Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Rove’s Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch … in the nose.”
On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. “The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular,” the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.
But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.
“McConnell said the Tea Party was ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies,’” the source said. “And he said ‘you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do.’”

I wrote and “thanked” him for showing his true colors.
Indeed it is good to have our RINOS exposing themselves early enough for Tea Party Members to support the opposition.... I told him I will be contributing to Matt Bevin.
Bye bye Mitch!
Unfortunately, Ted “The Man” Cruz can’t challenge this worm to a duel, but he should challenge him to a debate. That would be golden.
Because they are his friends; and, if he balks, the media will not label him "statesman".
McConnell is such a wuss. The GOP must have a lock box on balls.
Come 2014 Sen. Mitch will be in for a “big surprise” when conservatives take over the Senate.
What I find most funny is that Mitch is letting a junior Senator in the Senate get to him or bother him. lol. He is the top of the Senate and can’t handle the lowest ranked Senator. That says something about Mitch’s leadership big time.

Mitch “Obammy’s Bitch” McConnell
FUMM!
Bashing ones voting base is epic stupidity.
Might I add, screw “Crossroads”, Rove’s group to whom McConnell was speaking....friendly, anti-TEA audience...
I hope so too! I’ve aleady donated to one of his opponents and hopefully, Kentucky can do to him what we did to Lugar. Except!!!! Hopefully we will retain the seat. Murdock had to go and open his mouth and blow his lead.
Any wonder why Reid is getting away with his unprecedented shenanigans?
McConnell must go!
But concerning Reid, he is no bully?
Any new polling on Bevin vs the Bitch?
Yeah, he really showed that bully reid, mConnell hands over his lunch money at the sight of reid.
I love that teanami pic.
Tea Party, huh?
And yet, Gee whiz, Mr McConnell... I believe it was the Democrats - your buddies, maybe? - who jut shoved it up your ass in the Senate by changing the rules...
The Tea Party can shove it up your RINO asses too ... and we will.
Crotchety old bastid - McConnell, go home.
McConnell didn’t mind the rule change, he said it can be solved with the next election.
