Even though I don’t respect McConnell, I would vote for him. We need to GAIN Senate seats, not lose them because of a hissy-fit. We need the MAJORITY in the Senate. NOW!

If you consider his statements and actions IN the Senate something we NEED, then go ahead. It looks as though the Akron water problem has been affecting the entire Buckeye Nation, No disrespect to Buckeyes who don’t brush their teeth with tap water. How can you honestly choose to have someone REPRESENT you when you do not respect said REPRESENTATIVE.

It is way past the time to cut the chord.

You are right, but what is right on this site is hard right only. Losing with purity would be a good motto.

As with Mississippi, there will be few Kentucky voters among the most vociferous posters. My prediction is for a McConnell win and a new Senate Majority Leader. One of these days I expect to be banned here, but I do enjoy being provocative and hope that will alleviate some knee jerk group think.

NO WE DONT. A majority is meaningless if the right policy is not implemented. McConnell needs to lose.

Electing someone with Republican in the name but votes for liberal policies is not winning the seat.

What purposes is there in winning battles but losing the war?

What are we thinking that razor-thin majority would accomplish?

A GOPe controlled Senate with Juan McCain, Mitch McConnell, Linda Graham, Susan Collins, John Cornyn and the pro-amnesty U.S. Chamber of Commerce running the show is not going to make the changes in Washington that America needs. Dem-lite.

How could you be sure he’d vote with Republicans anyway?

The party’s base bought that BS for several election cycles. Nobody seems interested in buying it again.

You screwed up too many times. Your boys are like crack addicts that have been stealing from the family and keep asking for “one more chance.”

If you continue to hammer away at your foundation don’t be surprised when your house collapses.

Good for you. Two words: SUPREME COURT. Would you rather have Harry Reid picking?

It isn't a hissy fit. McConnell declared war on the Tea Party, and he backed up his claim by funding Racist ads directed at McDaniel and the Tea Party in Mississippi.

McConnell stabbed us in the back, so there's a little bit more than a "Hissy fit" involved.

I agree. Not a big fan of McConnell, but his opponent should endorse him, like Cantor did.

You are wrong! This isn’t a hissy-fit, it is a full blown revolt to reject Rinos from being re-elected after proving themselves as unreliable to the conservative cause.
