Well, gee. Let me think about that for a minute. Hmmm. I don't know. Perhaps his voting record would tell us where he stands on limited government, the 2nd Amendment, States' Rights, abortion, gay marriage, taxes, individual liberty and other conservative issues?
Really, how hard is it for Mitch to establish a conservative voting record when he allows Harry Reid to set the agenda and language of every bill?
You think McConnell allows Harry Reid to set the agenda? Clearly, you don't understand Senate Rules. McConnell does what he can to obstruct Reid's agenda, which is why the Democrats have labeled him "Senator Gridlock," but he doesn't have the ability to set the agenda in the Senate.
Mitch McConnell may not be the leader we want or need, but he is not an enemy. He is a solid conservative on many issues. I never claimed that he should remain the Senate Minority Leader, which by the way is an elected position. He doesn't have to step down. Senate conservatives can vote for someone else as Minority leader if that's what we want and need.
The poster to whom I was responding suggested that if McConnell gets on the ballot that conservatives should either not vote for him or vote for the Democrat. That, FRiend, is assinine.
To what end? Is Mitch McConnell's voting record on those issues keeping the socialists from advancing their attack on those issues? Will his absence stop their advance? Hardly.
I also reject your assertion that a Mitch primary loss will automatically result in a GOP general election. It wouldn't and it won't.

I would characterize that Democrat nickname as being of the "Oh no, Sen. McConnell -- don't throw us into that briar patch" variety. If McConnell were the rules genius you claim, Dingy Harry would not be able to get so much accomplished without any fillibusters. McConnell is tha rules master of avoiding tough votes that might make RINO's uncomfortable, but doesn't mind hanging conservatives out to dry. That might not define Mitch as an enemy of conservatives, but he sure as hell is NOT our friend, much less a leader.

If that's your view, then you are not my friend/FRiend either. For the last 20 years conservatives have tried it your way - not primarying RINOs and/or holding our noses and voting for the odious GOP moderate. That is assinine - repeating folly and expecting a different outcome.
Why are you so afraid of letting the good people of Kentucky choose their GOP Senate nominee? And if they repeat their folly, why should conservatives in Kentucky be forced to validate that mistake? It's time to teach the GOPe who is the boss.
