McConnell, Grimes lead in separate polls

Two recent polls released in Kentucky show the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes tightening in the final month.

On Monday, a Bluegrass poll showed Grimes with a two-point advantage over McConnell, 46 to 44 percent. Those numbers are within the poll's margin of error, however they represent a positive swing for Democrats in recent weeks.

Over the weekend, a New York Times/CBS/Yougov poll showed McConnell holding a six-point lead over Grimes, 47 to 41 percent.

The race in Kentucky could determine control of the Senate as Republicans look to gain six seats to control the upper chamber.

“Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia as explaining that Amash, Huelskamp and Schweikert were removed for “their inability to work with other members.”

And you find this acceptable?? Do you work for the GOP or something? These are representatives of the people. What? They weren’t going along with Paul Ryan’s increasing the size of government. The BUDGET CHAIRMAN puts forth a budget that doesn’t balance for 40 years and HE is not removed from the committee?? Get real!

If you check his post history, which I suggest everyone here do, he has an unbroken string of GOP apolegetics going back a loooooong time.

Some of us believe he’s a plant. Others don’t think he does the job well enough to be a plant and he’s simply one of many useful idiots here. But most of us agree he’s in the tank ‘no matter what’ the libs in the GOP do.

Where did I admit that? I said they weren't conservatives. Amash voted against defunding Planned Parenthood. They were libertarians, not conservative.

You're a joke.

There's a litany of 'punishments' the GOP Ruling Class are inflicting on Conservatives who will not support the liberal/Left GOP Leadership oligarchs.

And the GOP just voted en masse to fund PP and Obamacare and the Alphabets and every whim Obama has.

You personally assured me some time ago that they would never do that. PS: That was TWO continuing resolutions ago.

What’s your point again?

So was Barney Frank and I resented him working on the budget committee.

Lynn Westmoreland is a true conservative, not a libertarian so I trust him more than Amash.

I don't consider someone who wants civilian trials for terrorists a conservative.

Actually I seem to be getting the last laugh. And No one buys your avoidance. Seems all your backers went back to HO for further instructions.

I remember ONE person took your advice then came back and said he saw nothing wrong with my posting history.

I'm saying nothing different about the election than the majority of FR...which is basically that those who don't want a GOP Senate are fruity.

LOL. You're a joke.

And I don’t consider someone who backs the party consistently caving to Obama to be a conservative. Or American for that matter.

Irrelevent. Frank was a democrat.

“I don’t consider someone who wants civilian trials for terrorists a conservative.”

What has this to do with Amash being removed from the BUDGET committee??

Just his standard spin tactic to avoid his losing issue.

No, only ONE person ever responded to your "check his history" meme which you parrot over and over and over. And he said there was nothing objectionable there.

Not only are you a joke, you're a liar.

Yup. Moderate and liberal republicans like Peter King and Dede Scozzafava are VERY WELCOME! Libertarian republicans like Amash are to be removed!

And we just saw today that the NRCC is withholding funds from Marilinda Garcia because she said she might not vote for Boehner.

But the Big Tent, dontcha know!

Nope. I’m right. You are not. Your post history is what it is. GOP apology central. It’s really that simple.

Since all you have is avoidance and unsiupported accusations, I’ll call it a day. No sense giving you more of a circle to perform in.

Not irrelevant. Frank was also a rep.

It shows that his values are screwy. Libertarians lean left on many issues.

Not to worry, plenty of actual conservatives on this thread to keep your fantasies in check.
