruction of the country and Conservatism as Obama and his ilk are.

Sin is sin, lawlessness is lawlessness. I don't compartmentalize and issue degrees of evil as being better than another kind of evil. It's all the same.

This has nothing to do with your vote. It's your judgment that is at issue.

In which case, then, you really should take some time to study and contemplate the nature of evil; learn to distinguish the difference between true evil and petty corruption.

There were hanging trees and whipping posts, ffor a reason...r

I judge sin and wickedness based on how God defines it in scripture. I’m not interested in how men categorize and rank evil.

That you would try to justify intimidating others to vote for corrupt men because you see them as less corrupt and evil as another speaks to your lack of character. The GOP is filled with people like you, and explains perfectly the why of the last 20 years.

As to judgement, my vote goes to a Conservative, one who did not declare war against me and vow to ‘crush’ me wherever I am found.

What opposition???

Senator Ted Cruz, for one. I see far too many Obama supporters here lately masquerading as conservatives when all they advocate is defeating Republicans to ensure Obama has more power. It is as if they have followed a great deception.

You really need to keep your thoughts to yourself so people won’t know just how ignorant you are.

And here we see liberal fascism at work; no, I reject your ungodly faux conservativism. I will not betray this country to support Obama.

There you go. When you don’t have an intelligent reply, resort to name calling and defamation.

Why is it that the RINO lovers on this website can never come back with a sensible, intelligent reply? (I don't have to name them; everyone knows who they are.) All they can do is start calling people a "liberal Democrat", a "troll", a "fascist".... Have any of them ever carried on an intelligent dialogue in their lives? Some of us are merely trying to purge the GOP of the sorry a** RINOs, like Mitch McConnell, because they won't stand up to Hussein Obama and Dingy Harry Reid. I'll never forget about a year ago after a cloture vote, that was definitely NOT in our favor, a reporter asked Mitch McConnell if he was "angry". Mitch McConnell's reply was: "This is not a day to be angry; this is a day to be sad." WTF??? "A day to be sad"? Oh my God.... grow a pair dude!

There is nothing you can write to persuade me to provide electoral support for Obama and his party of ungodly (there is a Biblical word that fits well here). When you ignorantly replied in post 178 you did not know I don't own dogs nor speak your a pit bull dialect.

The Great Deception has been the GOP Ruling Class masquerading as Conservatives, and threatening and insulting Conservatives into voting for them….yet again.

I see no "Obama supporters" here, I read pissed off Conservatives who understand the GOP is at war with them and are THROUGH with supporting traitors to our cause simply due the letter after their last name.

Voting for democrats is not a “principled stand”, it is assinine support for Marxists. Don’t vote, write in your choice, vote libertarian but a vote for a democrat is jaw droppingly stupid.

Question vet81, if the Republicans take the senate what exactly do you think they will do to stop obama from obtaining more power?

From what I have seen obama does what obama wants too and the Republican establishment has been content to let him do so.

Question vet81, the Republicans with help from us conservatives gave the Republicans the House in 2010, what have they done with that gift?

We WILL remember you when the Harry Reid is again the Leader of the Senate...we WILL remember.

Annie this comment shows you are a Republican first and foremost, where your loyalties lie and your “conservative principles” are for sale the only question is the price tag.

“we will remember” now if you are truly conservative you should already be furious about the sellouts leading the Republican party. If you are a Party Girl then this comment makes perfect sense.

My next question is so you will remember, what’s next is the Party going to close the flap to the big tent? How do you propose to win when at that point unless you go even further left than the out of the closet democrat socialist?

Likewise, there is nothing you can write to persuade me and other Conservatives to vote for people and a party that have declared war on us, vowed to crush us, promised to make sure we could never run a Conservative candidate on the ballot anywhere in the country - and whom enabled the very ‘unGodly’ party and their fuhrer to establish a MarxoFascist dictatorship over us.

Voting for Liberal Leftist Oligarchs will establish a Liberal Leftist Oligarchy, REGARDLESS of what letter they have after their names.

Hopefully and prayerfully not. He deserves to be tossed out for treason to Conservatives by any means possible, even if the Obama stooge takes the seat.

We will not support a traitor who declared war on his own base and has worked to sabotage and render them politically-irrelevant.

Question vet81, if the Republicans take the senate what exactly do you think they will do to stop obama from obtaining more power?

Vet, hold, and block judicial nominees to the Supreme Court that would proceed with a Democrat Senate under current rules.

From what I have seen obama does what obama wants too and the Republican establishment Democrat Senate and Indepents/Libertarians have been content to let him do so.

Question vet81, the Republicans with help from us conservatives gave the Republicans the House in 2010, what have they done with that gift?

I don't think a single Pelosi bill has passed the House since. If we held either chamber in 2008 Obamacare would not be the law of the land and millions of young adults would be supporting themselves instead of living in their parents' basements.

Call, write, or meet Sen Ted Cruz (R) and ask him if you should vote Rebuplican in the midterm elections. If you are a genuine conservative and loyal American you will follow Ted Cruz' leadership and counsel.

If Ted Cruz would ask any Conservative to betray their conscience and their principles to vote for a man who declared war on us (and him) and vowed to crush us, punch us in the nose and ensure we could never again field a candidate in any state, then Cruz is no one I would follow and I would not consider his form of "Conservatism" worth more than a cup of warm spit.

The Republican leadership declared this war on us, and are actively engaged in acting upon their demonization and threats.

Anyone that advocates that we should surrender our principles for the sake of electing Republicans is NO CONSERVATIVE in my book.

At best they are pragmatic opportunists who will fold their principles to the enemy at the first sign of conflict.

It is interesting that Loyalists to the Oligarchy and Party are so adamant that Conservatives surrender their principles and support the oligarchy and party or get BLAMED for everything bad that happens as a result of the Ruling Class.

NEVER do party loyalists and hacks for the oligarchy ever put the onus on the Leadership to surrender to Conservatives, instead they demand we support the traitors to our cause.

Go pander to Mexicans and 'Moderates' for whatever your party and people need to "win". I'm done with them.
