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.’”

Spineless RINO's like McConnell are the problem with the GOP. He's going down.

Dear mitch,
WE are the TEA Party and guess what. WE don’t like karl rove. WE don’t like your ‘big money donors’, WE don’t like you. And WE vote.

Americans don't like iron curtains!

And we don't appreciate the scorn of our elected public servants.

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

(give it some thought) learn about Bevin.

Thank you. Donating through SCF is a twofer. Not only does the candidate get the money but SCF gains the wherewithal to exert influence over effluents.

Karl Rove and Team Romney threaten the TEA PARTY.

What is new about this?
The GOP backstabbers go after their children, too.

Seems that Mitch McConnell wants to start his very own “knockout game”.

Just another reason to never vote for a repubican elite. McConnell is irrevelant now anyway so what difference does it make? And if the GoP were to get lucky and take over the senate, he’d ask Ried to be co-majority leader.

Couldn’t agree with you more! Poor, Poor pitiful Mitch... If the Tea Party needs a punch in the nose,... I wonder what he thinks the Demofarts needs, especially after yesterday’s vote

What an unscrupulous piece of quivering human flesh
