The boy with the boarding-school name backing Mitch while sounding like a real conservative. /s

Bottom line: Mitch has the seniority & the track record for bringing home the big bucks to the Bluegrass State & KY voters aren’t gonna throw that away lightly.

They’re not going to change their dependecies, their loyalties and ideologies(fear?greed?laziness?), any sooner that the libs will, who are floating Bernie Sanders, going for their radical let base

That’s what they’re about.

He’ll send tons of cash to help McConnell but would hardly lift a finger to help Cuccinelli.

We might not win them all next year...but we WILL win some, taking out some establishment preferred candidates, and making the US Senate, not such a nice place to work anymore, encouraging more retirements.

“Of course I’m supporting McConnell’s opponent”—iacovatx and the majority of conservative voters

“Of course I’m supporting C Christie”—RNC, whose 2012 presidential candidate was partly deep-sixed by Christie in the last weeks before the election.

If we want to have an impact, we must go after the funding sources. For example, the Ch of Commerce wants to pour money into destructive Repub candidates. If the C of C’s members get the message that a large number of customers know who they are and will make buying decisions accordingly, they may reconsider. Ridiculing C of C members who think legalizing millions of leftist illegals will somehow provide them with cheap labor need to be reminded of just how expensive legalized employees are. For example, Obamacare. And, big tech companies that wish to employ grateful third-world techs and engineers at low wages need to be called out publically and the light shown on their grand wealth and arrogance while those H1B’s they employ, who know nothing but the corrupt socialist govt’s in their home countries, live in cramped 900,000 dollar houses just south of San Fran.

” - - - [1] The politically disastrous government shutdown
and [2] the uncompromising posture of conservatives has pushed the GOP Establishment to a tipping point. - - - “ (Quote by Mitch McConnell).

Note: For the sake of discussion, I have annotated the key McConnell quote (IMHO) from another FR McConnell thread article.

It is worthwhile for us Conservatives to take notice of what the RINO Establishment deems important after being bypassed for nearly 5 years by an Oppressive Communist takeover of the US Federal Government.

During the recent partial shutdown of the US Federal Government, the “Just Say NO!” intransigent obstructionism of Communist Senator Harry Reid and Communist Tyrant B. Hussein Obama has been successfully sold to the RINO Establishment by the ever-helpful Leftstream Media as “disastrous.” [See point # 1 above.]

In fact, the main disaster was that the laid off Federal employees were given back pay for the days they were on shutdown vacation.

Notice how quick the RINO Establishment has been to accept the Leftstream Media’s second point:” The uncompromising posture of Conservatives. “ [See point # 2 above.]

This quickness to reject “Courage of one’s convictions,” “Principle,” and other stellar virtues of duly elected political party members is the most revealing “tell” of the lack of a philosophy that represents the voters who elected them.

If we, the Conservatives Voters, have learned anything from TARP to Obamacare, it should, IMHO, be this:

A Republican in Name Only, (RINO), will always support the easiest possible solution, regardless of the great harm that will be done to the United States of America.

_________

Now comes the difficult part for each of us Conservative Voters.

1.) Do we re-elect a pro-Democrat RINO in the vain, (IMHO), hope that somehow a RINO “majority” will actually rollback the great harm done to our Country from TARP to Obamacare? IOW, “THIS time it will be different!”

2.) Do we attack, full-bore, the RINO Establishment as the proven useless guardian of the US Constitution and American Core Values?

2014 is the perfect time to decide to accept or reject the RINO Establishment, IMHO.

What say all of you?

I thought that the next chance the “repubicans” had to demonstrate that they have at least an ounce of testicular fortitude was coming up with the Debt Limit fight.

Yet no one on the right is talking about it. WTF, over?!?

Nobody reasonbly expected the RNC chair to back a Tea Party challenger over the sitting GOP Senate leader.

The only way to force the GOPe to shift is for the Tea Party candidates to prevail in more than half of the 2014 Senate race victories.

If Dems lose 6 Senate races, at least 3 of resulting winners must be from the Tea Party.

Rove/Priebus/Cornyn RINO candidates LOST more Senate races to RATS than the Tea Party candidates did.

Fine, but I’m interested in the other side of the equation, before “we” can make a difference.

Being able to say “We WON more than you did”, is a much more powerful argument than “You lost more than we did”.
