GOPe IGNORING ALISON GRIMES CRUSHING MCCONNELL IN KY
EEE | 28 JUNE 2014 | EEE

Posted on 06/28/2014 6:09:16 PM PDT by Extremely Extreme Extremist

But wait a minute. We all know that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is invincible and has the good-old boys GOP establishment working 'round-the-clock for him, right? Maybe they'll GOTV among blacks and Democrat voters?

Folks, forget about Mississippi and think about what's occurring in Kentucky for a minute.

Poll after poll after poll finds Mitch behind the 8-ball of his opponent, while he still hasn't made any of his other balls in the pool pocket yet. Grimes is completely running the table, and having shots of Jagermeister with her gal pals.

Granted, these polls are within the margin of error and are several weeks' old. But Mitch is below the magic 50% mark in all of them, and he's behind. That's dangerously low, like sulphuric-acid, fire and brimstone spewing at the Gates of Hades low, for a well-known veteran incumbent like McConnell.

So what does that tell you?

It means that grassroots conservatives are so capital F'ing disgusted with the GOP establishment, the beltway pigs, the K-street Trent Lott and soon to be Eric Cantor lobbyists, the U.S. Chamber of Cronies, and the Karl Roves who can't wait to feed at the trough assuming his guys win the Senate, that many of them are simply shrugging their shoulders and staying home, and saying the Hell with it, I'd rather have the Rat win so we can get this show on the road.

I don't see the Stupid Dumb-Ass Party winning the Senate this year, and the beautiful thing is, they can't blame us mean-old Tea Party wackos. Because Grimes is running a beautiful below-the-radar campaign. Sorry FReepers, I know Grimes is an out-and-out leftist, but props are given where they are due. She's gotten the obligatory endorsements from the unions, feminazis, and pro-baby killers. But remember, Democrats always cast themselves as moderate, middle-class suck-ups prior to the election, so Grimes is getting grimy and visiting an underground coal mine and talking college costs with Fauxhontas from Mass. See, see...she represents the people!

Yes, I know on these issues conservatives should reject the leftist narrative out of hand, but this crap does appeal to the sheeple and LIV, and the GOP is so focused on beating the Tea Party "insurgents," that they're completely ignoring the Democratic candidates in the general election that their pet RINOs will have to face.

McConnell, and possibly Thad Cochran and others, are on par to lose in the general election. The GOP establishment is still hungover at beating back the Tea Party. Like good RINOs, they'll graciously concede to the Democrats, and because they stopped the "insurgent" Tea Party wackos, they'll get rewarded by the leftist Ruling Class.

Those Chihuahuas and Poodles that are in Hollywood starlet's bags as they shop on Rodeo Drive? Yeah, that's the Republicans right now, getting petted by their Democrat valley-girl masters.

I think you wrote a good, knowledgeable essay on the situation in Kentucky.

And the old “So you’re campaigning for the Dem” canard no longer works. Geez, GOPe, let that one rest!


It stopped “working” on me from day one! I’m glad to see the rest of you finally joined me!

I grew up in an extreme liberal/democrat household so I developed a strong resistance to “Progressive Bullshit” at an early age.

You are exactly correct to use the term: purge. The Ruling Class in D.C. from both parties are working TOGETHER to render Conservatism IRRELEVANT in any capacity in politics.

This is because we suffered a COUP - and the GOP-e wants a seat at the table of the New Order that the MarxoFascists have created to rule over us.

That the GOP Ruling Class leadership would use Democrats and take out ads to accuse Conservatives of being racist domestic terrorists - is proof of what we have been screaming about for the last two election cycles.

I’m writing in a Conservative in November and urging Conservatives in KY and MS to do the same. Mitch can pound sand. I loathe him more than I do Obama and Hillary combined.

No, it means you enjoy being dumped on and rained on by your own party.
It floats your boat. The more you get dumped on the more excited you get.


Is that it, Innovative? Do you have a “poop fetish?”

It has been quite obvious, based on the KY and MS primaries, The GOPe’
loathe us just as much.

Yep. The RINO’s campaigned with RATs in MS.

Two can play that game in November.


I won’t vote dem. I’d rather support a well-meaning independent freak than support a f’n commie.

I sure as hell won’t support a RINO.

We can rid ourselves of McConnell and Cochran and be just fine.

I’ve played the “half-a-loaf,” “hold muh nose,” “lesser of two evils,” game since 2000. I’m DONE. If McConnell is helping RINOs win on the backs of Dem voters then there’s no use. Please note that I don’t want conservatives to support Grimes, but Grimes will likely win due to low voter turnout by conservatives and independents in the general election.


The GOPe go damned near nuclear when attacking conservatives. If they gave even half the effort on our the democrats they’d be set for life!

Innovative, nobody seems to be buying your bullshit juice. Tell your GOP masters they screwed up. We’re through with you.

Betrayal of America now from the GOPe.

on illegals...

Deut 28...
54So that the man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he shall leave: 55So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the distress {straitness}, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture {adventure} to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57And toward her young one who cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for lack {want} of all things secretly in the siege and distress{straitness}, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

Once again, that is what happens when you dump and rain on the same
voters you need to win. Did not have to be this way. It could have been a
fair fight and maintained unity. But in the end you reap what you sow.

You were attacking me — are you saying that all the organizations below are “RINO” organizations who don’t understand what conservative means?

All conservative groups who supported McDaniel are accepting the election results: FreedomWorks, Tea Party Express, Cloub for Growth, Tea Party Patriots, Ted Cruz, etc - it’s time to move on and not help the Dems defeat the GOP while waving the conservative flag.

National supporters leaving McDaniel to his own fate

http://www.clarionledger.com/story/dailyledes/2014/06/26/national-support-leaves-mcdaniel/11402881/

Article states (no quote because of copyright) that all conservative groups who supported McDaniel accepted the results of the primary.

Yes, according to you, REAL conservatives are those who want the Dems to win, and “DU trolls” are those who want the Republicans to win.

Your logic makes perfect sense... (/sarc)

‘Wow, surprisingly, you are ignoring the party preferred candidates losing in FL, VA, WI, NM, MA, and ND in 2012.”

And that is exactly why the Dems control the Senate today.

Close, but the only conclusion should be drawn is that Republicans/Conservatives better make sure to turn out to elect the Republican candidates to have any hope of capturing the Senate from the Dems.

The only conclusion that can be drawn from your post is that you, like the GOP establishment, cannot fathom the base being ticked off at the crap the establishment is dishing at conservatives. At some point, conservatives hope the GOPe will do a little listening - but that point apparently is still out of reach.
