Exclusive–McConnell GOP Challenger: Mitch Must 'Lead,' Defend Cruz
Big Government ^ | 9/24/2013 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 09/24/2013 5:54:35 PM PDT by markomalley

Businessman Matt Bevin, the man facing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a primary election next year, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that he believes McConnell should find out exactly who in the GOP establishment is behind the shopping of opposition research on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). 

“I honestly just wish Mitch McConnell would lead on anything,” Bevin said. “And more specifically, and I mean this sincerely, I wish he would lead on what is being debated currently before the Senate right now and that is with respect to defunding of Obamacare. I want him to lead on what he was sent there to do and that is represent the will of the people. People are so overwhelmingly opposed to Obamacare that Mitch McConnell’s unwillingness to lead out in front on this issue is not good.”

“Regardless of who it is that’s shopping oppo research to Chris Wallace, the fact that we have leadership in the Republican Party that are focused on that instead of supporting true conservative thinking, is shameful,” Bevin added. “Because that is energy, that is time, that is emotion that is being spent on things that the American people do not want. Any efforts to undermine Ted Cruz fly in the face of what the American people want.”

Bevin said the attacks on Cruz are from politicians acting in the interest of keeping the “status quo” in place.

Love it!

See folks. It only takes one guy to do the right thing, and then everyone who wanted to but didn’t dare, come flying out of the wood-work.

Thank you Senator Cruz. Excellent...

This is Ronald Reagan territory!

White sells well when folks have only seen black or dark gray in 20 years.

Mitch is waiting for John McCain to tell him what to do.

Good...but still needs to tie McConnell cloiture vote as a vote for ObamaCare. That’s the home run. That’s the difference between challenger Bevin and Senator Bevin

I have literally seen dead people exhibit more signs of life than this degenerate McConnell.

TAXPAYERS ARE DONE WITH THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT.

Time for the Washingtonians working for the country clubbers to start polishing up their resumes.

Do we stand together against the forces of tyranny?

If ever there was a time to do so, it is now.

We will never be stronger than we are now.

Senator John Cornyn is the Republican Minority Whip to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

These two men control how y’alls interests are represented in the US Senate.

Both Cornyn and McConnell have pledged to oppose the efforts of Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund Obamacare.

To oppose Cornyn and any other Old-Style Republican, please contact them early and often.

Below is the contact information for Senator Cornyn.

BTW, an “Old-Style Republican” is one who always surrenders before a fight, because a better time to fight is always some time in the future, “away from the fog of the controversy.”

Strike a blow for THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY !

Contact the Old-Style Republican politicians!

Even though I'm sure many told Ted this...

When he first started making noise in DC I wrote him and said to be careful and beware of the long knives from his own party.

I expect the politics of personal destruction will soon be out front and center...

Ted colored outside the lines in kindergarten.
Ted snuck in illegally from Canada in a shipment of hockey pucks and back bacon.
Ted forgot to flush the crapper in the first grade

You know all the real important issues that go to character.
