So your astute advice to Kentucky voters is what?
Stay home?
Vote for grimes and send those rat bastard gope a message?
Keep dirty harry as the senate majority leader?
You purists need to get over the fact that not all pubbies are as pure and clean as you all are.
It must be nice to never make mistakes.
Amen. Aside from some short lived pleasure, the purists need to explain all the positive things that will come from having Grimes as Senator for THE NEXT SIX YEARS.
I have no respect for McConnell but I'll give him this: he's very deliberate. He doesn't make mistakes.
I'll never stay home from an election but because of his deceptions and betrayals he's the greater of the evils. I may vote for Patterson or write in a name.
After he gets past this election, he's going to continue to boldly **** the Tea Party, Kentucky and the United States just has he has done his entire carreer.
It must be nice to never make mistakesEveryone makes mistakes. It's only a tragedy if you never learn from them.
The race between McConnell and Grimes has more complications besides just voting R or D. If Grimes is elected, she will increase the dem count by one, and will be a newbie, junior sen with little to no influence or power.
If McConnell is elected, he'll likely be GOP leader. If the GOP takes the majority in the senate (as is anticipated) he might be majority leader and the gatekeeper to the legislation that makes it to the floor. Is this the guy we want controlling what legislation is allowed to be voted on? He talks a good fight, but that's just paying lip service to the media when the camera's are on him. Has he otherwise taken a stand against the GOPe and the Dems and followed through on anything? Forget conservative-purity for a moment and think about what legislation can we expect McConnell, as Senate Maj Leader, to allow through regarding *any* conservative issue: amnesty, the border, 0bamacare, spending, etc.?
If I am endeavoring to be a reasonable and prudent person when deliberating on how to vote and I pause to consider what sort of damage either candidate can inflict if elected, McConnell seems more influential, more powerful, more in control and thus a bigger risk *IF* he remains in GOPe's pocket. And I see no indication he won't be in the GOPe's pocket.
Or maybe he's a swell guy who can be counted on to at least allow conservative legislation (on whatever subject) to be voted up or down and let the chips fall where they may. If anyone thinks so, by all means - make a pitch for him.
For now, based on what I see, hear and read, the choices both stink. I'd say KY voters are damned if they do and damned if they don't and the nation will likely suffer to one extent or another, regardless of the outcome.
What they don't understand is if they withdraw and don't vote or even vote for the other side, they lose all influence within the republican party. However, none of these people have ever been accused of being smart.
