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.’”

And the GOP is the 500 lb gorilla, not the Tea Party. McConnell is an idiot.
Never assume the GOP can’t screw up the midterm elections.
McConnell and Bonehead would lose a sure thing
They need to run ads with this quote and the RINO Main Street gangmember who said he was going to beat the snot out of non-establishment Republicans.
“Hopefully we’ll go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them,” said former Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio, whose new political group, Defending Main Street, aims to raise $8 million to fend off tea-party challenges against more mainstream Republican incumbents. “We’re going to be very aggressive and we’re going to get in their faces
Sounds like they are reading from the same script. How does Rand Paul feel?
Neither do I.
Point is, he’s flipping US the finger. The Dems are the enemy. He needs to remember that. Every one of those damned RINO asswipes needs to remember it.
Typical quisling RINO. He can’t muster any sort of courage when it comes to fighting the DemoSocialists, but reserves his vitriol for patriots who love America and the Constitution.
I read somewhere that his response to Reid’s change of the Senate rules was, “It’s time to be sad.”
WTF?
FUMM!!
I've come to the conclusion that it's too late for even that. The whole system is putrefied beyond all recognition. We don't even have the semblance of the system the Framers put in place any longer.
I'm now of a mind that the whole game of U.S. politics is a fruitless, useless exercise, that is merely treating constitutional conservatives, patriots, and ordinary Americans as pawns in a larger game.
I think we're wasting our time even discussing the rotten corpse we call national politics. It's time to make a radical change in direction, if we truly want to save the essence of America. I say that it's time to withdraw all support and allegiance to the monstrous leviathan that has usurped and replaced our government. We need to pick up what's left of our America and go our own way.
If we take the presidency in 2017, along with the House, and a majority in the Senate, we will be able to repeal Obamacare. But first Mitch would rescind the "nuclear option." Who can doubt that, now?
Now you done it!
Mr. McConnell, I know you were trying to impress your fellow Calicified Paleo-Rinos like McCain with your careless remarks, but you sir, have just kicked the hive full of Tea Party
Killer Bee Voters, you then poked a hole in that buzzing hive with a sharp stick. There will be repercussions.
We will see who the real Wacko Birds are, won’t we??
Mcconell does not believe in fundamental transformation.... Like the Tea Party does. Tea Party members are going to fundamentally transform Washington DC. It will be transformed from its current state which is a wealth transfer factory that transfers wealth from one sector of society to another and one generation to another generation and transform it into a constitutionally sound government entity. If that makes me a bully then Mitch McConnell better give up the milk money
Well, well, well, now we know the Money behind Mitch LOL. I had suspected the stench of Rove.
updated tagline to reflect my new bully status
the tea party is a bully, but the marxist dems are...what...your friends?
i don’t get it Kentucky. how do you vote for this guy in the first place? is he just flat out going for the dem vote now (is this an open primary?).
it’s a complete mystery to me why every conservative republican has not deserted the r for rove party before now.
The Cook County Machine came to Kentucky in 2011. it took over the Yellow Dog Democrat machine.
Nearly every Conservative lost his election in 2012.
McConnell is very likely not going anywhere, and he knows it - which is why he is willing and able to threaten Conservatives and the TEA Party without fear of losing his seat.
His only real fear is the Democrat in the General - but considering his fellatio of Obama’s agenda - the Regime might prefer him to be where he is.
I’ve said it a thousand times - we have seen our last free, open and honest national or nationally-impacted elections.
We went Soviet. Learn the history.

And right there is the WHOLE TRUTH if anyone cares to know it.
Understand totalitarian regimes however. The moment you withdraw, the moment you refuse to comply, the moment you resist - will be met with brutal action by the Beast against you and yours.
Understand what time it is.
Your survival is going to depend on it, because the lessons of history teach us that what comes soon - is mass graves and genocide as state-created misery manifests it's own event.
