Leakers are everywhere these days
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, facing re-election fights next year from a Tea Party primary challenger and a Democrat running close in early polls, was the subject of derisive comments by his own campaign manager, according to an audiotape that surfaced Thursday.
Jesse Benton, who joined McConnells campaign last summer, privately told a conservative activist that he was suffering through the job in order to benefit Rand Pauls expected presidential run in 2016. Between you and me, Im sort of holding my nose for two years because what were doing here is going to be a big benefit to Rand in 16. So thats my long vision, Benton told a conservative activist in a private phone call. The recording, first published by EconomicPolicyJournal.com, was made in January, according to the website.

(37,726 posts)my job of work was to polish a couple of large and stinky turds like Mitch and Rand. If you think the country is on the ropes now, wait until the reich wingers install Rand Paul in the White House. It won't be a long day at the dentist's office then it'll be like a 4 year 24/7 trip to the dentist, without any local anesthetic. Rand needs to move to Montana soon and become a dental floss tycoon and leave the running of the country to a non-idiot.(democrat)

I think Rancid would put a golden crown on every republican on the fortune 500 the first day.
