You could tell from the start that the Senate minority leader saw no upside whatsoever in having the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan represented by idiots like Christine O'Donnell, borderline personalities like Sharron Angle, or know-nothings like Rand Paul. But, ever being that strategist, he also realized that the Tea Party was poised to have a good run for a couple years. So he never got fully on board with them, but he did make room for them, and he carried some of their water when he had to.

But his days of carrying water for the Tea Party are officially over now. Because the Tea Party itself is officially over. Mitch McConnell has been a leader among Republicans for a long time. Now, apparently, he has decided to actually do some leading.

Nice lead in....

Gee, it's tough to consider "Louisville.com" a fly by night rag however they do a fine job of professing it on their own with this kind of leftist dribble.

He is being primaried, right?

Does anybody have a chance of defeating him that I can send some money to?

I have no idea who is running against him right now. Frankly it doesn’t matter, I have decided that I am voting for all of the primary opponents of our currently sitting politicians all the way down to dog catcher.

The smug chumps at Loueyville will be disappointed when he sees what the defunct tea party does to their beloved sucknuts McConnell. If he gets re-elected, he will have a stiff challenge to keep the leaders position.

Why does the RINO leadership look and act like a pack of dam*ed eunuchs????? Because they have no balls, that’s why.

Can’t we just go ahead and put wheels on the Capitol and officially declare it to be the world’s largest clown car?
