It is amusing reading all these Bushite posters encouraging unity, tolerance
and forgiveness for McConnell.

Something tells me that all this unity talk will be a distant memory
when McConnell is sent packing.

They will blame KY conservatives for McConnell’s defeat.
All that talk of unity, tolerance and forgiveness will go up in smoke.

“One who has been in the Senate for 30(!!!) years.”

It is sad, but he won the primary. How will D.C. ever be improved if we keep electing the same people? Sadly, the Democrat is worse. It really is a no-win situation.

I, too, want Republicans and Democrats to work together...

It's never "work together" to advance the Republican agenda.

And it's never "work together" coming from Republicans to pressure Democrats to join them in the Republican agenda.

That's why it's time to retire the Republican leadership. They have been "Stockholmed' into thinking that they have to be the first to break to the opposition's demands.

They simply don't have the willpower to hold out longer than Democrats.

McConnell needs to go.

He's already proven to be a disaster as Minority leader and letting this degenerate Washingtonian lead the Senate is a non-starter.

GOP still wins the Senate without this demented old coot.

New leadership is a must.

Don't vote for the communist Grimes, just stay home or vote down ticket.

If you can't take Mitch McConnell out in the Primary, then take him out in the General.
Vote AGAINST Mitch McConnell for whoever you think has the best chance of defeating him.
We can replace the liberal next time around.
A RINO "Establishment Republican" is WORSE than a Democrat because he'll never do what he says he'll do.

I’ll take six more years of pain over a continual cycle of moving left which would result in many more than just six more years of pain my FRiend. Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom before you can move back up. I’d rather us hit the bottom now and start the process of healing and moving back up (right) rather than dragging it out over generations. Cut the cancer out now and start healing, or try and treat it and die a slow death.

I understand your perspective but any strategist that is true to putting us back where we need to be would disagree.

Respectfully,

Render

We can win the rest of our senate races, rid ourselves of McConnell
and still be just fine.

If fact, it will create shock waves within the GOP.
And it will teach them a valuable lesson.
Attack, trash and brag about crushing conservatives and you will pay a heavy price.

And don’t send out your mini-me, like Rand Paul to clean up your dirty
laundry

Lugar was way worse than Mitch.

Im certain he would have confirmed the cop killer’s lawyer because he does not have a problem with far left appointments as long as they seem nice.

I dont think Donnelly or Lugar would differ on appointments.

Maybe Lugar would get an Obamacare bill to Obama’s desk.

We better make sure President Scott Walker won’t try to appoint Linda Chavez to the Supreme Court.

I’m in Texas, so I can’t vote there, but if I could, I would GLADLY, and with a smile on my face, vote for the democrat. I am a Conservative, and as such, I owe the GOP, NOTHING!!! If it meant we wouldn’t get the Senate back, so be it.

No, it won't. Lie to yourself if it makes you feel better but the end result is the same. You're already playing a game where you're multiple steps behind.
"And don’t send out your mini-me, like Rand Paul to clean up your dirty laundry"
I do not understand where you are going with this accusation. I am only stating facts that you appear to disagree with and I do my own dirty laundry thank you very much. In fact I just rotated a load. These front load washer/dryer combos do a great job.

If you have a point then make it and be direct, be blunt, be truthful, be realistic, and most importantly stick to the topic at hand. Do not try and connect me to someone I have not nor ever will associate with or endorse.

I am genuine in what I've stated and I expect the same from anyone who responds. Show some respect and integrity in your posts instead of empty accusations.

Thank you,

Render

Mitch’s conservative ratings are not nearly as bad as some claim. I know some say Mitch games his votes so as to appear more conservative,

Easy to make conservative vote when you know the bill won't pass.

Voting records mean almost nothing, else how did we get to this point?

Alison "Half-his-age" Grimes

Alison's hittable, but not votable!

If he plans on winning the general, he'd better be willing to do to Grimes what he did to Bevin. Scorched earth.

He needs to destroy her.

Otherwise, the Donkees are one seat closer to not losing the Senate, all because Bevin failed.

More and more are starting to see that they have to get rid of those like Mitch who enable Reid's agenda.

The way you disable Reid's agenda is to remove him as Majority Leader.

To do that, you simply need more R's than D's.

If you don't attain that, you lose. If you do, then it's time to elect a proper Republican Majority Leader and land on the wobbly R's.

LOL! Just like how the majority republicans in the house replaced the liberal Speaker?

You dream. If Mitch wins, and the pubs take the senate, Mitch will be Majority Leader. And he will continue to reach across the aisle to help his buddy Reid. Mitch is already talking about how he'll treat the Dems much better than they treated the Pubs.

The last time the pubs had a majority in the senate, they didn't suddenly govern conservatively. They governed liberally. Remember the gang of 14?

He won't. He barely won his last general election against a weak dem. And that was before he burned his bridges with conservatives.

Mitch knew going in that Bevin polled better against Grimes in the general election than he did.

Grimes will win anyway. GOP-E blew it.

Thanks SeekAndFind.
Twenty-five percent of “conservative” voters were open to voting for Alison Grimes... Matt Bevin responds to Alison Grimes' letter to his supporters. Basically says no dice without explicitly endorsing Mitch McConnell... Kentucky and America do need real change," Bevin writes, but not Grimes' "proposed platform of government expansion." -- Jim Antle (@jimantle) May 23, 2014
We're seeing simultaneous meme-building and alibi-building.

"Voting for the 'lesser evil' has proven to not lead the country to more conservative governance."

Though this has sometimes proven to be true, what's even more true is that not voting at all often leads to much more liberal governance. It must be again noted, that if as many people had voted for Romney, as had voted for McCain, Romney would be president now. You can say what you want about Romney, he would have been far far better than a second Obama term.
