Hold on tight, Midge.

What looked like it could be an anomaly is beginning to look like a real thing in Kentucky. The Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Alison Lundergan Grimes, is leading in a new poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP) by 2 points, on the heels of McConnell’s primary win. That’s right — if this is McConnell’s post-primary bump, he’s in trouble.
The poll contains a flood of bad news for McConnell. Eighty-nine percent of respondents are more likely to vote for a candidate who will pass legislation to create jobs. By an 80%-14% margin, voters (including 70% of Republicans) want a candidate that will close tax loopholes on millionaires. Seventy-eight percent of voters want a candidate who will end gridlock and partisanship. Seventy-six percent want a candidate that will make sure that the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and by a margin of 63%-31% voters oppose cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
Mitch McConnell opposes everything that Kentucky voters said they supported in the paragraph above. What’s even worse for McConnell is that voters strongly oppose what he supports. McConnell has been a vocal supporter of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. McConnell has personally blocked a wide range of job creation bills in the Senate, and he has publicly admitted that he is using gridlock as a strategy to destroy the Obama presidency.

On a personal note, I plan to write-in Matt Bevin. It’s either that or no vote for either Grimes or McConnell.
Bevin sent out e-mails begging Conservatives to become GOP Precinct Captains.
Sorry, Matt - I will write you in for November - but I bent there and done that PC shindig before. It’s a monumental and colossal waste of time.
The GOP is gone and dead - the GOP Ruling Class has made it clear and demonstrated they DO NOT WANT Conservatives in their party.
We are past the point of stopping tyranny at the ballot box anyway. It is all and completely corrupted beyond redemption or salvage.
We will have to start over somewhere else.
In TN our two idiot Senators do vote our way 70-80% of the time but it’s the 30-20% of the time when they don’t that count because it’s always on crucial issues.
I want them gone.
Ditto
Then go vote for ‘em if that’s what you believe.
I ain’t ever gonna again.
I am rooting for the Democrat in this race!
The moderate GOP, once again snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory.
absolute clowns
Hold on tight, Midge.
McConnell is a wimpy turd. The GOP needs some of their top guys to lose inorder to make the others get in line and stop bowing down to Obama and actually fight!
When is the election?
“When is the election?”
On the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
Ah hell, thought it was before that. Lots of time for the Dem to screw up.
That is where you would be wrong. He demonstrated that he can be vicious, never-relenting and incessant in his attacks during the primary against Bevin. He was doing so for well over a year without let-up on every media avenue out there.
McConnell WILL NOT attack a MarxoFascist Democrat like he will a Conservative.
That would be due to the fact that McConnell is all about the Ruling Class Oligarchy - and he would rather lose to a Marxist Democrat than see the seat go to a Conservative that will not support the Ruling Class Government Cabal.
McConnell is a traitor - plain and simple. He deserves to be unseated by any means possible.
Nice picture -— a turtle (the despicable Mitch McConnell) swaying arm-in-arm with three RATS. It’s a perfect image to reflect the realities in DC these days.
