Republican Senate Candidate Matt Bevin Outlines Key Differences With Mitch McConnell
WFPL ^ | 1/9/14 | PHILLIP M. BAILEY

Saying the Republican Party needs to adopt a new vision, U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin is hoping to shift Kentucky's race to issues, rather than surface-level politics and attacks.

The Tea Party-backed Bevin has often given speeches focusing on policy, and he decried Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes for failing to discuss them in-depth.

"The sad truth is that while this campaign has been going on we have been speaking in-dept about the issues that truly matter as we travel around the state. But both Mitch McConnell and Alison Lundergan Grimes have been avoiding the issues that are before us," says Bevin.

"These are serious issues and these are serious times, and yet both of my opponents in this race are acting like this is a race for 8th grade class president, not for U.S. Senate representing Kentucky.

The Bevin campaign is hitting its stride. We could actually unseat McConnell and save this seat from turning blue. Matt Bevin must win!

Mitch McConnell’s silly ads are starting to backfire now.

A Bevin PRIMARY win against Mitch “Reid’s Bitch” McConnell would prove to the establishment elitist pubbies that the Tea Party IS IN CHARGE. Send Matt a few bucks if you can.

Got a couple of questions: Is Matt Bevin McConnell’s only challenger in the Primary? If not, is a run-off required if no one gets 50%? Anytime an incumbent is in a run-off, he/she is in deep doo doo.

I decided Matt bevin was no lightweight fly-by-night contender when he overwhelmingly won a straw poll in an important KY county early last month.

I agree that upending McConnell will be a nail in the coffin of the GOPe and will blaze a tsunami victory over democrats in this November in the general.

Mitch hates his voters and wants to “punch them in the nose”.

I hear Sun City is a nice place for old RINOs

Unfortunately he had about 30 grand cash on hand last I checked and McConnell had almost $4million .Same thing with Cornyn in Texas.The RINOs are very well funded.

We are heading for civil war II. This time, no forgiveness, no allowance to let left wingers stay in America. They all leave, either voluntarily or in a box.

Buckwheat has already set plans to murder 60 million seniors with the transfer of 640 billion from Medicare to Medicaid. Time to rock ‘n roll and start killing these Nazis.
