Fellow Conservatives:
Republicans are in serious danger of losing the U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky because Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is so unpopular and refuses to retire.
Mitch McConnell and Barack ObamaAfter nearly thirty years in Washington, Mitch McConnell's image in his home state is so bad that he currently shares a dismal 31% approval rating with President Obama.
That spells serious trouble for a Republican running in a state that President Obama lost in 2012 by 23 percentage points.
Despite Republicans having a big advantage in Kentucky, Cook Political Report rates the Senate race a "Toss Up" between McConnell and his Democratic opponent.
According to Cook's analysis of all 2014 Senate races, McConnell is the only Republican incumbent in danger of losing to a Democrat this year.
Mitch McConnell was urged to retire and put the interests of the party ahead of his own political ambitions, but he refused.
Now McConnell is headed for defeat, which will likely cost the party an important Senate seat and could prevent it from winning a majority.
The only way to keep Kentucky red is for conservatives across the nation to support McConnell's primary challenger, Matt Bevin (R-KY). If Matt Bevin wins the primary, he will win the seat for conservatives and save it for Republicans.
Keep Kentucky Red - Support Matt Bevin
The Democrats know this and it's why they hope McConnell wins the May 20 primary. National Journal recently published a story exposing this fact. Democrats are hoping to turn the Senate race into a referendum on an unpopular incumbent. But without McConnell on the ticket, the presumed Democratic nominee, Alison Lundergan Grimes, will face a much tougher foe in the fresh-faced Republican...

The thing about Bevin is, I hope he’s okay. He espouses constitutional conservative values, but doesn’t have a voting record.
What would prompt a Conservative Republican to vote for a liberal Democrat if Mitch McConnell wins the primary?
That may not happen, but they’ll sit at home...
So just vote for McConnell or a Democrap with a voting record so you don’t have to worry about it, already! Sheesh!
I’ll bet you would have said the same for the First Continental Congress as well.

Wanting to send a “message” to the GOP Establishment. Personally, I could never vote for a Liberal Democrat, but, I could just not vote in that race. That’s how Scott Brown lost; many Conservatives (Yes, there are some in Massachusetts.) just did not vote in the Senate race. Being forced to choose between a RINO and a Democrat is like being forced to choose between a Child Abuser and a Child Molester.
I would of course vote for Bevin if I were in KY. I would add that it’s a good thing that the constitutional conservative vote isn’t being split by too many candidates for the primary. I’m just saying that I’m going to be a bit leery of someone without a voting track record....and recent history is that we should be.

I’m trusting the vetting that the Senate Conservatives Fund is doing on the candidates. They have rather strict criteria about potential candidates’ conservative bona fides. Plus they only provide major financial support where there is a good possibility of success. Ted Cruz needs additional reinforcements in the Senate. And in addition to achieving a Republican majority in the Senate, it is equally important that the conservative Republicans have the balance of power in the Republican Senate caucus.
Tennessee has it’s own RINO lamar alexander, career pol, 73, his opponent is TN State Legislator Joe Carr, so he has a record to check. And is many times better than lamar’s demoRAT voting record.
He voted for this piece of crap
Obama to Force Military Families Away From Tricare ...By Tripling Their Fees.
6/29/12
Administration officials told Congress that one goal of the increased fees is to force military retirees to reduce their involvement in Tricare and eventually opt out of the program in favor of alternatives established by the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.”
People in TN just can’t admit they have been wrong about Lamar! since 1978. Too much to expect of a proud people
There comes a time when we stop the games. Doing so can be costly. Rebellion is hard.
There is a price to be paid, before we can EVER hope to stop the Establishment from working us over, with false strategies that say we voters must vote for their socialist R’s, or else.
Tell the Establishment to stop sending us RINOS, if you don’t like the outcome.
Let’s keep Kentucky Conservative. You can stuff the Communist Red.
