NAME OF REPUBLICAN SENATOR WHO ALLEGEDLY CALLED FREEDOMWORKS SUPPORTERS ‘TRAITORS’ (UPDATE)
The Blaze ^ | October 8, 2013 | ERICA RITZ

Posted on 10/08/2013 6:46:45 AM PDT by optiguy

Glenn Beck told his audience on Monday that the following morning on his radio program, he will reveal the name of a Republican lawmaker who said anyone who stands with FreedomWorks or the Senate Conservatives Fund is a “traitor” to the Senate.

Beck had Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on the program, and invited the senator to comment on the announcement, but the senator declined.

Just announced it was McConnell. The moral delima for Hannity will be whether or not to keep Freedom Works as an advertiser or McConnell as a repeat guest.

He won’t have to worry about that.

Mcconnell will lose his election bid now.

He just lost.

RINO Senator Son of a Mitch McConnell, it all boils down to this:

“The Silent Majority is what you call the TEA Party.”

Deal with it.

The only thing that is “new” is THE NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY.

RINO Hunting Season begins 1-1-2014.

BTW, this 2014 RINO hunt has no bag limits, tents or caves - - -

Hannity flows as the money goes, from what I’ve seen. YMMV.

The “Traitors” are Senators, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, John McCain, Lindsey Graham. If these traitors would have stayed united with Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and voted against cloture, Reid would haven fallen long ago. We, the good guys & gals will win,,,and...we are winning this battle, but it would have been so much more powerful has these turncoats grown a backbone & spine!!! They must all be voted out of office!!!

Yes. He named McConnell. He also went on to speculate Cornyn or Chamblis in McConnell corner in this meeting.

What's Hannity to do? All his boy-toys like Marco are proving themselves to be progressives. This is why I've grown to like The Blaze. Now that Beck is on his own he doesn't pull his punches

He does do that, but in this case he mentioned McConnell right out of the box and he claims he doesn't have the second name yet.

I was hoping that Beck would string this out for a day or so.
I was sure some smart Freeper would put up a rino pool. Kinda like a dead pool, only trying to guess which one of the thirty or so that really really fit.
Just Damn!

Being unable to access Beck as I’m cubicle-bound, what proof did he offer? I don’t doubt that a weasel like McConnell would say such a thing, but how did Beck back this up?

Hmmmm...”traitor” is a bit of a harsh word from a mush mouth like McConnell. Not defending him, but it sure doesn’t sound like his usual language, even when he’s out buddying up to Reid.

Mitch is just there for the Ruth’s Chris certificates .

Now that right there is funny.

The problem for Mitch is, he doesn't get any certificates if he can't pronounce "Ruth's Chris."

I think the dilemma would be McConnell’s on choosing to appear—he is a legitimate newsmaker based on his position—and with a primary fight, he’ll continue to accept Hannity’s invites.

This Texan has already contacted Cornyn’s office to inform him that I will work diligently to defeat him in the primary and vote democrat if he survives. My sense now is he will not make it through the primary process.

The way I heard it, source was not someone considered “friend of show”, and Mike Lee didn’t dispute it. Lee was in the room and confirmed it was said but didn’t want to name this person.

The only problem I see with exposing McConnell is there is now nothing to stop him from going all in with Reid...

Not that he wouldn’t eventually do that anyway.

In one way or another they are all TRAITORS for failure to “ Defend” the Constitution of the United States. All of them compromise their oath of office almost before its echo dies in the halls of congress.

I donated to the Senate Conservatives Fund.

I’m a traitor in McConnell’s mind.

Excellent.

why didn’t Mconnell switch parties? Wouldn’t he be more effective as a Conservative Democrat?

I don’t think the Liberal Republican routine is working for him.

This is how we transform the party. All money goes here - not to candidates (which RNC takes some of) and not to RNC.

US House votes to ensure religious services on military bases

By a lopsided vote of 400 to 1, the US House of Representatives voted on October 7 to ensure that chaplains would be allowed to lead religious services on military bases, regardless of the temporary shutdown of the federal government.

The House vote came in response to reports that chaplains serving under contract—those who are not active-duty members of the armed forces—would not be allowed to lead services during the shutdown. That policy had threatened to make it impossible for many Catholic members of the armed forces to attend Sunday Mass or receive the sacraments.

Beck just said that he got a call from the New York office and they said McConnell called them and said he NEVER said such a thing.

Beck said his source said the word WASN'T EXACTLY TRAITOR and he couldn't remember the EXACT word, but that is the way it was interpreted.
