Poll Highlights McConnell’s Vulnerability in Kentucky

I do not live there, but if I did, I would sooner vote Democrat than to vote for McConnell. A Democrat is a known quantity.
On the other hand, McConnell is a slimey crony bastard who is doing more harm than good. He needs to go at any cost. IMO
Yep. Talk about a Catch-22! The Republicans are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. If they do take the Senate - you know THEY are going to be blamed for everything that is going wrong. If they don't - Obama's destruction is unfettered.I don't care who wants to place blame where.
BTW, I'm serious about voting Democrat to kill the GOPe. The 'establishment' has declared war on me and us. The GOP Establishment needs to learn that war is a two way street. At any cost.
He is not popular at all and if he cared about anyone but himself - he would have retired.
McConnell is all that and more. As I have said before and it still holds true - as we Kentuckians get closer and closer to our May 20th primary, I have not seen a SINGLE sign anywhere supporting Mitch McConnell. Right now, in addition to flowers blooming in yards everywhere - election signs are everywhere. Everyday, I am seeing more and more Matt Bevin and Ditch Mitch signs in yards. There's a good chance McConnell will lose this fall to the Democrat. He is not popular at all and if he cared about anyone but himself - he would have retired.
I don't care who wants to place blame where.
Get it done.
We'll worry about blame later.
Government is the problem, so what we need is a new government.
Ok. That's true. But short of a 'new government' we can start by not electing the same clowns in over and over again, decade after decade. I will vote Democrat if I have to, to kill the 'establishment'. The GOPe can go to hell. Once we break the strangle hold, we can begin to rebuild.
It all starts with McConnell. I say, send the bastard to hell, even if I have to vote Democrat.
Democrats are totalitarians at heart. All you will kill is any remaining vestiges of freedom.

I just don't think everyone gets what the problem is here... Reagan did, and we quote him, but don't "get it".
Ronnie said "government is the problem".
Democrats and Republicans are the government, thus they are the problem.
If you believe that electing a different Republican will change things, you're wrong.
Government is the problem, so what we need is a new government.
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
-- George Washington
which - assuming arguendo that "government is the problem" - means merely switching one problem for a new problem.
Twenty-two years ago I stumbled across, and supported the idea of Ross Perot, since GHW Bush had failed to be perfect. Clinton was the result.
Two years after the Perot debacle, I quit drinking, and began the slow steady process of regaining my sanity.
I now know with certainty, that if I desire a more conservative government, I will NOT get it by voting for a democrat.

You, friend, are nuts. The "establishment" wants to win back the Senate to further conservative goals and you oppose that.
It is YOU who are declaring war by voting for a scumbag Democrat.
We keep voting for the same 70 year old people, we are going to keep getting the same 70 year old results.
Totally agree.....new faces and new ideas are needed in DC..

Different clowns do not make for a different circus, and electing different politicians does not make for a different government.

I am not going to 'stay at home'. I will go to the polls at any cost. Of course I'm going to vote for the Republicans I support, but the ones I do not support, these decade after decade Republicans, I am going to vote Democrat.
I am not going to abstain. I am not going to stay home. I am going to show up and vote the bastards out. No matter what.

.... I am going to vote Democrat.
Name one conservative democrat in the House or Senate at this time.
Unfortunately, they'll have to worry about the blame in 2016.Nor really Alice.
As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I can (with little uncertainty) attest to the fact that the whole "winning by losing" strategy never works.And, as a Washington Redskin fan, I can attest that losing can become a way of life.

Real conservatives vote rat.
Voting Democrat over voting for Mitch McConnell is not only a conservative vote, it is the only conservative vote. And I would do it. In a heartbeat.
You can take all your "Repubican" home boys and shove them where the sun don't shine. I will not be voting for any of them. And if they do pop up on the ballot, I will vote Democrat just to get them out. That is just the way it has to be. Not by my doing, but more by people like you.
You think you're pretty smart.
Any conservative who votes for a Democrat is a Democrat. Congratulations on kissing Nancy Pelosi's ass.

I can also attest that throwing money at the problem doesn't fix it.
Stupid is as stupid does should be the fight song of MY team...as it should also be the slogan of the Republican party.
Yet, in all those years as a Redskin fan, watching lose over and over again, you never argued that the best way to get the 'Skins back to their winning ways was to go to their games wearing an Roger Staubach jersey, did you?heh..NEVER.
heh..NEVER.I did pray for Devine intervention and then, one day, magically, a guy named Gibbs showed up.
I'd rather kiss an iguana.
...A nation that would vote for Barack Hussein Obama, TWICE, is doomed.

Well, you'll be kissing Hillary. There ain't a dime's worth of difference between her and an iguana.Urp. Or, er, something.
