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.’”

Sticks and stones....
“Oh, that McConnell is such a macho guy!”
At least we know these ‘Tea Party Bullies’ are real conservatives, and that is a hell of a lot more than we can say about Ms Bitchy McConnell! (Oh, Harry, please let us help you with your agenda!)
I will never ever understand that. Matter of fact, I'm not sure I believe it.
I guess I've been listening to Rummy too much.

So...the Dems love their Dem Base.
And the Repubs hate their Repub Base.
Anybody see the problem here?
In that picture, McCain looks like a wack job; McConnell looks like the Dem’s butt boy; Boner looks like a sell out.

It’s troubling that McConnell is using Reid’s wording. He’s way too gone to the DC ways.
Rand Paul endorsed McC months ago; he is old news too.
He’s dirty though only with conservatives, not Demos. Ditto his stand-by Lamar!
It’s so obvious the GOPe does not want to win. So they won’t. It’s going to be a very frightening time to live in the US after the democrats keep the senate in 2014. Obama will have his last two years free of an opposition, free of any thought of impeachment and his goal of the destruction of the US within sight.
If I thought my retirement checks wouldn’t stop I’d move to South America tomorrow. I really don’t want to be here 2014 through 2016.
Too bad the uninformed in Jefferson County ever elected him county judge. They had no idea what they were doing.
Mitch McC knows how uninformed the people of KY are; that’s why he is unworried about his future.
I wish Bevin could win, but standing in the way is the people of KY, who stick with the status quo over and over.
McConnell hates conservatives. Primary him!
I am with you 100%! After the Tea Party Americans punch this RINO in the nose, then stomp the guts out of him so that he never is allowed to represent the American people again!

That is going to be up to the voters in Kentucky...
I seriously doubt any of them in numbers to make a difference will toss him to the street...
Nor will Arizona take out their trash either...
With what is going on with Texas...I have my doubts about primarying out Cornyn as well...You know, the second most conservative republican in the Senate.../sarc...
Thats what his ads are saying...
It will probably help the Republican cause quite a bit. The conservative cause? Not so much when they start closing their purses to us.
The Republican cause is only to retain the status quo. They’d rather have a Dem elected than a TEA partier.
At least a dem will make deals with them once they become lobbyists.
It’s all about the Benjamins.
Don’t try that in a castle law state. You’ll be deadly sorry..
