Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), speaking: “Last week, President Bush concluded the North American Free Trade Agreement, which will stimulate our economy and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.”
Voice-over: “Mitch McConnell has been tragically wrong about foreign trade deals. They have cost Americans over half a million jobs. Kentucky is still losing jobs, and McConnell is still voting to give companies tax deductions for outsourcing. Mitch said it is not his job to create jobs. The least he could do is stop sending them away.”
– Senate Majority PAC ad running in Kentucky, where McConnell is being challenged by Ky. Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes
Pardon the fuzzy video above, which was sent by a reader. Senate Majority PAC is affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), but this ad does not appear on its Web site of campaign videos. A spokesman for the group did not respond to repeated queries about the ad, not even to provide factual backup.
Why would such an ad be so under the radar that the sponsor would not even acknowledge it? Let’s take a look.

One can even make a case that NAFTA boosted exports of American coal to foreign countries
The point of the piece, though, is that Lundergan Grimes ran an ad which attacks Mitch McConnell for NAFTA even while she’s had Bill Clinton campaigning for her (and she tries as much as possible to position herself as a junior Clinton).
Grimes is going to win. There is no leadership, no contrast, no agenda in the Republican Party right. This “play it safe, shhh - don’t wanna upset them moderates we need to win” strategy is going to fail miserably. When you don’t stand for nothing, you’ll get nothing. A lot of conservatives are also staying home because of McConnell.
Maybe he can get a job with Eric Cantor.
I pray she doesn’t win. I live in Kentucky, and I’ll be voting for McConnell. I’m not voting for him, but for Christianity and Christians, people whom he represents, whether he does a good job of it or not.
Several months ago, I’d have agreed. But Grimes has turned out to be so radical, so moonbat, that she has shot herself in the foot repeatedly. I expect Mitch will win another term he so richly does NOT deserve.
Like most politicians he represents big government, but is pretty good on pro-life (against funding for abortions and using embryonic stem cells). It is a short run - long run tradeoff. In the long run the sheer size of McConnell's government will mean abortions funded by numerous agencies and methods. There won't be a change with McConnell but it won't be as immediately bad as Grimes.
As usual, we’re stuck with a couple of bad choices. One is clearly worse than the other. I’ll hold my nose and vote and hopefully dirty harry will be reduced to the sniveling, weak, insignificant, pathetic little man that he actually is.

This is why Grimes will lose. She can’t even answer a simple question.
True, on another thread, there’s a video of her refusing to answer whether or nor she voted for Obama.
She's trailing by over four points in the RCP average.
She’s a rhymes with runt. A rhymes with clucking rhymes with runt.
This is why I can’t call her “Grimey”, as she prefers to be called. It’s too cutesy. The brotherclucking ‘tards who are supporting her on here make me angry.
