Seems she is playing the Todd Akin thing again. It worked well for the RATS and probably will work for the Rinos. If Bevin can stay on message and not get tricked by the media I think he will do fine.
Upon what basis did you compile that list?
Incumbents get on the list based on these criteria. Not all apply to all candidates. 1. Is the incumbent up for re-election in this 2014 cycle?
2. Is the incumbent in GOP leadership?
3. Is the incumbent a RINO?
4. Has the incumbent betrayed their Tea party base?
5. Age/mental acuity/energy
For opponents, I've looked for the one who seems best able to energetically articulate a Constitution-based position, who understands the nature of the leftist opposition, who understands that the media are not friends (or even impartial).

OK, IOW it's your own list, which is fine. I was just wondering if it was a citation to an organized effort to coordinate support for specific people.
Yes. I'm sorry I didn't say that. I guess I assumed it was understood. Also, people shouldn't just go by my say-so. Follow the links, read up on the candidates, google around a bit. The list is intended to be a handy starting point for people to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.
The Geriatric Old Party (GOP) must be purged.
Well thanks for doing that. Sal Russo should have done as much long ago.
there is a cure for this Matt Bevin
I meant dam, but hit post, with bridge already typed. But, yes you are correct - a $2B dam.

($127.2K raised so far. Goal is $200K.)
Received this email from the SCF this morning:
SCF endorses Matt Bevin for U.S. Senate in Kentucky.
SCF Senate Update
Fellow Conservatives:
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Republican Leader, has a liberal record and he refuses to fight for our principles.
It’s time to replace him with a true conservative.
We have done everything possible to encourage him to stand up for our values, but he won’t listen.
Mitch McConnell has cut deals with the Democrats to increase the debt limit, raise taxes, and fund Obamacare. He has also supported earmarks, bailouts, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.
After nearly 30 years in Washington, it’s time for a change.
MATT BEVIN FOR U.S. SENATE
We recently asked for your feedback on the Kentucky Senate race and the results were overwhelming. Over 90% of you said we should support Louisville businessman Matt Bevin (R-KY) over Mitch McConnell in the Republican primary.
We heard you and we’re now supporting Matt Bevin.
Matt Bevin is a constitutional conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country. He isn’t afraid to stand up to the Washington establishment and he will do what it takes to stop Obamacare, cut spending, and get the government off our backs.
TAKE ACTION: Support Matt Bevin for U.S. Senate
Matt Bevin supports our conservative policy goals. He is pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-2nd Amendment. He opposes earmarks, bailouts, and amnesty, and he believes the IRS should be abolished and replaced with a simple system that encourages savings and growth.
We have interviewed a lot of candidates this year and Matt Bevin is one of the very best. He’s principled, passionate, and has Ted Cruz-like courage.
And Matt Bevin isn’t just the most principled candidate in this race; he’s also the most electable. Mitch McConnell is unpopular with independent voters and is already polling behind the Democratic candidate. If McConnell is the Republican nominee, he could cost the party the seat and even the majority.
TAKE ACTION TODAY
Please make a contribution to Matt Bevin’s campaign today.
Defeating Mitch McConnell won’t be easy. He has the full support of the Washington establishment and he will do anything to hold on to power.
But we have strength in our numbers and we can help Matt Bevin get his message out if we work together.
When you donate to Matt Bevin’s campaign through SCF, he will receive 100% of your contribution. SCF pays all processing and handling fees.
We need to give him an early boost and send a message to the DC establishment that Americans won’t tolerate leaders who refuse to listen.
Please answer the call today and help us show early strength is this race.
Best regards,
Matt Hoskins
Executive Director

They clearly care less about Kentuckians than they do about their reputation for supporting laughably bad candidates. Now they can add a New England bailout recipient who claims he went to MIT to their roster of notable failures.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
