Fellow Conservatives:
In a rare moment of candor for a career politician, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told the New York Times last week that his goal is to defeat conservative candidates across the country.
McConnell vowed to "crush them everywhere."
Mitch McConnell believes that if he can defeat conservative candidates, you will give up the fight and stop working with groups like the Senate Conservatives Fund to elect principled leaders to the Senate.
The Times reported that McConnell's goal "is to deny them any Senate primary victories, cut into their fund-raising and diminish them as a future force in Republican politics."
McConnell doesn't want the grassroots to have a say in these elections. Instead, he wants to pick the candidates so he can keep cutting deals with the Democrats to pass bailouts, more debt, higher taxes, and funding for Obamacare.
This is why conservatives must worker harder than ever to nominate principled candidates in the upcoming primary elections.
SARAH PALIN BACKS CONSERVATIVES
Yesterday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed two of the candidates that Mitch McConnell is trying to "crush."
Palin announced her support for college president Ben Sasse in Nebraska and state senator Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.
Sarah Palin (R-AK)Palin called Sasse "a proven problem solver" and credited him with turning around Midland University. She said Sasse "won’t forget who sent him there because his life is firmly grounded in his small town Nebraska roots."
Likewise, Palin praised McDaniel for "fighting for conservative principles in the Mississippi State Senate" and for supporting "a return to the original checks and balances of the Constitution."
Sarah Palin isn't afraid to stand up to the party bosses in Washington and she's been a strong and effective ally in the effort to elect principled leaders.

So give me one good reason why Conservatives in Kentucky shouldn't just vote for the Democrat in the General Election, assuming Mitch "Harry Reid's Bitch" McConnell wins the Republican primary.
If it walks like a Democrat, talks like a Democrat and acts like a Democrat, it's a Democrat, right? Well, Mitch "Harry Reid's Bitch"McConnell is nothing more than a Democrat in RINO clothes.
If he isn't primaried out of office, Mitch "Harry Reid's Bitch "needs to get tossed in the General Election. He serves NO USEFUL PURPOSE to the Republican party in general, or to Conservatives specifically.
Time for Mitch "Harry Reid's Bitch" McConnell to go, one way or another!
To those who'd argue I'm clandestinely advocating for a Democrat Senate, I say BULLSHIT! Nothing will change as long as McConnell's in the Senate Leadership. The Republican Party Leadership is corrupted to it's core. If you want to save the party, you have to cut out the GOP-e like the cancer it is first.
“So give me one good reason why Conservatives in Kentucky shouldn’t just vote for the Democrat in the General Election, assuming Mitch “Harry Reid’s Bitch” McConnell wins the Republican primary.”
I can’t. Because there isn’t one. Personally, I couldn’t vote for a democrat. I would leave my ballot blank, as I did with Scott Brown in 2012. But if the people of Kentucky want to help the nation by removing McConnell from power, I’d have no problem with it.
The republicans in the senate need new leadership one way or the other. And the scheme of these people for decades has been to prevent conservatives from getting nominations, then telling republicans “hey, vote for me, because the democrat’s worse.” In McConnell’s case, the democrat would be “the lesser of two evils.” And that’s certainly saying something!
You are really off base comparing Scott Brown to Mitch McConnell….and Mass to Kentucky. Brown is a good guy in a bad state, and he doens’t always figure out how to handle it. But let me assure you, there never has and never will be a Senator from Massachusetts you will like. Period. Ain’t gonna happen.
As for electing a long time insider scum like McConnell from Kentucky…well that’s a different story. Scott Brown, in one short term, is not what is wrong with Washington. Mitch the bitch is.
“You are really off base comparing Scott Brown to Mitch McConnell….and Mass to Kentucky. Brown is a good guy in a bad state, and he doens’t always figure out how to handle it.”
I wasn’t comparing the two. I was comparing the decision to vote for a democrat or a worthless moderate republican. Given that choice, I left my ballot blank. The people of Kentucky can do what they like.
