MCCONNELL: TEA PARTY 'BULLIES' WHO NEED PUNCH IN NOSE
Breitbart ^ | November 22, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 11/22/2013 9:34:00 AM PST by Star Traveler

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.’”

Not just a punch in the nose but I would like to see him being kicked in the groin area.

God I love it. Is there a way to download it and print it out to send it to the GOP when they send me request for donations?

I think it is beyond clear that we need to “Ditch Mitch”.

I think it is beyond time to support Matt Bevin:

I see... The TEA party, (Taxed Enough Already), is the bully here? We the Taxpayers of the country are getting raped over and over to pay taxes on this, taxes on that and ‘fees’ up the ying/yang and we are the Bullies?

Fraid not, Senator McConnell, it’s time for pay back. You and yours bullied us first and took all you could from us. Now it’s time for you to get taken to the cleaners.

Punch back with a contribution to the campaign of Matt Bevin. Bevin is opposing McConnell in the Kentucky primary in 2014.

I suggest making the contribution through the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), a group of patriots that McConnell hates. 100% of your contribution through SCF reaches the candidate. SCF was the group that first introduced Ted Cruz to me with their endorsement of Cruz for the U.S. Senate seat in my home state of Texas.

Bullies are strong and their victims are weak.

Mitch lets slip that he thinks the Tea Party is stronger than he is.

I hope the Tea Party punches him in the nose, this next election!

Oh, we will. Sadly, maybe not as successfully as we did with Rand Paul.

I don't know if we can get Bevin the nomination, but there are a lot of us out here that will not vote for McConnell as the lesser of two evils. We aren't voting for Grimes, but we will not assist Mitch (Marshal Pétain) McConnell in his sellout.

Grimes will be (really) bad also, but at least she looks pretty good in tight jeans.

Until the GOPe is firmly convinced that they can no longer force us to vote for them via the lesser of two evils approach, they will continue to defacate on us.

“The original is caps, how did yours get lower case?”

Either they changed it since or it changed itself between copy and paste. I didn’t type it.

Somebody slap McConnell with an FEC suit for trying to use violent means to intimidate a certain segment of voters.

NO. You send them a check for a penny so that it costs them money to process the donation.

Presently I am sending all mail from the GOP asking for donations back with a note...Not until the slamming of the Tea Party stops; that the GOP elites quit their whining and start recognizing the Party of The United States Constitution...i.e., the American Tea Party.

The Tea Party never bullied anyone...criticize yes, but never bullied anyone...! Mitch McConnell, Rove and the Crossroads organization (lobbies) should welcome these good Americans.....as it is, they are the bullies.

Wouldn't it be great to have the TEA Party take total control of the Senate in 2015? The first order of business would be to dissolve every single court in the nation that had a liberal judge (Article III, Section 1), and then re-establish those courts with a conservative judge to go along with every one of them?

The Democrats want to go nuclear? They haven't seen nuclear yet. Do this, and you will get lifetime support from every conservative in America.

Poor old Mitch, Cruz, Lee and the tea party messed up his perfect little world of do nothing, say nothing, accomplish nothing and get rich.
