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

Posted on 10/06/2014 9:02:20 AM PDT by cotton1706

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.

the fact it is principled doesn’t mean it is not foolish that sort of nonsensical thought got us obama. principled Nazis gassed jews principled priests led the effort to have the Romans crucify Jesus

REALLY?????

You are going to equate principled Conservatives who refuse to vote for liberal Republicans with Nazis exterminating Jews and those who killed Jesus Christ?

You Party hacks are freaking desperate, and in truth - are showcasing that you people are really no different than Democrat MarxoFascists.

I have heard the “we promise next time...” line since 1988. If you want to buy again go for it, I’ll pass. That being said when there is Republican that runs and then votes, acts and fights like a conservative they have my vote. But running on nothing and hoping for something again. Pass.

Please spare me the Harry Reid bogey man cliche. Lets see it’s been Harry, Hillary, Daschel, Foley, Wright, Slick Willey, same cliche, insert latest bogey man. As for abortion, tell me exactly what the Republicans did when they held all branches from 2002-2006 about abortion??? Nothing.

Earlier you wanted proof and now you have the names. And you are still deflecting it like Saul taught.

You are a Cheshire conservative. And I ‘am’ tired of dealing with you and the rest of conservatism’s enemies. After 6 years of rehashing the same arguments, many of us just aren’t gonna do it much anymore. We are simply going to point out your support of liberals and BTW, that R you are so proud of does not stand for Race card so you get no cover.

A lib is a lib and you support them. that is not conservative.

Golly, gee, maybe he voted against the NDAA because of this:

Did Boehner purge any moderate-liberals from any committees??

We all know the answer to that one.

>>So by a need to “punish” Mitch and the establishment GOP, these people will actively support putting a Democrat in a seat for possibly decades, with all the consequences that come with it.<<

There’s no “punish”ment in this at all. McConnell made it abundantly clear in the primaries that he neither wanted, nor needed, the votes of true conservative patriots.

Someone dumps a bucket of shit on your head, then turns around and asks for a dollar, do you give it to them? Not me. I’m tired of the GOP abused wife syndrome. Tired of “vote for me because at least I’m not a democrat!”. Tired of the threats and empty warnings of what will happen if the Dems take control of congress. Tired of not having a candidate to vote FOR...when all I’ve done is vote AGAINST someone. Tired of campaign promises of strength, only to have the victor turn quisling and lose backbone once in office.

Tired of it all. McConnell is not getting my vote.

His RNC script issued today does not cover that issue ergo he cannot and will not address it.

the situation ethic is he’s going to vote for a VILE, EVIL DEMOCRAT in order to help MORE Vile, Evil DEMOCRATS DESTROY our country!!! Totally Unethical!!

And how is that any different than your vote for the liberal GOP Ruling Class oligarchs who declared war on Conservatives; vowed to 'crush' us and 'punch us in the nose'???

Your 'situational ethics' are as thin as wet tissue paper because you and your ilk demand everyone vote for the VILE, EVIL ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN in order to perpetuate the illusion they are an opposition party when the FACTS SHOW that they only help the MORE vile, evil MarxoFascists destroy the country while punishing and making irrelevant, Conservatives.

Traitors to the cause are as evil as the traitors to the country, and you support traitors.

I guess you consider most of FR "enemies" for wanting a GOP Senate. Ted Cruz is an enemy too I guess?

If you are so tired, why do you keep dealing with me on these threads?

LOL. You're a joke.

There is no functional difference between a DU moonbat fighting for a Dem lib to wreck conservatism and a GOP moonbat fighting for an R lib to wreck conservatism.

None. Either way conservative values, principles and America itself are their victims. And since they fight to destroy what conservatives support, they are the enemy.

Elections are not going to save this country, this country needs a moral and ethical rebirth and reconnection with God and winning 10 straight elections will not bring this about.

Starkest and most brutal truth in regards to this entire issue and situation facing the country that most refuse to acknowledge.

It needed to be repeated and LOUDLY.

Boehner got rid of libertarians who are not conservatives.

Ron Paul types.

Lynn Westmoreland's office (conservative from GA) had this to say:

Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia as explaining that Amash, Huelskamp and Schweikert were removed for "their inability to work with other members." The spokesperson clarified that Westmoreland "said that it had nothing to do with their voting record, a scorecard, or their actions across the street [meaning fundraising]."

I totally agree that this country needs a MORAL AWAKENING.....are you going to do that with HARRY REID running it?? MORE ABORTIONS....MORE GAY EVERYTHING!!! Yeah...that’s going to help us.

The GOP Ruling Class turds you are trying to shame us into voting for this cycle have supported and enabled those very things - MORE ABORTIONS, MORE GAY EVERYTHING.

They are either dead silent in opposing those things or they have been busy working to enable them.

Your point is moot, as is everything that comes from party hacks.

Amash was in favor of civilian courts like Holder. He deserved to be canned.

Why just today the R’s on the Supreme court welcomed gay marriage to 11 new states. So that takes the “Barry will get SC appts! off the table. The R faction of the court is responsible for Gay marriage AND Obamacare.

Why don';t you vote for the Republicans and SEE what they do!!!

We already did. 2002-2006, and to the present moment.

They are at war with Conservatives, working with Democrats to demonize, punish and render Conservatism irrelevant. Their fruits already scream what they are going to do, given what they are currently NOT doing and whom they are aggressively opposing. It's NOT Democrats or Obama.

You will never abandon ship. You are the consummate wife who enjoys being beaten and lectures the rest of us that we should obey our masters so the beating will be less severe.
