Ol' Mitch Gets Caught Saying His Paid-for Fans are the Sound Crew

http://www.politicususa.com/2014/10/23/mitch-mcconnell-caught-disguise-paid-supporters-sound-crew.html

"Sen. Mitch McConnell was caught in a massive lie today when he told reporters that his paid supporters were sound crew. Other media soon revealed that many of his supporters at rallies were bused in.

McConnell’s claimed that his paid for friends were the sound crew"

But of course. IOKIYAR!

Advertises for paid supporters at his rallies, and then he dodges the subject of having them there when asked.
Somewhere I heard if Louisville/Lexington brings in an extra 80k votes, Mitch is toast. I'll be driving folks to the polls that Tuesday!
