McConnell, Grimes lead in separate polls
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 10/6/14 | Steve Doty

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.

Sessions will hold the Budget gavel. One of the most powerful positions in the Senate.

A vote against the GOP is is to keep this from taking place.

If Sessions can get there without McConnell being in the Senate, then prayerfully more power to him.

But I refuse to vote for McConnell.

I would rather Grimes take the seat than see a cretin who declared war on me and vowed to crush us, punch us in the nose and assert Conservatives will never be able to field a Conservative candidate anywhere in the country again, remain in it.

Are you kidding? With your logic in play there will be so many Democrats the GOP won’t even matter anymore. Amnesty won’t need one Republican vote to pass. What will be worth remembering?

Then you would be imperiling the GOP majority and blocking Sessions from the position.

Sen. Inhofe taking Environment and Public Works chair? One of the most outspoken Senators against global warming and people like you are helping to keep him from taking the gavel.

What difference does it make?

Vote for the turd who declared war on you, vowed to crush you wherever you were found, asserted you would never again be able to field a Conservative candidate anywhere in the country - or the Obama stooge?

Both hate Conservatives, both apologize for and lie their arses off for Obama and his cronies - both make claims they will defend everything from guns to coal and yet we know they are both full of crap and actually help the destruction of those things in sly maneuvers and clever arrangements.

McConnell or Grimes, makes no difference because Conservatives lose regardless of which of those clowns sit in that seat.

I’ve been polite in all my responses, in direct contrast to many of the posters who disagree with me.

Your question is an “Is it true you’ve stopped beating your wife?” question. ;-)

Of course it does.

If you vote for commie Grimes you may very well keep the Senate from going GOP and the chairs will remain in the hands of Reid's henchmen.

I'd much rather see Budget in Sessions' hands but apparently you people don't really care about the country.

Ask me if I care.

Go ahead, ask.

If you put a gun to my head and forced me to vote one or the other, I would vote for Grimes before I ever cast a vote for McConnell. But since their is no gun to my head, I will be voting 3rd party or writing in a Conservative.

The only ones who have imperiled their party from a majority is the Ruling Class Establishment.

They declared war on us, vowed to crush us, asserted we would never be able to field a candidate anywhere in the country.

If Sessions and Inhofe are relegated to irrelevance, you can thank McConnell for his declaration of war upon us and running us out of their party.

It is what they wanted anyway.

Tell your party bosses to pander to the Mexicans and Moderates for support and votes, because that is who they want as a base.

You don’t know about that which you speak. Your extremely narrow view excludes 75 % of conservatives.

Blame the Mexicans and Moderates for not voting in enough droves to drag your pathetic party over the finish line.

Your leadership has run us off your reservation, and we are finished with battered wife syndrome.

The GOP is NOT going to fix the country. It is PART and PARCEL; the problem.

Fine...don't vote for McConnell.

But to cast a vote for Grimes is plain weird. McConell isn't the whole Senate. You are voting against Sessions, Inhofe and though even Cruz is campaigning for a GOP Senate you and your ilk are clueless.

I know you say you are not voting for Grimes but many who think the way you do are. Weird people.

Right, because you Elites and party hacks know sooooo much more than we principled narrow-minded Christ-killer Nazis.

Why continue to berate us then? Obviously you and your party of unprincipled pragmatists are better off without us.

Try pandering to the Mexicans and the Moderates for what your party needs to “win”.

Pure drivel...... all you can do is call names

You can not however refute the un refutable

By maintaining such narrow views you essentially become irrelevant re

You are projecting again. I wasn't the one who equated Principled Conservatives with being Nazis and Christ killers, YOU were.

It is so revealing when you types speak. You use the same mechanisms that the Leftists do when we do not surrender our principles to their policies and programs. Conservatives are "narrow-minded" when it comes to homosexual marriage, ObamaCare, Amnesty, defense, gun rights and every other issue that your Party bosses also take issue with us for.

As to irrelevance, your party is working hard to ensure Conservatism IS irrelevant in their party - so good luck "winning" without us, we will continue in our "narrow views" regardless what you party hacks and liberals with an "R" after your name attempt to chide, threaten and insult us with.

For what is going to be irrelevant, is the GOP.

One thing that the pollsters can’t measure: The number of Conservatives who cannot forgive Mitch McConnell for vowing to “crush” Tea Party folks and all “true” Conservatives “wherever he finds them”. He hates Conservatives. There are thousands of Conservatives who will not vote for him and some will go so far as to vote for Grimes. But, THEY WILL NEVER TELL THE POLLSTERS THIS. They are flying under the radar; very stealth...... Cantor-style stealth. The KY Senate Race just might be “the shock heard ‘round the world” on November 4.

That is a very foolish stand.


Well, to a RINO like you, I’m not surprised that you think it’s foolish because, unlike you, some people have the ba**s to stand up to the scum in Washington who hate Conservatives and websites like this one we’re on right now, and say: “Eff you. We’re not going to let you abuse, and use, us anymore.”
