I personally have no issues with bankers, Wall Street, or the Chamber of Commerce (except I strongly oppose amnesty for illegals).
I have no problem with pro-business senators and congressmen like McConnell (who btw is an ardent champion of coal in his state).
There have been instances throughout my life where the candidate I voted for in the primary did not win. But I have NEVER encountered an instance where the DEM candidate was superior to the REP candidate, at least not here in CA where nearly all Democrats are effectively Marxists.
Long ago I realized that perfection or utopia in politics is not possible-—nothing in life is. You have to work with what you have. Sure you can go ahead and form a third party (as if there aren’t enough of them already). But a conservative third party would only succeed in siphoning off votes from the GOP and thus guaranteeing Dem victory.
In KY the choice is easy. McConnell has opposed all of BHO’s policies whereas Grimes supports all of them. There is nothing to ponder. It would be absolute insanity to throw away a GOP held senate seat over some procedural matters and differences.
Obamacare will remain the law of the land until a GOP president and House and Senate are elected dedicated to repealing it. Elections have consequences. In 2008 the voters elected a liberal POTUS, a liberal filibuster proof Senate, and a liberal House. Of course liberal policies and liberal legislation were the result. And we cannot count on the SCOTUS to overturn all of this crap.
Say what you like about McConnell but he has opposed all of BHO’s policies, but because the GOP is in the minority in the US Senate there is little he can do about it. Harry Reid runs the Senate with an iron fist and anything he does not like or approve of is never allowed for a vote in the Senate. A vote for Grimes is simply a vote for Harry Reid to remain control. Not voting, or voting for a third party in KY by a conservative is effectively a vote for Grimes which is of course a vote for BHO and Reid. It’s that simple.

Uh, ...no.
McConnell is controlled by Oligarchs meaning those that pay for his seat and pull his strings. They also control Obama.
