There is no mending. McConnell funded those ads in Mississippi accusing the Tea Party of racism. There is no forgiveness. He needs to go.
Be prepared, the GOPe apologists are out in full force today. I think Reince promised extra bonus checks this weekend.
Maceman,
With all due respect, if a person joins the forces of “evil” to help that “evil” defeat the forces of the “insufficiently perfect”, then that person is really NOT promoting “perfection”.
That person is promoting “evil”.
Such people are called “useful idiots” precisely because they do NOT promote the virtue or perfection they imagine. Their actions promote “evil”, just as much as if they were, in fact, well-paid Obama-campaign-funded trolls.
It seems that you are willing to help Obama appoint Eric Holder as our next Supreme Court Justice.
IMHO, you need to ask yourself what “message” THAT tragic defeat for America would convey to patriots — and to the world.
Because we are doing So Well with Republican-Democrats. So which one of Obama's Judicial nominees did McConnell NOT vote for?
“As usual, when a bad guy (McConnell) gets pointed out, and good guys (Tea Party) does something about it, the good guys are suddenly painted as the bad people.”
Take candy from babies and they cry. Sometimes a parent has to do that, or the baby gets sick.
That’s what parenting (leadership) is all about.
You think this is sour grapes? Is that what you call it when a member of your own party deliberately targets you as a racist?
This is way beyond sour grapes, this is a deadly threat to our existence.
It's not about Bevin, it's about McDaniel, and what Mitch McConnell paid for in Mississippi. He put a dagger in our back, and probably cost us that Senate seat as well.
Again, this is not about the primary. This is about McConnell tampering with the Mississippi election in which he paid for ads portraying both Chris McDaniel and Tea Party folk in general as Racists intent on stopping black people from voting.
This was a nuke weapon he launched against us, and he needs to pay for it to discourage others from trying it again.
Then you should be blaming McConnell for making her viable. He is the one who attacked his base, and that was a very stupid thing for him to do.
If the Senate is ran by people opposed to the Tea Party, nothing is going to get solved anyway. It will not advance the cause of conservatism, it will just have our party in power during the collapse.
Had he left it at that you would have a point. He didn't. He attacked us in Mississippi as well. He probably cost us that Senate seat because of his underhanded backstabbing tactic of portraying Tea Party Conservatives as racists who want to prevent black people from voting.
We cannot afford to let McConnell get away with it.
Getting a man who declared war on the Tea Party, who is in the pocket of Wealthy big government donors, who ran racist attack ads against the Tea Party in Mississippi, and who opposes every effort by the Tea Party to reign in big government, who keeps voting for Obama's Judicial nominees, and who never tries to strenuously oppose the Democrats, THAT would be the disaster.
Yeah, let me acquaint you with this attack ad paid for by Mitch McConnell's PAC.
So now what was that you were saying about somebody joining the forces of evil to defeat the less than perfect?
And the democrat in Mississippi is arguably more conservative than McConnel or Cochran
Rhetoric wise
Ugly ad.
How do you “know” it came from McConnell and NOT from Obama?
Please don’t tell me, “Because Obama never lies”.
So you’ll be voting for the Democrat, Alison Grimes. Just want to make sure we have that clear.
We need to figure out with some confidence how many seats we are likely to win, and how many we can strategically lose and still hold the Senate.
We came close to winning the Senate in 2012, but all the Senate races collapsed after the convention. I blame McConnell's failure of leadership for the 2012 Senate losses. He failed to make retaking the Senate a national issue. He failed to get out in front of the news and make the news.
We may never retake the Senate because of McConnell, not due to a McConnell loss.
