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.’”

Funny, Mitch does not have this attitude to Harry and Barry. He is always finding new and improved ways to accomodate their demands. When Harry says jump, Mitch asks how high.

This report turned out to be false.
I heard that McConnel while looking so meek is vicious,nasty politically in his campaigning...don’t write this guy off for not being really dirty in the campaign.
The word “bully” has been emptied of its meaning. By definition, a bully has to have more power than his victim. The dems and the Rinos are the ones in power.
That and the fact that he's soft on "comprehensive" immigration reform is why I don't support him anymore despite many good things he's done.
I'm also not trying to bring him down, just not supporting--especially for President.
Yep. And General George Patton's advice:
"Hold the enemy by the nose, and kick him in the pants."
McConnell showing more anger towards members of his own party than the Democrats. Typical beltway RINO.
“We’re going to be very aggressive and we’re going to get in their faces”
Gee, sounds just like a liberal Democrat. Too bad this RINO sh**head couldn’t do that with the Democrats. But the media wouldn’t give them the green light on that. Enjoy your berth on the Titanic, Steve.
Being chinless and spineless is no way to go through life, Mitch.
I’d punch him in the chin, but he doesn’t have one.
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out there. It's wondrous, with rewards to satiate desires both noble and gross. But it's NOT for the timid."

This is why the donks/libs will always win. ALWAYS win. The GOP and Tea Party are FAR more interested in destroying each other than they are in stopping the libs. The donks/libs have absolutely nothing to worry about.
the democRATs dont have that problem because their useful idiot constituents are in line with their tyrannical pupeteers, not so with the republican voter who has no representation
I especially dont like it because it is also bad politics for the people he is trying to win over. He needs paleoconservatives.
I think it is also bad for the general election if he wants to appeal to working people in Ohio and Iowa. As well as blocking Hilary in Kentucky and WV.
I hope this asshole tries this on me. please...
