Which you follow up with being bothered "to see his opponent as someone that is so willing to be this kind of person" without acknowledging that McConnell is also "that kind of person."

I'm also not trying to defend McConnell am I? Do you have an opinion of the ad?

I am pretty sure all politicians call this "campaigning." Of course I am sure McConnell would never and has never lied about a political opponent.

Should there be some sort of repercussion for inventing such lies wholesale to deceive the sheep into voting for you?

Grimes sits with retired coal miner Don Disney that says "I want to know how you (McConnell) could have voted to raise my Medicare costs by $6,000. How are my wife and I supposed to afford that?" Except, McConnell did no such thing.
Oh. I see. Only McConnell is allowed to lie.

What do you think about Lundergan's lies?

It's O.K. to call Obama a Kenyan because he lies also?

I'm supporting democrat Alison Grimes against Mitch McConnell. I think the GOP can still win the senate without his seat. It is time to send a message to the RINO establishment that Tea Party conservatives have a place in this party and that there will be no GOP without us. After Mitch goes down the other red state RINOs will fall in line. What good would it do to win the senate and have this RINO as majority leader.

The Tea Party totally needs to kick it up and push the Tea Party ideology as much as they can for this election season.

Anyone feeling sympathetic to Mitch McConnell because of attack ads used against him needs to research just how he was elected in the first place. In 1984, he was trailing incumbent Senator Dee Huddleston badly until Roger Ailes thought up an attack ad where a hound dog was hunting Huddleston because he was "missing key votes". (In actuality, in the 3 years prior to the election, Huddleston cast votes 94% of the time, which was one of the best attendance records in the Senate.) That slimy, unanswered attack ad, plus Reagan's landslide was enough to let Mitch slither to victory.
