There is only one party in Washington: The Re-Election Party, dedicated to the material enrichment of its members at taxpayer expense.
Rand better realize McCornhole is no friend to the Tea Party and Conservatives. The turd-le needs Paul more than Paul needs the turd. McCornhole is a block to reform the Senate.
On one of Cornyn’s campaign sites it said that Demint was rated 95.5 and Cornyn was rated 96.0 by some Conservative rating system. Im trying to find the exact quote that Cornyn is trying to sell.
Can’t remember where I saw it but I saw a conservative ranking list too about a week ago, and it was shocking who was in the top 10%, I don’t know how they get those lists. I do know Cornyn’s coward No vote on immigration probably counted in his favor though when he didn’t deserve it.
The Kentucky GOP is woefully incompetent. The only reason Rand Paul was successful was because of the campaign structure his father had in place and his ability to tap into the tea party movement....including securing Governor Palin's endorsement.
But Senator McConnell may be the most ruthless campaigner in the Republican party. He is literally a bulldog on the campaign trail. There is no way a novice will stand a chance against him.
Senator Paul is simply acknowledging reality, IMO.
The ratings system is done mostly by inside the DC beltway groups that may have the name “conservative” “Tea Party” “Pro-Life” etc. etc. etc. attached to them but what these groups and their scorecards are really attached to is the political machine of the GOP-E.
