It Was Mitch McConnell With The Dagger in The Conservatory.
Red State ^ | 05/04/10 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 05/05/2010 1:05:34 PM PDT by RonPaulLives

Mitch McConnell is finally endorsing Trey Grayson in Kentucky after working behind the scenes for months with Grayson’s campaign.

Grayson’s campaign has all the hallmarks of a McConnell Senate campaign effort, i.e. it is losing. Both times McConnell led the Senate Republicans’ election efforts, they lost seats.

But it gets more interesting.

As news of McConnell’s endorsement percolates this morning in Kentucky, we now know which Senior Republican lied to James Dobson to persuade Dobson to endorse Trey Grayson over Rand Paul.

The misleader?

Mitch McConnell.

McConnell has been playing favorites in the race behind the scenes. He drove Jim Bunning out of the Senate by orchestrating a media campaign that Bunning was giving up. Now he wants him some Trey Grayson. Why?

Grayson will be a yes man and an automatic vote for McConnell. Grayson will not stand in the way of Mitch’s desire to pilfer the budget. What is hilarious is McConnell saying Grayson will help him stand up to Obama’s big spending ways — this from a man who ran his entire re-election campaign on how much blood he could bleed from the federal budget turnip for Kentucky at everyone else’s expense.

Nice. Real nice.

Lying to James Dobson is the American protestant equivalent of lying to the Pope. McConnell needs to be rebuked for that.

Little Randy thinks like his kook father.

That's cute; then you work with the party elite in trying to vote out Dr. Ron Paul in your state (hint: he already won that primary big.) I will be busy working to elect Dr. Rand Paul in as our U.S. Senator in Kentucky.

Mitch McConnell always gave me a ‘bad feeling’. He doesn’t come across as a ‘fighter’. Always looks like he has “ENTITLED” written across his lapel.

Barack Hussein Obama won big in a bunch of places, too.

The Pauls and Hussein and two symptoms of the same disease.

McConnell is a typical; “I got MINE, so FU@* YOU” sort of republican. You can find him hiding under his desk until polling results are officially tabulated.

I never thought I would be supporting a Paul for anything, but in this case, Rand Paul makes the most sense.

Trey Grayson, a former Democrat, is a full-fledged RINO. He is already is trashing the conservative wing of the party in general and deMint and Palin in particular.

While I don't agree with him on a number of issues, Paul is definitely the more conservative.

LOL. Ron Paul is not running, it's his son.

Stop confusing the father and the son.

Do you mean to say the son isn’t a lunatic kook like his dad?

Grayson is actually running an ad right now attacking Paul for his opposition to farm & coal subsidies and jobs program handouts.
