Lexington Herald-Leader ^ | August 30, 2014 | Sam Youngman

The re-election campaign of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has gained momentum in the last month, propelled by huge leads over Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in Western and Eastern Kentucky and among men, according to a new Bluegrass Poll.

With less than 10 weeks until Election Day, the poll of 569 likely voters shows McConnell with a 4-point lead over Grimes, up from a 2 point margin a month ago. McConnell now leads Grimes 46 percent to 42 percent...

Funny, you defended the liberal islamic spelling, but failed to address these questions:

How many mosks in your state? How many (Mexican) ISIS cells are in your state. What city in your state will likely be hit with a dirty bomb or VX gas attack?...Will they hit NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles first...or all at the same time?

Probably because you don't know. Do your shopping early, September 11th is coming right up.

I'll be fine. I think clearly and prepare my household.

I defended the standard American English spelling.

But you go on a riff/fantasy about attacks. You won't get any votes with that, but it seems satiate you.

GOP stands for caving. GOP stands for waffling.

That's been true since the days of Trent Lott and Bill Frist.

That's not what you are fighting for. You are fighting for the actual survival of your party.

I mean to see liberal republicans politically destroyed.

A proper party with a clean brand will arise when the time is right. The Pubs replaced the Whigs pretty quickly when folks got fed up enough.

True enough. But they really own it today. Popular jokes revolve around republicans caving. You don't get to popular jokes if it's a meme that can be overcome.

It's at the point now that Nancy Pelosi jokes about it ("smoked out John Boehner"), and Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer plan on it as a part of their strategy.

Well....I think your other description fits them much better, they just want to hold on to power, and hate conservatives. Anyone and any party that supports a centralized, big government - is by nature all of the things you ascribe to the Democrats and MarxoFascists.

The GOP Ruling Class LIKES what Obama and his ilk are doing - which is why they run interference for him and for Reid and play political games to create an illusion that they are an opposition party when they help enable it.

Is there something really hard there to understand about the value of an established party?

I guess for a party hack, it's really hard for you to understand the value of principles and Liberty.

For you, this is just a game. Statistics, strategy, tactics.

You play the game as it has been rigged for you to play it, and like the Soviets we buy the illusion we have a choice when the Ruling Class has corrupted the system beyond redemption.

The Republican Party itself is just as responsible for getting this country to this point every bit as much as the Democrats and MarxoFascists have, and when anyone rises to challenge the status-quo - they are beset upon for demonization and destruction if they do not relent and play ball.

There's a big difference between Harry Reid running the Senate, and Ted Cruz running it, with McConnell sitting in the back row.

...the JudenRAT GOP Ruling Class

That's kind of an offensive "anti-Semitic" slur ain't it?

What are ya some kinda Illinois Nazi, or Klan, or something?

It's too ingrained in the culture at this point to ever get rid of the stain.

Time for a clean slate.

I'm ok with ignoring the Greek Chorus of doom in the background.

He could have called them "Group 13".

Collaborators are collaborators, regardless of what you call them, even if the name is historically correct and properly used.

I like the appellation "Gang of 8" that liberal republicans in the Senate used to advance the liberal agenda.

You do remember them? Right?

Well that's a steaming pile.

The elected RINOs and wimpy conservatives are responsible for the mess, the voters have written conservative platforms.

That's two markedly different groups of people at opposite ends of the scale.

You're placing blame on them for something they don't deserve.

Right, the RATs and the RATagandists will smear them just as quickly as they crop up, just like Dan Quayle, Reagan, Newt, Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, the TEAparty, etc etc etc.

The guy you voted for: John McCain!

And Lindsey Graham, and Marco Rubio.

You do know that there was more than one gang of 8, right? And then there was a gang of 14.....

The collaborators just don't stop. But you support them. They have an (R).

When they go around demanding that people vote for the (R), no matter what, yeah... they own it.

It takes more than writing a platform. It takes the moral courage to run the liberal bastards off.

Whaddaya mean they can't win? You just rattled off the number 14.

Some states can give you conservative Senators, some can't even elect RINOs. It's all about the cityRATs, college freaks and union-thugs. The House is completely different.

Senators are there for at least 6 years, so sometimes you just have to work with what you got, and hope strong conservatives can prevail in caucus.

That's what pissed off McConnell and Cornyn so bad when Cruz broke ranks and defied the Senate Democrats and the senate republican leadership.

That just isn't done. A narrative had been established, and Cruz screwed it up for the liberals. Both D & R.

It takes the moral courage to let the same people who wrote the platform, elect their own nominee....not the general public...RATs included.
