Then why the hell does he always vote the way they want him too...

He probably voted "wrong" on ONE thing and now hes a RINO!!

Spread the word. Let 'em go full-out nuts. Yeah, I know, but even more.

The Repukians are willing to compromise basic principles to win at any cost. They consigned themselves to a losing strategy when they aligned their party with the evangelicals and Tea Party nitwits and topped it off with alienating women and minorities. They are the party of the willfully ignorant misinformed lemmings.

"believing the reason that we can’t get as good an outcome as we’d like to get is not because of a Democratic Senate and a Democratic president"

Everyone on the right is unwilling to work with the Democrats, it's just that to be accepted by the tea party you have to scream louder.

The outcome you want is not good, it's just the outcome you want (at all costs)

If you read his statement closely, you will see he did a no-no by tea party standards
he said "Democratic Senate and a Democratic president"
to be a good tea partier he should have said
"Democrat Senate and a Democrat president"
He didn't go the extra mile to be obnoxious.

He's going to stand up to himself. I hope he does get beat in a primary by a more rabid t-bagger.

talking points as it headed the whole country off the cliff.

you can't quit team limbaugh or you're done. you own it and you can't do shit without it mitch

House can come from Democrats and sensible republicans. They can send the TP group to the garbage where they belong and maybe we can get this country back on track.

that there are no sensible Republicans. There are the far-out crazy ones and the to-the-moon-and-back crazy ones. Their crazy is a matter of degrees. They ran off all the moderates in their party and distilled it to its thickest, most toxic sludge. Now, they're engaged in a civil war between the factions of the super wing nut cases and the super-duper ones that are so glaringly idiotic that they'll destroy their village to protect it.

Let Senator Grimes worry about teabaggers.

Ah, 2014 looms on the horizon. Guess he sees the light! Too late.

What gives conservatism its bad name is conservatism as defined by the idiots now in office. When they have to "sell" their platform to the people that vote for them, they acknowledge that they do not represent the people, they represent the money that is funneled to them.

Who's the most batshit of all?

"Whaddya mean ME??"

He only cares now because his job is on the line.

Until they turned their guns on him. Funny how a dose of hardball politics can change one's view. But it matter little whether McConnell survives the Tea Party challenge because it would still leave in place dysfunctional government unless the Democrat unseats the Republican candidate.

You know, like a frightened turtle...

To "stand up to" the utter nonsense from tea party purists. The same utter nonsense he has always gone along with and never had an unkind thing to say about? Gee turtle man, what changed? It's good policy when the tea party challenges and defeats dozens of your colleagues but when your name is on their bullet it becomes utter nonsense? Enjoy your primary Mitch. And don't worry too much, whoever they elect will be just as big a hypocrite as you.
