New McConnell Ad Hammers Opponent and Conservative Group Targeting Republicans
ABC ^ | March 8, 2014 | Shushannah Walshe

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday trying to appeal to conservative activists. He even walked out holding a rifle, getting a cheer from the crowd, before giving it to Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.

McConnell is in the middle of a primary fight against businessman Matt Bevin and the CPAC crowd is one he is trying to woo, but his campaign is out today with a new radio ad attacking not only Bevin, but also declaring war on the Senate Conservatives Fund, an outside group working to unseat some Republican incumbents, including McConnell.

Listen to the Radio Ad Here

ABC News got a sneak peak of the ad, titled “Absurd,” which will run for the next two weeks, and the campaign says it has an ad buy in the “upper five figures.”

That video just begs the response from one of Chucks friends...

“Mitch, I knew Charlton Heston, and you sir are NO Charlton Heston!”

Politics takes money. The Republic is in peril. The Founders pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor". What can we do?

Senate

Support Matt Bevin to oust Mitch McConnell in KY

Support Joe Carr to oust Lamar!

Support Lee Bright to oust Lindsey Graham in SC

Support Dr. Milton Wolf to oust Pat Roberts in KS

Support Chris McDaniel to oust Thad Cochran in MS

Support Ben Sasse for the open Senate seat in NE

Support Greg Brannon to block RINO Tillis and to replace Hagan in NC

After the failure to depose Cornball Tuesday in TX, I’m sure McC is sleeping much better at night.

You don’t crap where you eat, a lesson Mitch obviously hasn’t learned.

I may be dense. Who is SCF and can you explain/translate the “over target”?

Over target = Bevin receiving flak.
SFC = Senate Conservative Fund

No doubt. But I think TX was a VERY different and strange primary ... and not an indicator for the other primaries ...

A strange one, this. Rep. Steve Stockman said (sometimes ghost-tweeted) fiery things, but never really bothered to run a campaign

Mitch McConnell: Senate Conservatives Fund ‘counterproductive’

Senate Conservatives Fund roils GOP

"Over target" means that the enemy is alarmed and responding by firing FLAK at our fighter-bombers:

If you’re taking flak, you’re over the target

It makes no sense that Stockman ran a no-campaign in part becasue of no financial resources when he could have remained in the House probably for another term.
