Allahputz at it again.
allahboy confirms his GOPe status.....
Which means it’s McConnell and he loses in Nov. Believe me, I am thrilled to death McConnell will be gone, even if a Dim beats him (we can work on getting that seat back later after the McConnell cancer is gone) but wth is it with Bevin? I mean he’s not even in the same solar system. That sucks.
And as an aide, I simply do not care if a pollster is “left” or “right” leaning. All I care about is track record. Calling them left or right is a 3rd party trying to define them politically.
From the looks of things I would say that the people of Kentucky are stupid beyond my ability to describe stupid.
propaganda so vote fraud can be used to defeat Bevin
Any candidate, whether it’s Bevin (more likely at this point) or McConnel (less likely this point) sometimes, at some point in a campaign, needs to decide (a) if the guy they are running against in their primary is really worse than the guy they would meet in the general election - if they were not in the race, which one would THEY vote for, as well as (b) is their compaign against their opponent in the primary doing greatly less benefit to them than damage it might be doing to their opponent in the primary whom they are trailing; who is getting the most benefit out of their campaign against their opponent in the primary, themself, or the guy they’d maybe face in the general election.
forgive me if I sound like I’m FAVORING McConnel; I’m not, specifically, but I am favoring a GOP win for that seat.
This may be a race where the stuff that goes on in Washington D.C. is less important than the adage that “all politics are local”, and for all those “unprincipled” local parochial reasons and interests, Bevin has not found the message - to that voting constituency - that resonates well enough; and he won’t, unless he can translate his contrast with McConnel in terms of the Washington D.C. scene into local meaning for the voters.
The only poll that counts is the one on election day.
I will say this though, what McConnell is doing is poisoning the well. If it can’t be him it will be the democrat. Whoever that might be.
And the never ending commercials... Well the biggest thing they are accomplishing is the radio and TV stations are losing viewers. I was over at a friends place and one of the commercials came on. Before the music was replaced by the voice my friend had stood up and turned off the TV.
He said “That’s it! I don’t give a damn for TV tonight. Let’s play cards instead. And we did.
Oh by the way, you executives! I went to Sirius/XM No more commercials for me anymore!
The Tea Party needs more of a National, Organized structure and this whole mess proves why.
McConnell has caved with Boehner over and over again. Every time he did, people here were like “we will defeat you and teach you a lesson for turning your back on conservatives”. Then the primaries come, no serious challenge is made, he gets the nod and we either get stuck with the RINO again or he gets replaced by a liberal or liberal-disguised as some moderate.
Folks, how many conservatives make up this country. At least 100,000,000?
Why is it that when work must be done and candidates must be vetted, nobody ever wants to do the hard work? Some unknown enters the ring and people just coalesce around them, until something shows things may not be right. Bevins supported TARP? Really, now, we’re going to go replace the Amensty-Caving-Establishment RINO leader and trust a guy that supported TARP? Are you kidding me? This is the best KY can do? A state that is red every General Election? Really?
Or like in AR where Cotton is running for Senate. He caved on the debt vote, but now AR voters are going to reward him by sending him to the RINO Senate? Really, how do you think he’s going to vote on debt ceilings in the future?
Ted Cruz is a prime example of getting an unknown Elected on a limited budget. It requires charisma, integrity, and a connection to voters that establishes Trust. The easy way out of doing the hard work is for people to say “Oh I don’t have the money, it’s too expensive”. A political candidate that can articulate their message on point that reasonates with the voters will trump money any day.
The problem is this vetting should have started long ago. Like right after the 2012 Election. Otherwise, who are we replacing the RINOs with? More RINOs. Or worse, a candidate ill-equipped at handling the media (IN, DE, MO, etc) and communicating their message to the voters effectively?
No more RINOs and no more dark horse candidates who fail at charisma and getting their message across effectively and lack the conservative track record to instill some kind of trust.
I wish Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin would take a huge chunk of money, donate it to a place like Hillsdale for the Establishment of the Ronald Wilson Reagan School of Political Communication, which could serve as a training ground for how to train conservatives to run for office, articulate message, and deal with the media.
