McConnell (Vichy, KY)






 Conservative group says Mitch McConnell cost GOP a Senate majority

Res Ipsa Loquitor

The Senate Conservatives Fund, which is trying to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in the 2014 elections, on Friday said the Kentucky Republican is to blame for
McConnell's campaign reacted to the ad by accusing the conservative group of undercutting GOP chances of taking the Senate.

the GOP's failure to take control of the Senate in 2012.

Matt Hoskins, the fund's executive director, said Republicans remain in the minority in the upper chamber not because voters are rejecting conservative Tea Party candidates, but because establishment Republicans like McConnell are discouraging more conservatives from running. [Full]


Hell, the GOP tried to stop Reagan, and forced a V.P. Bush down his throat.  It's been downhill since.

Got a letter from McConnell's campaign team talking about what a conservative patriot "Mitch" was and begging for money. I wrote back:
"Mitch" abdicated his Republican Leadership position and let the travesty of an Amnesty bill steamroll through the Senate, saying nothing until two hours before the vote. By then, it was obvious that it was going to pass with lots of help from his Republican colleagues, colleagues he did NOTHING to dissuade.
An old common law shibboleth says "Silence betoketh consent, and "Mitch's" silence was deafening. That silence and then a nay vote when the bill was sure to be passed stinks of a fence straddling weasel angling to offend the least number of people rather than standing on principle.

I gave to many Republican candidates in the past two national elections, and even worked for one. I can assure you that two of those, Jeff Flake and Marco Rubio, are dead to me because of their complicity in this train wreck of a bill, an Obamacare Part II, and neither they nor "Mitch" will ever get another dime from me. In fact, I will support anyone who runs against "Mitch" in a primary this year, and anyone who runs against those two turncoats in their next election.

Goodbye,
Bitter clinger
