Mitch McConnell – the “Republican” leader of the U.S. Senate – is running for reelection in 2014 (unfortunately).
This veteran “Republican in Name Only” – who was instrumental in negotiating last year’s fiscal cliff tax hike – is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong with the GOP, an aging white man devoid of principle who is utterly beholden to insider special interests. He’s creature of the U.S. Capitol – a slave to the “Evil Empire.”
A welfare statist and crony capitalist, McConnell is also neocon (a.k.a. a global interventionist) and a supporter of the federal government’s domestic spying initiative.
“Basically he spent the entire Bush administration advancing fiscally reckless policies – and has spent the entire Obama administration accommodating the escalation of those same failed policies,” one D.C. insider told us.
McConnell also fought hard in his home state against limited government candidates …
“Mitch McConnell is now the least electable Republican Senator running for reelection in 2014,” a representative of the Senate Conservatives Fund told reporter Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post. “He could lose this race and cost Republicans the majority. He needs to consider whether it might be time to hang it up.”
That’s true …
And ironically, it’s exactly what a spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) said a few short months ago.
But McConnell isn’t some “happy medium” between polar extremes, he’s a guy who fiscal liberals would probably love (assuming he had the right letter behind his name).
Anyway … Kentucky voters have proven capable of electing strong fiscal conservatives to the U.S. Senate (as they did with Rand Paul in 2010).
Unfortunately they can’t do that in 2014 if the current slate holds … which is why McConnell needs to stand aside. Or why a credible third party alternative – one responsive to the true American middle (fiscal conservatism, social libertarianism) – needs to emerge.
Sooner rather than later …

Good luck with that.
He, like most of the other clowns running the GOP, are superglued to their seats.

Didn’t McConnell do the right thing on Immigration???…and that’s why yall are Gunning for him…Gotta P!$$ you off to lose that one…(which you will in the House, because you failed w/ the GOP in the Senate)…
And FITS, didn’t you liberal Dumb@$$#$ bug the man’s offices, when that leftwing nutjob was talking about running against him???
He may not be the best, but he beats the H#!! of the corrupt liberal Bast@*ds you’d put in there…
Nice try,Idiot, but I doubt the GOP loses that seat…And hopefully, Republicans will get some seats by continuing to Beat the Crap out of your lord, and idol, Obama…
Playing with the magic eight ball again?
I wonder how many downvotes you’ll earn for that one. I’m going with < 8.
But, Will, is he an “uber-liberal”?

He looks like a turtle. That’s actually a good picture of him because he’s usually oily.
Seriously, he’s a scumbag who will say anything to keep his job.
If he’s not a RINO, I don’t know what one is. He’s been in there for too many decades.
No doubt the ugliest cocksucker in the senate.

Alison Lundergan Grimes has declared herself to run on the Democratic ticket against McConnell. She currently serves as the KY Secretary of State, and is the daughter of Jerry Lundergan, former chair of the KY Democratic Party.
Three lesser-known Dems have also formally declared, while at least three others, including Heather French Henry, former Miss America and wife of former KY Lt Gov Steve Henry are testing the waters.
Now, if we could just persuade the Randites to run a real crackpot against Mitch in the Republican primary, we can pop some corn!

Have no fear. Mitch has been waiting for Sic Willie to tell him what to do. You know Sic Willie is such a player in KY politics. Or maybe its that Sic Willie plays with KY.

Wow! In a few short lines,you used every meaningless cliche in your arsenal!

I guess someone missed the memo on McConnell hiring Ron Paul’s former, yet traitorous campaign manager Jesse Benton so he could help woo quasi libertarians over to his camp and become butt buddies with RAND PAUL.
Rand Paul and McConnell are just starting to cozy up to each other…yet you suggest they are dramatically different…score 1 for the neocon.

FITS attack on non-liberals now, is to act like FITS cares if an office-holder is a RINO…FITS, you fool no one…McConnell is better than the FAILURE in the White House…So suck that…
That said: FITS is a John McCain Moderate. In FITS’ website early days, FITS wrote a creepy attack on Warren Tompkins, Columbia consultant..
In it, FITS bemoaned and lamented the fact that Tompkins, and the Bush Campaign, GUTTED FITS’ moderate hero John McCain…
FITS still has not gotten over the fact that Bush ran, and governed a lot, to the right of the moderates like FITS and McCain…
FITS: A Conservative will Kick your Stupid @$$ EVERYTIME. You put McCain as the nominee, and he cozied up to Obama, like you, and lost…. So STFU. You got your shot w/ moderate candidates…and like ALWAYS, you lost.
By the failure in the White House you mean Bush, right? You may be right there. A lot of good things that have happened since the voters kicked the Republicans out of the White House:
1. Stock Market up almost 100%
2. Unemployment Down
3. GDP UP
4. Annual deficit as a Percentage of GDP down every year since Bush’s last budget year.
5. Housing Prices up
6. Consumer Confidence Up
7. Bush’s two trillion dollar disaster in Iraq almost over
8. War in Afghanistan winding down
9. Bin Laden dead
10. Gaddafi dead
11. Fewer Americans killed by terrorist attacks under Obama than under Bush
12. Fewer Diplomats killed by terrorists under Obama than under Bush
13. GM saved and making money
14. Banking system stabilized
15. US Crude Oil Production Up
16. US Crude Oil Imports Down
17. Republicans blocked from killing Medicare
18. Republicans blocked from privatizing Social Security
19. Investor confidence up
Really???…Google ‘Obama’s Approval ratings” and the 2014 elections get closer…Congress will just keep kicking Obama’s @$$….Dumb@$$….
But is this not the case with most all Republicans and Democrats who have been in elected office for more than 6-8 years?
They all need to go and the people need to initiate term limits, at the ballot box if we cannot get a law limiting terms in office.
Even if they get elected with the best of intentions, the system, the money and easy women soon corrupt them. They loose their morals and ethics after about 2 terms. The system is repleat with the examples of this.

Hey FITS: (Read below, you Dumb@$$)…and think about 2014 elections…the cheaters will not come out in the Midterms, w/o yours, and their, lord on the ballot…
Obama’s Approval Rating Hits Historic Low
Obama’s approval ratings have been steadily falling for quite some time now. So are you really surprised?
President Obama’s approval rating tumbled to a record low as Americans reacted to the government’s sweeping surveillance programs and other scandals, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index.
The Presidential Leadership Index fell to 43.2 from 48.9 a month earlier. The 11.7% slide was the worst since Obama took office. For the fourth straight month, the reading stood below 50, signaling disapproval.
Obama’s crashing, w/o a clue….that’s what really has you scared $#!*less…W/o Congress, you’ll keep getting your @$$ kicked…won’t you???
Speaking of approval ratings, Dumbass:
.
Gallup Poll. June 20-24, 2013. N=2,048 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.
“Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job?”

That’s a national poll for people elected in small, more-local, less-media-controlled districts, you brain-dead @$$-hole…
Your poll worthless, like you, as a practical matter….
Dn’t get it, T? Congress has a lower approval level than the president no matter which poll you chose.
But a VAST VAST majority of those “LOW POLLING” Congress members will get re-elected…
The voters don’t hate their Congress member…They’ll re-elect them…
And w/ a GOP Congress, we just need to keep slapping the living $#!* out of Obama, at every turn…and the people will Squeal w/ favor….
Just watch…
You are such an alarmist and cherry-pick your facts, T. Geezzz, you are so predictable.
I’m certainly not the president of the McConnell fan club, but there is no chance in hell he gets beat. Gone are the days in which Kentucky sends Dems to Washington.
