And thus they are the problem, not the solution. Astroturf filled with GOP pretending to be TEA party.

When one is quick to back the man that was out to destroy you, by his own words, odds are you were never the opposition to begin with.

Who should they have endorsed after the true conservative they supported was defeated: the Democrat? a third-party candidate? nobody?

Let me begin by saying I'm not a Mitch McConnell fan whatsoever... I think he's an inept party leader who has behaved pretty despicably toward his conservative base. As a result, I harbor quite a bit of animosity toward him.

Yet, like it or not, we are down to a choice of two candidates, bad as they are, between McConnell and radical leftist Allison Grimes. I know some may disagree (and I can certainly respect and understand those who do), but to me it actually makes far more sense to pull the lever for McConnell in November.

Look, even though McConnell is a squishy, wimpy, linguini-spined GOP establishment hack, our #1 mission right now is we MUST take back the Senate. Once we accomplish that, I really do believe McConnell, as Senate Majority Leader, can and will be pressured into taking up votes to pass conservative legislation if he has a solid, increasingly conservative Senate majority behind him that include names such as Cruz, Lee, Paul, Scott, Johnson, Sasse, McDaniel, Earnst, T.W. Shannon, Milton Wolf, and Rubio (his awful immigration stance notwithstanding). A Grimes win in Kentucky not only potentially puts us in jeopardy of falling short of capturing the Senate and keeping that filthy little tyrant Harry Reid in charge, but could also pave the way to begin entrenching a leftist in the Kentucky Senate seat. This is simply not a viable option, in my humble opinion.
