However in the world did Mitch beat Lundergan Grimes like a cheap drum? All these Kentucky Republicans are dupes?
Or (don't tell me) your fellow Kentuckians are all RINOs. And you are enlightened.
I'm still waiting for one or two of those lies that Mitch told you. And be specific.
Not just Kentuckians, Sink, most voters in all states are woefully uninformed and it is so much easier to vote for the incumbent - and SO difficult for anyone trying to challenge them! So, that is frustrating for me. Aside from Mitch running a nasty campaign in this last election (sending "official looking" flyers to voters that appeared to come from the State Attorney General's office accusing Matt Bevin of fraud) - AND saying he was going to beat up (or some term like that, can't remember the exact words) the Tea Party and then having the gall to have his campaign call me begging for money! Not so much lies - but disgusting behavior beneath a 30 year incumbent.
But it does point to the creep he really is.
The biggest lie Mitch tells is when it comes to amnesty - or comprehensive immigration reform as it is called by those who favor it. In 2006, when it slowly dawned on me that George W. Bush and the leaders in the GOP were pushing "amnesty", I wrote McConnell with my concerns and asked him to vote against it. Apparently, a lot of Kentuckians did as well, he was besieged with his constituents demanding he vote against it. This was when they could have actually done something about it. He sent us all form letters saying that he HEARD us, and rest assured he would fight FOR us! He didn't.
Every election, he says he will fight for what conservatives want - and when he is re-elected, he goes back to his bipartisan crap where he joins Democrats in voting for bigger government, spending more money. This is not what he runs on!
Allison Lundergen Grimes lost because she was a stupid candidate and because Kentuckians hate Obama's guts because he is destroying the coal industry. McConnell was supposed to stop that too. No Democrat could have won with Obama hanging on their coat-tails.
McConnell lies to win elections - he has no intention of fighting big government - he is big government all the way. I don't care what you say, Americans DON'T want Republicans to work WITH the Democrats! The election showed that beyond a doubt, so why is Mitch pledging to work with them?
