[BIG Snip] "...........McConnells handling of the fiscal crisis underscores the tricky political position he constantly found himself in throughout this fight: He couldnt be seen as undercutting the conservatives in the House, even as he opposed their strategy of using the shutdown as leverage to defund Obamacare.
Asked if the deal would hurt his chances in a primary against conservative businessman Matt Bevin, McConnell declined to comment on his primary. But he offered up a stinging analysis of his Democratic opponent, Grimes.
What happened yesterday completely steps on the whole rationale for her candidacy, which is that somehow Im part of what she calls the dysfunction in Washington, McConnell said. Look, I demonstrated on four occasions including yesterday the most recent occasion, yesterday that when the country is in crisis and something needs to be done on a bipartisan basis, I can step forward and get an agreement.
Grimes, McConnell said, has had a pretty bad 24 hours.........................." [BIG Snip]

Can’t wait for the Gators to kick UK’s ass in basketball......again.
Louisville? Yep, that’s a tough one.
Meanwhile Moveon is already circulating a petition to have Boehner, Cantor and others arrested and tried for sedition.
There is no honor or hope in selling out.

Ben Franklin warned that if we didn’t hang together we’ll all hang separately.
McConnel, McCain and others are running around and measuring necks.
McConnell's comment and the applauders from the House to the caving man Bonehead is in lock step with the tactics of the slimy dems. They always double down when they know they've been utter failures and or have been blatantly caught committing a crime; ie, the Hildahag getting an award from the Adolf obozo after they both committed the Benghazi crime. Just wait, the Adolf obozo will likely present an award to Lois Lerner, not for her but to make himself appear less culpable in those IRS crimes.
DC is proof that corruption begets more corruption.
These are our representatives, Im at a loss for words. They all folded like cheap cameras in ballarina uniforms. Being alone in the middle of a desert at night is more comforting
What Actions? Bringing home $2 billion dollars worth of bacon.
You posted exactly what I was thinking.
“If the people of Ky vote according to who brings home the bacon, hes a shoo-in.”
It sure worked for KKK Byrd in West Virginia!
Louisville? Yep, thats a tough one."
Yeah, how 'bout that preseason coaches poll? Kentucky #1...GO BIG BLUE!!!
Where was Florida? Oh yeah...#8. Predicted to finish second in the SEC...behind the 'Cats...again! WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Billy Donovan wishes he were still in Lexington.
Loserville sucks, and so does Benedict Arnold Pitino. I hope we get the chance to destroy them in the tournament...again.
May McConnell's reelection bid end this spring the same way Loserville's bid to repeat their championship will...in utter, embarrassing, shameful defeat.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
PS...you have to forgive me. As someone who grew up in Lexington, I get a little carried away during basketball season. Cut me, I bleed Kentucky blue.
Vote Democrat and youll get a bigger weasel.
To be honest, I now vote for sport. I don’t think it really matters. I’m a jew in mid-1930’s germany, and 1938’s a comin’.
“I can step forward and get an agreement”
Well or step forward, cave in and get $2 billion in pork for ole Kaintuck.
It would sure get the republicans attention!
People in KY are slow to detect traitors. They are cautious but see government as a force for good.
Kentuckians need to squeeze this bastard till he squeals.
Pardon my language, ma’am.
Traitor. Sold out his country for 30 pieces of silver.
They're a pack of assclowns who gave us the Pillsbury Doughboy minority leader and lamar(!) alexander. But what can you expect from a state that boasts an attraction like Boobland or whatever Dolly Parton's little amusement park is called.
