The tea party is teeing off on Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
Matt Bevin, who is challenging McConnell in the GOP primary in Kentucky, seized on the senators vote Wednesday to move ahead on legislation to increase the nations debt limit, describing it as a blank check for President Barack Obama. The tea party-backed businessman and conservative groups signaled they wont let Senate Republican incumbents forget the vote this election year.
Kentucky and America can literally no longer afford such financially reckless behavior from the likes of Mitch McConnell, Bevin said in a statement.

We have democrats leading the Republican caucus in Congress. McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, Cornyn, are helping Barry and Reid to neutralize the conservatives.
I blame the conservatives congress reps who elected Boehner as speaker, and effectively gave away the republican majority power in the house back to the democrats.
This is why the democrats really don't have a problem when they are in the minority. They still control congress through Boehner and McConnell, Cantor and Cornyn.
With Boehner as speaker and McConnell as Senate leader, if repubs win the senate, the democrats will be just fine.

Crooks are attracted to money. The Dems spend the most money. Ergo crooks are attracted to Dems.
