Lexington Herald-Leader ^ | August 30, 2014 | Sam Youngman

Posted on 08/31/2014 10:50:02 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

The re-election campaign of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has gained momentum in the last month, propelled by huge leads over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in Western and Eastern Kentucky and among men, according to a new Bluegrass Poll.

With less than 10 weeks until Election Day, the poll of 569 likely voters shows McConnell with a 4-point lead over Grimes, up from a 2 point margin a month ago. McConnell now leads Grimes 46 percent to 42 percent...

No, you either MISREAD it, and ASSUMED that's what I said;
or ... you are intentionally trying to mislead others into THINKING I said that.

Read it again.

Whoa, calm down there cowboy...here's what you quoted me as saying:

>> The elected RINOs and wimpy conservatives ARE responsible for the mess, the voters have written conservative platforms ....That's two markedly different groups of people at opposite ends of the scale...You're placing blame on them for something they don't deserve.<<

And then you whacked out and said:

>> WRONG! They most certainly DO DESERVE IT. That's WHY we're THROWING THEM OUT by ANY AND ALL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE ! <<

So if you re-read my initial comment (which was not directed at you) you can see that I named two distinct groups: RINOs/wimpy conservatives, and Republican voters.

And you lumped them together, blaming those who drafted the conservative platform for the criminality of the RINOs. And so does "that other guy".

I'm not assuming anything, but I am reading verbatim (that means word-for-word) your poorly thought out response.

But you could be right. I'm assuming you're assuming that I was assuming something that I wasn't....assuming.

I said:

...the voters have written conservative platforms....That's two markedly different groups of people at opposite ends of the scale. You're placing blame on them for something they don't deserve.

Then you said, AND I QUOTE:

WRONG! They most certainly DO DESERVE IT.

You indicated that I should "...take the Rose Colored Glasses off your eyes and deal with reality."

You need to PUT ON your glasses and read what is written, before you go all schizophrenic, and start screaming and accusing me of something I never said.

Capiche?

Stick it in you ~ ear!

I say again:
No, it most certainly is NOT !
You need to take the "Rose Colored Glasses off your eyes" and deal with reality.
The "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" are just as responsible for NOT USING EVERY OUNCE OF POLITICAL POWER THEY HAVE to STOP this MORPHING of our government INTO FASCISM !
Yes, they most certainly ARE every bit "JUST AS RESPONSIBLE" .
And pretending to be against it, when they had the power to stop it "BY REFUSING CLOSURE", does NOT RELIEVE THEM of their part of the blame.
WRONG!
They most certainly DO DESERVE IT.
That's WHY we're THROWING THEM OUT by ANY AND ALL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE !

Is English your second language? How can you possibly confuse the voters with the elected miscreants?

Lemme boil it down even further, and in large type:

VOTERS ARE CONSERVATIVE...but...YOU BLAME THEM!

In that quote, did I not just say they are responsible, HTML-boy? Where did I EVER say let them off the hook?

In my original post, I described two totally opposite groups:

1. Office holders....responsible.
2. Platform drafting voters...NOT responsible

Two distinctly different groups...but YOU continually lump them together.

Stop insulting me just because you can’t get this through your cement block skull.

You are wrong.

The whole point of the TEA Party movement was to bring conservative influence to politics. The Republican Party was the obvious natural home for this, and it is there that those believing in TEA Party core values of fiscal balance and sanity and limited government are trying to make their influence felt.

This is not a short term effort for nay-sayers and/or sissies.

The Ruling Class leadership in BOTH parties are at war with Conservatism and have been successful in driving it OUT of political influence.

That is what McConnell meant in his vow to crush Conservatives 'everywhere we find them'. To crush it via corruption at the voting booth so it has no influence in governance.

and it is there that those believing in TEA Party core values of fiscal balance and sanity and limited government are trying to make their influence felt.

That will be proven to be as effective as when the Colonists repeatedly attempted to persuade parliament and the Crown to relent from their insanity and overpowering rule upon them.

There comes a time when those who are not practicing insanity wake up to the fact that petitioning a corrupt institution for redress is met with repeated injury, making a declaration of independence absolutely necessary.

This is not a short term effort for nay-sayers and/or sissies.

If you think working from within the system to fix the federal beast is a viable option - not only are you delusional, but woefully ignorant of both human nature and history.

We have a single Ruling Class Oligarchy running the show, and the GOP is simply part of that oligarchy - to play it's part in creating an illusion of choice and republican democracy.

McConnell has revealed the true nature and face of the GOP itself. It is at war with Conservatism and cannot ever be reformed from within. The election fraud and corruption to get Cochran in MS re-elected ought to have awoken you to this fact.

The GOP will work to put Democrats in power than see a seat go to a small-gvoernment Conservative.

You LEAD with them first, so you considered them MOST IMPORTANT in your writing.

Go away, your lack or cohesion bores me.

Speaking of Bluegrass...

your lack or cohesion bores me.

Bugger off, you Snivelling Little Rat-Faced Git!

That's about the type blinkard, Philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds, squeezing blackheads, and not caring a tinkers cuss for the struggling voter.

You excrement!

You whining hypocritical toadies with your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding secret masonic handshakes.

So which is it?

My "lack"? Or my "cohesion"?

Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!

Note to self: next time you have the bright idea to join a forum, try to come up with a more clever username. Like “tinkers cuss”.
Note also: learn HTML.
Note also: never put anything smaller than your elbow, in your ear.
