The intention of the article is clear even though it slams McConnell pretty hard. It makes Bevin look like Romney matched up against Obama and we know the end result of that.
A Maine Republican with NO Record. Is he another Scott Brown? Where is a REAL Kentucky Conservative?
The bottom line is simple. McConnell needs to be sent packing. He is a proven RINO and as such, has earned retirement.
The very same can be said for John McCornyn.
Read up a little on the author. The article lies. Read comments. They are revealing.
Judson Phillips is a faux "Tea Party leader".
Pot Meet Kettle.
If not Bevin, then who?
I’m suspicious that there’s some back story to this article that we aren’t getting. Phillips is a bit of a grandstanding self-promoter who imagines that he runs “The” tea party. I’m wondering if he doesn’t like Bevin dancing to his own tune rather than being Phillips’ puppet.
Bevin’s record starts here. He runs on what he says he is going to do. If he doesn’t do it, he does not get re-elected. At least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.
Since 2011, when Republicans took back the Senate, the Tea Party has been asking, pleading and begging Republicans to stand up and fight.
I'd still go with Bevin, for the message it sends about McConnell's backstabbing.
The article has very little to say about Bevin, only that he is faux conservative because he has no political record, and is a blank slate.
Bevin if that was all we knew about him, he has all the qualifications for congress, a blank political slate, and no political record, is enough to vote for him, however we know much more about him, which the writer fails and/or fears to reveal.
The comments at the bottom of the article reveal people in KY are fed up with McConnell and want Bevin.
I don’t know much about Bevin, but I do know this. He is running against McConnell very differently than Lee Bright is running against Graham. Bevin is obsessed with McConnell per se, while Bright is running against the Obama Reid Schumer agenda, and Graham as an enabler of that agenda.
Those are quite different strategies, with very different messages, and I think for primaries, the Bright strategy is the right one. I’d like to see Bevin show the same disdain for Obama Reid Schumer that he shows for McConnell.
In other words, keep the devil you know rather than the one you don't. I ain't buying what the author is selling. McConnell is a wimpy RINO who has a proven track record of handing his Democrat masters anything they want.
McConnell is the classic, go along to get along, guy.
Again, I ask, show me the proof. He's been in office since 1985. Show me the proof. Show me is Conservative credentials and what he has done, other than to sell Conservatives out time and time again.
Yet another operative carrying the water for the GOPe ruling elite as they struggle to maintain their hold on power. Mitch McConnell threatens to “punch the Tea Party in the nose” while one of his operatives, posing as a Tea Party activist spreads FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) about McConnell’s conservative challenger.
Don’t believe the FUD and don’t drink the kool aid the GOPe puts out for you. Don’t be fooled again.
The possible Conservative unknown is better than the RINO known.
“A Maine Republican with NO Record. Is he another Scott Brown? Where is a REAL Kentucky Conservative?”
*******************************************************************
You’ve swallowed the kool aid, my friend. You’ve absorbed the FUD and you’re spreading the FUD. Wake up!
Hmmmm...Judson here makes the claim that Bevin is a faux Conservative but says nothing to prove it, except that Bevin had the good sense to move from Maine to Kentucky.
