I still don’t understand how more Kentuckians don’t have a bad opinion of McConnell. He is the ultimate Washington insider, out of touch with the rank-and-file and pretty sleazy on top of it. First torpedoing Bunning and now lying to Dobson. Give me a break. Wish we could get a new candidate when he’s up for election. But now it’s Rand Paul’s race to lose and I doubt that’s going to happen. Thank goodness.

I hope this endorsement doesn’t help Greyson. He must have felt desparate to openly endorse him as that is odd to alienate a large fraction of your own party in your own state.

Dobson needs to do some homework obviously, Paul got caught lying on his Pro-life score recently for starters:

http://www.newsrealblog.com/2010/04/24/rand-paul-caught-lying-about-pro-life-survey/

and this isn’t a first, see the link related to Israel/Adam Kokesh(nutjob) at the bottom.

Rand holds his fathers positions, which are rhetorically pro-life. In practice not so much, which is why in recent years Paul has had NARAL ratings of 65%. He’s a crank.

These establishment republicans in congress know how to play “word games” to get the support of conservatives but in truth do not share the bulk of our values. If we aren’t careful, we are going to see the control flip back to republicans but have the same game played by republican senators during The Bush Administration. This is really going to be a tough slog changing the principles of republican senators in Washington DC.

One thing is for sure though, giving them our money right now is no better than flushing it down the toilet.

and everyone already knew McConnell favored Trey…. AND Dobson’s switch of his endorsement came AFTER the poll.

I’d say Trey is in trouble.

But while Paul is a better candidate against the Dems, as well, this mass attack posture by Trey’s campaign is hurting both GOP candidates for the general. If Trey REALLY cared about the GOP keeping this seat, he’d cut it out with the misleading attack ads.

passed in the Current Congress will mostly all be in the Senate, one doesn’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling. Whatever happened with Brown being the 41st vote against this administration’s destructive polices, or did that just apply to Obombmacare?

Can we call McConnell a Progressive Republican yet?

McConnell should be considered at the top of the list of detriments to the country at this time. I know that is exstensive.

This isn’t simply for this incident.

McConnell refuses to acknowledge that he is not a conservative and that he does not want the country to shift back to constitutional government but rather remain a progressive one. Who else would have Charlie Crist on the cover of the NRSC until the day before he turns independent?

Although it will make Obama’s campaigners happy, I think it is time to lambast McConnell daily, if not more, for the NON-conservative person of non-integrity that he is.

Not one penny to any of the national GOP organizations until he is either counseled/shifted…or out of office.

If the core of the Senate is conservative, now is the time to start opening your mouth and not leaving the battles to one or two Senators to fight. If the majority of the Senators are going to demonstrate “rat-speak” and progressive types of “progressive double-talk” …you should consider yourself as bad as McConnell….and not worthy of support.

This is not only about the race in Kentucky, but rather the requirement to shift hard and fast back to constitutionhal principles. MCConnell ……and Senators like McCain, would be glad to allow the country to go progressive. It is time to start making it clearer to the country…..daily.

seriously, is Red State now allied with the likes of Adam Kokesh to spite the ‘establishment’ who are pandering to national moods and the idea of building a majority in a 50/50 nation with Moderates deciding national elections?

Dobson is no leader of evangelicals. He’s done some good things to help parents raise their children, but in politics he’s been a disaster.

He certainly doesn’t speak for me as a Christian, nor any of my Christian friends.

And really, aren’t these elections becoming a war between McConnell and DeMint, and no longer really about the candidate and whether or not they will represent the wishes of the voters that will send them to Washington? Now, given the choice, I’d certainly choose DeMint over McConnell for leadership, but I’m also not willing to trade one tyrant for another.

I agree with a general point of this post, which is that it’s time for Mitch to leave the Senate.

I do have to respond to this statement, though:

“Lying to James Dobson is the American protestant equivalent of lying to the Pope.”

Simply not true. Dobson speaks for only a certain segment of American protestants. Frankly, I’d feel pretty confident in saying that a majority of American protestants have no idea who James Dobson is.

My guess is…it was Mitch McConnell…Grayson his lackey

Mitch torpedoed Bunning and hand picked Grayson to replace him

We can thank McConnell the so called brilliant tactician for slow walking us to nationalized health care complete with messaging amendments…and now he doubles down and lies to a public figure to get his endorsement as if Dobson wouldn’t be able to burn him for the deception in the end…

Brilliant tactician my rosey red AXX

I was stunned when Boehner in the House and McConnell in the Senate were allowed to keep their leadership positions after the 2008 elections. Obviously the Republican leadership is more loyal to itself than to the will of the people.

Mitch is still playing the good ole buddy network. Grey Treyson career politician is going to be looking for work.

Like Sen. John McLame, it is time for him to go home and stay home. Both are good reasons for term limits as are others i.e. Sens. Richard E. Byrd, Chuck Tumer, John Kerry, & the late Ted Kennedy. Once entrenched with seniority, they can’t be gotten rid of once they forget that they actually work for the people who elected them as opposed to ruling from their God-like lofty positions in the Senate with all the limos and perks. After WWI, the expression, “Once they’ve seen gay Paree, they won’t go back to the farm!” applies to going to Washington, DC as an elected member of Congress. It becomes all about power and money and after that, who cares about the peons in the hinterlands anywhere outside the beltway.

I’m a Kentuckian who used to think a lot of Mitch but my opinion changed after seeing the way he undercut Bunning. I don’t dislike the guy but I’d say I’m not real fond of him, either.

A FWIW: There are Rand Paul yard signs “everywhere” throughout northeast KY and bumper stickers (to include mine), as well. I have yet to see one Grayson sign. No sure if that means much but it is a fact in this area of the Commonwealth.