As for Brown, he is not a good guy. We knew going in that he was no conservative, but he went well over the line to completely distance himself from the very people who helped him succeed in getting into office. AND THEN, last year, when he was deciding whether he was going to run in the special election, there was a party head nomination fight going on, and he told the delegates, that if they didn’t choose his crony, then he wouldn’t run for US Senate. So they chose his crony, AND THE VERY NEXT DAY, Brown announced that he wasn’t running. Total scumbag! And his crony then moved heaven and earth to get Gabriel Gomez, liberal republican, who was in third behind two conservatives, funding, support and the senate nomination.
Brown is out for nothing but power. We know him very well here.
Both McConnell and Boehner have done more than anybody else to the *Dempublican/Repubarat Uniparty* intact than anybody else.
else to keep the...
Thanks for using the term, I've been trying to publicize "Mitch "Harry Reid's Bitch" McConnell" for awhile now.
I personally cannot think of a better term that needs to go viral.
Well I know him a little, and kinda like the guy. But that’s besides the point. He’s the best Senator from Mass in 200 years and there will never be another Senator who is not worse than he is from that godawful state.
It is what it is.
Brown is scum as well, he has gone out of his way a few times to make clear that he his more truly liberal than being a “good guy in a bad state”, he may be better than those he runs against, but he is not a good guy.
I can't believe you can't.
What is your candidate bringing in the polls, 20%? Great, give the seat to the democrat, and we can all celebrate another Christine O’Donnell warm & fuzzy moment.
Yeah, totally corrupt. No doubt about it... he’s really bad news.
Let’s grow up here people. We need to take the senate, not beat up on people who can win.
It’s not whether you are clandestinely advocating for a Democrat Senate or not.
It’s that you’re exhorting Conservatives to vote for a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-Obamacare Democrat.
Still, how's the GOP-e helping solve the very problem you just outlined? They're not. Good post, thanks for your reply.
About 6 months ago, on the coffee table in his office in the Russell Building he had two books. One was Teddy Kennedy’s and one was Harry Reid’s. That, in and of itself, should help with your questions.
Now really, would even a mildly conservative politician have those 2 books on the coffee table in his Senate Office? He's an opportunist, nothing more.
The crux of it to me comes down to the following: I’d prefer Bevins in the Senate over McConnell. However I realistically don’t believe that a go alone Bevins campaign can win against the Dem machine backed Grimes.
So I’d rather not have Bevins as the nominee at the expense of having Grimes in the Senate. Let alone a Dem controlled Senate.
And even under tye scenario where Grimes is going to win, regardless, I also believe that a McConnell-Grimes fight will draw massive amounts of Democrat money to the state (altho notbas much as McConnell-Judd would gave) Thus denying that money to Dems in key GOP races in other states. So even if McConnell is going to lose, it’s better to have him as the nominee so he can suck up as much Dem money as possible, possibly flipping two or three other states to the Republican.
Yes, I’m ignoring McConnells various transgressions in favor of what I consider to be cold hard political mechanics. But as someone else pointed out on a different thread, we’re in the fight of our lives on behalf of Conservatism this year and I don’t see us as having the luxury to play this in other than a cold, hard, political way.
“Now really, would even a mildly conservative politician have those 2 books on the coffee table in his Senate Office? He’s an opportunist, nothing more.”
You’re preaching to the choir. I think he’s intentionally doing whatever he can to prevent a conservative from beating Jean Shaheen, or being swept into the senate in a tidal wave. So if he’s the nominee, either a democrat wins...or a democrat wins.
Not saying this is what happened, but back in college I enjoyed leaving Reagan and Bush/Quayle campaign paraphernalia in the offices of the College Democrats, campus NOW, NAACP, ACLU and Greenpeace ...
While I disagree, I do understand and appreciate your thoughtful reasoning. Likely you've put far more thought into it than most voters so kudos to you. :-)
oh, it’s you….zzzzzz
