"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Just a few short days after the primary. Surprised?

[gitmo]

Half a million people signed up for health care on KY state site? Is that correct?

[lowbridge]

“but he would not say Friday what that would mean for the 413,000 Kentuckians who have health insurance through the state’s health care exchange”

It would mean they would be able to get better insurance at cheaper prices elsewhere.

“McConnell’s Democratic opponent, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, has said she opposes “taking away insurance that 400,000 Kentuckians just recently got access to.”

Bull. Getting rid of these government exchanges doesnt mean taking away anybodys insurance. These 400 thousand kentuckians always had access to insurance. All they had to do was open a phone book.

Yes, but then they would not have been subsidized by you and me, the taxpayers.

McConnell is bordering on senility and doesn’t seem to be prepared for questions such as this which HE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ANSWER.

He’s going to lose this Republican seat for us. Not that I’ll miss him personally, since he declared war on we “Tea Party” type constitutional conservatives.

[RitaOK]

How much worse is Grimes from hapless McConnell anyway?

If it’s just that he is thought to be less offensive, because he is hapless, that’s not proven to be much comfort to conservatives.

My point is conservatives, who liked Bevin, may stay home.

This is why McConnell is swinging his purse to the Left. Maybe this isn’t a lock.

[minnesota_bound]

Mitch McConnell will use this as will John Boehner to not repeal obamacare. They have had years to stop funding it and stop the devastation to the 10’s of millions of people who have become unemployed because of it but they have done nothing. I suspect they are getting bribe money.

[Gene Eric]

Probably not a lock,

[RitaOK]

Thx, GE. I wondered.

[GeronL]

What planet is he on?

[INVAR]

McConnell will lose to Grimes in November.

Conservatives like me are not voting for him, PERIOD. We will write in a Conservative, vote 3rd party or sit home.

He declared war on us, so he can pound sand. Better for us to see and know who our enemy is than to have a so-called general on our side betray us, sell us out to the enemy and then tell his minions to slit our throats while we sleep in the GOP camp.

[Gene Eric]

He nor his buddies have the desire to get off the highway to Hell paved by the Democrats.

Japanese Army: “We know nothing about this attack on, what did you call it? Pearl Harbor? In Hawaii? That must’ve been the Imperial Navy, totally unconnected to us. Next question?”

Illustrates how the democrats creates government run programs, gets people to be dependent on them, then makes threats that if said program is repealed, the sky will fall.

[ebmiller]

Our exalted leader............Ha!

If you had been paying any attention to this race, Bevin consistently beat Grimes in all polls. McConnell at best was even with her and usually behind.

That's like saying eggs are unconnected with chickens.

Repeal it and their subsidized health insurance goes away. If there are 400,000 people in Kentucky in the exchanges, and assuming a lot of them are there because Obamacare caused them to lose their original coverage, then repealing the law strips them of their coverage yet again.
