Sarah Palin vs. Mitch McConnell (Senate Conservatives Fund email)
senateconservatives.com ^ | 3/14/14

Posted on 03/14/2014 6:46:31 AM PDT by cotton1706

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.

I can’t believe Mitch McConnell said that.

McConnell has done as good a job as one can do given the circumstances of us not having control of the Senate.

A vote for anyone but Mitch is a vote for the democrat.

If Mitch bothers you, then oust him once we have a Senate majority. Makes no sense to give the seat to a democrat.

“I can’t believe Mitch McConnell said that.”

Well he did. He has not done a good job. He has undermined conservatives in both the house and the senate at every turn. He has tried to pack the senate with moderate or liberal go along republicans, or has protected those that are there.

It is Mitch McConnell who will be giving the seat to a democrat. If he is the nominee, he will lose in November. And frankly, Mitch knows it and he doesn’t care. His mission is to keep conservatives from getting into the senate.

WE are trying to preserve the seat for the republicans by supporting Matt Bevin. And either way, with McConnell removed, the republicans in the senate will get a better leader than piss-poor, backstabbing, insidious, scheming leader that McConnell has been.

Does that mean you don't support Matt Bevin?

"McConnell has done as good a job as one can do given the circumstances of us not having control of the Senate." REALLY?

McConnell has not used his position to even articulate how evil Reid and reid's positions and tactics are as Reid continues to attack Americans from the legal bunker of the Senate floor.

Au contraire. Have you noticed that 0bama has now unilaterally (lawlessly) delayed/repealed his own signature legislation that Ted Cruz conducted a filibuster about, and that 0bama chose to "shut down" the government over, rather than concede to what he just did a few months later all on his own?

My question: Where was Mitch during all of this?! How did he vote and lead as Senate Minority Leader?

I’m starting to suspect you a McConnell staffer. Mitch’s constant undermining and attacking conservatives is unacceptable. Time for that entrenched RINO who’s more worried about his own job then the prosperity of the nation, to take a hike. Go Bevin!

Mitch McConnell operates in the shadows. He’s been behind every immigration push since Reagan. Only he votes based on which way the wind blows. He is NOT a Conservative. He’s far from it.

“I can’t believe Mitch McConnell said that.”

I can. It is the most honest thing that has come out of his mouth in a long time.

“McConnell has done as good a job as one can do given the circumstances of us not having control of the Senate.”

Right. Clearing the decks for Harry Reid to further AMNESTY, OBAMACARE and blowing a hole in the Debt Ceiling while stabbing our Military and Vets in the back. Nice job!

“A vote for anyone but Mitch is a vote for the democrat.”

Voting for Mitch is just the same as voting for a RAT. Fixed it.

“If Mitch bothers you, then oust him once we have a Senate majority. Makes no sense to give the seat to a democrat.”

Mitch McConnell has demonstrated beyond any doubt that he has no guiding principles other than to remain in office. Better to replace him with a principled Conservative while we create a Conservative Majority in the Senate.

“For The Children”, of course.

That’s funny. Sure didn’t stop Schumer and the Democrats from disrupting everything last time the Democrats were in the minority.

A very interesting related side story ...

"The point is this: If we don't get new Republican leadership in Washington, clean out these consultants, clean out these Republican institutions, and put in some fresh people, new people, solid people who are really concerned about the country, really concerned about winning, this is the sort of sleazy crap that's going to go on."

REAGAN SAID IT..
"if you don't vote conservative everytime (in Wdc), you'll become a liberal."
Mitch *the Reid's *itch* McConnell, has been convorting (very well worn) w/the Senate whores too long in Wdc.

Sarah could really stir things up if she would denounce "Wacko bird" McCain. I know she feels loyalty to him, but it's time to move on. It would say a lot to just come out and say it........"I choose Cruzzzz!!!!!

I think it would show she is serious about fixing the country more than getting on TV. The detractors would throw her under the bus, but riding the fence just gets you splinters. How can she go after McConnell and leave out McCain?
