BREAKING: Poll confirms that Mitch is in the lead
Team Mitch | Jesse Benton

Posted on 08/13/2014 8:46:56 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Friend --

BREAKING: Another poll has confirmed that Mitch is in the lead!

The latest poll released today from Public Policy Polling shows Mitch ahead by 4 points. This is great news for Kentucky and devastating news for Barack Obama and his hand-picked candidate, Alison Lundergan Grimes. (SNIP)

With your continued support, we're confident we can win this race. Together, we can take back the Senate and stop the radical Obama agenda. (SNIP)

(SNIP)

Thanks for your support,

Jesse Benton

Campaign Manager - Team Mitch

Paid For By McConnell Senate Committee '14

"I frankly do not care if Grimes wins."

Just remember, if Grimes wins, she will vote for Harry Reid to run the Senate.

Ya know, there is nothing wrong with just saying, "The Republican on my ballot is too liberal for my taste. I plan to vote third party, or write in, or leave that line blank." I've done that myself, more than once, and never looked back.

But when someone moves into full drama queen mode, yelling that the Republican is "worse than Obama" and accusing everyone who disagrees with them of being worse than Obama too, they only make themselves look silly.

Then there are those who like to turn it up to eleven with the POSTING IN CAPS and lots of EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

I'd be reluctant to point any conservative friend of mine (not already a freeper) to such a thread, lest they form the incorrect opinion that FR is D-Bag Central.

It’s really hard to get excited about a ‘lesser of two evils’ race.

Was there ever any doubt that Mitch would win? He’s likely the next Majority leader of the Senate. So instead of Harry Reid refusing to bring House bills to the floor of the Senate for a vote Mitch will be doing it.

Thank you for a reasonable and thoughtful post on the difference between an imperfect conservative Mconnell and some lib.

But you would rather lose and get a 96% liberal than 96% conservative, so that just means you’re foolish, not principled, not effective either.

I would rather McConnell lose and get an understandable enemy in the seat than one who pretends to be our leader and then works to sabotage, and kill us while we sleep in his party's camp after declaring war on us.

And you can stop shilling the ACU "96%" rating. It's bogus. Same as the claim that McConnell is a Conservative. He's not.

He's a statist.

So you want to turn it over to a bigger statists? Again, objectively speaking and in the effects of your actions you favor a bigger enemy. So you are the enemy of conservatism. Come out of the closet you liberal.

They lost their primaries, that's the appropriate time to go after RINO's. If the RINO wins, conservatives need to suck it up and support them in the general.

Look at it this way, if we win the Senate back with a one seat majority, EVERY RINO has a lot of power. For every additional seat advantage the RINO's have less and less power.

You can stop with the lame attempts to castigate me a liberal. You already established that it is you that follows the methodology of the Left to insult and ridicule.

If anyone is an enemy of Conservatism, it is McConnell and goose-stepping party hacks like you.

McConnell declared war on Conservatives and vowed to ‘crush us wherever we are found’. That makes HIM the enemy of Conservatives. he declared war on ME - and yet you continue your feeble attempts to ridicule and shame us into voting for him????

You don’t address that fact he declared war on us. You ignore what he did in MS with Cochran.

We are working to make sure McConnell is ousted from that seat. We will be writing in a Conservative, and if Grimes wins that seat, so much the better.

You prove my point that you’re a liberal. You want Grimes to win. So again, and again, you’re objectively a liberal. Nothing more. Nothing less.

The Republicans will take back the Senate in November. Mark my words. WV, MT, SD are safe R, and then u have a combo of chances: LA, AK, Alaska, NC. Plus, there may be suprises in IA or MI.

Your hatred is consuming any logic you may have. If you really think that McConnell would be as bad as Reid, you are simply bat $#!t crazy.

Both of you are honing your skills for the Circular Firing Squad Marksmanship Badge.

Fahcryinoutloud, there are things on which conservatives can, in good conscience, disagree!!

I’m in good conscience. I believe any conservative who choses to do things that will cause a liberal to get elected is in self-denial about his true identity. I’m doing my best to provide free therapy to help exorcise the liberal demons from Mr. INVAR and his numerous capital letters and exclamation points.

Considering that you asserted I was the self-appointed leader of the Ayatollah wing of conservatism, same charge that Leftists make against Christian Conservatives as the “American Taliban” etc., you are projecting again.

See, you demand we vote for a man who declared war on Conservatives and vowed to ‘crush us wherever he found us’, and yet you decree that those of us who are not going to vote for him as ‘liberal’.

We want McConnell to lose - period. He’s a traitor to Conservatism. if that means Grimes wins, then so be it.

McConnell does NOT deserve our vote. He deserves to be retired.

I never said a word in comparison of McConnell to Reid.

I want the creep who declared war on Conservatives and vowed to 'crush us wherever he found us' and who worked to enable Cochran in MS to perpetrate election fraud against a Conservative DEFEATED. PERIOD.

But if you want an equivalency - I will state for the record that McConnell is WORSE than Reid.

Traitors always are. Reid was not stupid enough to openly declare war on his base. McConnell did, and has been waging war on Conservatives on behalf of Reid and the Ruling Class Establishment for some time.

You take a class in Alinsky tactics?

That’s what the Ruling Class and their stooges are obviously good at.

You do an awful amount of projecting.

bottom line, we want McConnell gone here in KY - and we are doing everything we can to make sure he is retired from his seat. We will continue to encourage a write in Conservative against him.

4 points?

What was the margin of error?

This is in a locked-up, Red state like Kentucky, right?

4 points.

Let's see, Mitch McConnell said he and the GOP leadership were going to "Crush them (Conservatives) everywhere. They are not going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country".

Then there is what he did in MS for Cochran.

Circular firing squad?

How about a Saboteur in leadership who slits our throats while we sleep in his party's camp???
