Oh, she said he was the Ted Cruz of Campaign finance reform.

Right, the Ted Cruz of the movement to guarantee that no new parties could form, and that independents were out of luck without a national party to fund them.

The Ted Cruz of the movement to deny funding to conservatives like Steve Lonegan in N.J.

This is a slur on Ted Cruz, and certainly not a plus for McConnell.

Politics is dirty business, because most politicians are dirty.

McConnell is facing severe opposition, similar to Graham in S.C. But, they have been in politics long enough to have boxes full of political I.O.U.’s.

That is why incumbency is difficult to defeat — but it can be done.

Using this to attack a candidate only shows how removed the GOP has become from small business.

Perfect reason to get rid of McConnell. We have far too many laws currently on the books; unknowingly, every citizen is a criminal, and that's just the way DC wants it.

IMHO, this is John Galt's message to the Tea Party:

“I am speaking to those who desire to live and to recapture the honor of their soul. Now that you know the truth about your world stop supporting your own destroyers.

The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction to give it. Withdraw your sanction. Withdraw your support. Do not try to live on your enemies’ terms or to win at a game where they’re setting the rules.

Do not seek the favor of those who enslaved you, do not beg for alms from those who have robbed you, be it subsidies, loans or jobs, do not join their team to recoup what they’ve taken by helping them rob your neighbors.

McCain won more votes than Romney.

Thanks to Sarah Palin.

Either one of those men would have at least slowed our national suicide. You guys are accelerating the debacle and seem so smug about it.

So sayeth Dr. Robert Stadler.

IOW, you're only interested in slowing the national suicide until you're dead...to hell with your children and grandchildren.

As a Tea Partier, I'm in this fight not for me, but for my children and grandchildren.

Gee if only Mitch the B&&ch would attack Democrats half as hard as he is attacking Bevin, we’d have a different outcome in the Senate.

Not surprising when they all work for The One Bank. Get out your tin foil.

This marks the full transformation we have made, into the Soviet Union of Amerikan States.

Amerika now jails the power-elite's political enemies.

I sure wish the GOP would fight democrats as ruthlessly as they attack other republicans

Why would they do that? They are all on the same team.

Is the story true? Did he in fact lie to get the grant?

No, the new reality is that all you Kamikaze Conservatives that refused to vote for Romney because he wasn't conservative enough, or was Mormon, or whatever, effectively enabled Obama to win.

Wrong. Mitt Romney would have done the following:

Continued Obamacare.

Had Amnesty fully signed into law by now.

Changed NONE of the Obama policies presently in effect.

The only area where Mitt was marginally better, was gunsOther than guns: Both sides are on the same side.

Period.

Romney signed the Mass. 'assault weapon' ban when he was governor. No thanks.

We Kentuckians are not as dim as the media makes us out to be. In 2010, Rand Paul ran against Trey Grayson in the primary for Jim Bunning’s senate seat. Greyson was the GOPe candidate and received their funding. We knew he was in reality a DemocRAT and defeated him, ultimately giving the seat to Rand Paul. I belong to a Republican Club where McConnell is regarded as the sleaze that he is. Don’t forget that Kentucky 63% AGAINST Obama in the last election.

On second thought, the best way to state the flaw in Coulter's position is:

McConnell is the Ted Cruz of the movement to make sure that nobody like Ted Cruz ever gets elected.

You can when your own party fights against Conservatives in ways that they HAVE NEVER fought against democrats.

“Did he in fact lie to get the grant?”

Look over Mark Twain's Short Story, “Was it Heaven? Or Hell?”

and then decide if it makes any difference.

Lies, lying, and liars have been works of art since mankind left the garden of eden.

It is the way of the world.

Let's refer to Mitch using language he understands: Mitch McConnell is a Liberal Republican

Please explain how one more liberal Senate voter for the next Supreme Court nominee is good for our country.

McConnell has repeatedly allowed cloture votes on items that advance the liberal agenda -- like Kagan and Sotomayor, for example -- and then votes conservative so he can claim to be in opposition. He also says all the right things about how 'we may block a vote' but then he caves. Every. Single. Time. But I'm sure you know that.

With "friends" like Mitch McConnell, America doesn't need enemies.

“Please explain how one more liberal Senate voter for the next Supreme Court nominee is good for our country.”

You first. McConnell voted against both of Obama’s nominees to serve on the Supreme Court. He did, however, support both of President Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees.
