Is it a false scenario. I don't think so.
Are the die hards who want Grimes the abortion pusher to win not religious?
Is the sin of pride clouding their judgement in wanting the pro-Abortion leftist to be a Senator from KY?
The argument will be that Mitch is no better than Grimes, that just as many abortions happen with him as senator through his inactivity on the issue.
The honest truth is that I think on the issue of abortion I don’t think it makes much of a difference.
Having Mitch McConnell in the Senate didn’t prevent any of Clinton or Obama’s Supreme court nominations from becoming judges.
Can’t they both lose?
The attitude is that McConnell is a self-avowed enemy of the TEA Party. I don’t “want Grimes to win” and neither would I ever voice any support whatsoever for McConnell.
If I lived in that state I would have no dog in that fight.
Biting off the nose to spite one’s face. RINO’s should be dealt with in the Primary. If we’re not successful, handing the seat to a Democrat who will help Zero in his agenda is a terrible mistake.
Mitch McConnell is better than a true leftist Democrat, & we can try to take him out again in another two years.
Did David, during his war with Saul, go and work for the king of the Philistines? No, he went into the wilderness until he could come to grips with what needed to be done.
Wait... no. David did go work for the king of the Philistines.
And Daniel served in the Babylonian and Persian courts.
And Joseph set an extremely punitive tax on the people of Egypt.
And Gideon and his family turned to idolatry after he drove the Philistines from the land.
What does this have to do with abortion? Nothing.
And neither does the fact that the traitors to conservatism in the Republican party need to be cut out like the cancerous growths they are. We need some salt in the wounds and a burning ember to clean out the infection.
Grimes in the Senate would be bad, but not as bad as leaving McConnell there. And I was a big fan of Mitch up until the last couple of years. I defended him on this board. But there have been too many betrayals. He can’t be trusted and needs to go.

I don’t care
for this thread.
It’s one Senate seat. We’ll win some and lose some. This is one I case little about because the guy in it puts his power and those of his lobbyists above the voters.
I think we all get it, you’re a one issue voter. But each time McConnell votes for cloture to fund Obamacare, how many abortions is he preventing?
Which of these two expressed a wish to punch TEA partiers in the face?
1. Alison L. Grimes
2. Mitch McConnell
Is the sin of pride clouding their judgement in wanting the pro-Abortion leftist to be a Senator from KY?
what does Pride have to do with punishing an incompetent Republican who surrendered to the Democrats??
A GOP led senate would do nothing to stop the Obama regime.
Now is a great time to clean out the incompetent Republicans.
Conservatives have heard this argument so many times before. The particulars change, but the bottom line is that “We must support a Republican liberal, or horrors, we will get a Democrat radical!”
As Napoleon Bonaparte noted, a static defense is slow suicide. But that is all Republican liberals offer us and the United States. They will only try to slow down new outrages, they will never try to turn the tide of battle against the Democrats.
To make matters worse, they only even try to slow down the new outrages to keep their own wrinkled, pasty white bottoms in their chairs. They have no heart in the battle, because in truth, they believe much of what the Democrats want.
They are like the pro-slavery Whigs, who supported slavery because it was “good for business”, and business is all they cared about. And they are like the Coolidge Republicans who agreed with his statement that “The business of America is business”, who became the Hoover Republicans, who cared only to restore business while the public was starving.
And when Eisenhower ascended the throne, they were the “Country Club Republicans”, who were comfortable in being the minority party, as long as the Democrats would throw them and their people the occasional bone.
Finally, Goldwater stood up against them as a populist, so the Country Club Republicans did everything they could to undermine him. By their lights, Goldwater was horrible because he was not a liberal. Not a liberal Democrat and not a liberal Republican.
Reagan was a glitch, because while he was a conservative, he spent like a drunken liberal, yet for one of the greatest of conservative causes, to tear down the Soviet Union.
Yet with the Bushes and their ilk running the Republican party, conservatives have been locked out, derided, cursed and spat upon so much that they have finally risen up, and are systematically tearing down the RINOs, so they will never again work with Democrats against America.
And here we have Mitch McConnell. He has openly proclaimed his hatred of conservatives and conservatism. As such, he has come out of the closet. And the Republican party RINO purge will not be complete until he is overthrown.
So, is he opposed to abortion? Really? Or does he just say he is, hoping for six more years of liberalism in Washington.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Put not your faith in a lily-livered, pasty rumped liberal.
The establishment RINOs are counting on your attitude. They know they can keep serving up “take it or leave it” candidates because people like you will keep voting for them.
But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero
You tell me. Better the enemy who wears their standard proudly, imho.
But I'm not from Kentucky, you will all have to decide.
Here is an excellent guide, for any Christian.
