1. He's counting on our very poor, short-term memories!

Gotcha, Mitch!

[KansDem]

2. GOP = "Gang Of hyPocrites"

I'm tiring of these shit stains...

[merrily]

21. Wouldn't that be Gang of Pooh?

[dickthegrouch]

3. Given that most of what Repubs say is the opposite of the actual truth...

Perhaps he's acknowledging that that unless they do something quick, idiots like himself are about to be crushed by the even more idiotic Tea Partiers.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of fools. Why does almost half the country keep voting for this stupidity?

[Plucketeer]

4. That's one way to look at it

But remember that it was ol' Turtle who vowed their primary mission was to impede the president. And in that respect he was telling the truth.

[SwankyXomb]

5. And by "everywhere"

he really only means his Senate race. As long as Bevin goes down, the Teabaggers can have the rest of it.

[mindwalker_i]

6. Maybe somebody should infiltrate the teabaggers

and point out to them that McConnell has a very punchable face. Just looking at it, one wonder why there aren't a swarm of fists kneading that doughy glob of filibustered flesh continuously, in order to form a more perfect union.

[merrily]

20. Even for Mitch, violence is never the right answer.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

7. There are those in the Tea Party who think Mitch is too damn liberal.

[Iliyah]

8. Commerce and the Koch Brothers are at odds

Both fractions are delusional but one of them figures that lying about their disastrous policies is way ok, hell look at the GOP run states. Majority of the GOP governors lied their asses off getting into office and then made 180 degree turn around, i.e. Walker, Synder, Kaish (sp), Scott, et al.,

[Martin Eden]

9. Quote from Dec 2013 anticipates doing well in 2010?

Methinks 2010 s/b 2014.

[arcane1]

12. I think he was looking back on 2010 in that quote. n/t

[Turbineguy]

10. The advantage of being a republican

your moron base will believe all your bullshit.

[olegramps]

11. The sad fact is that it won't matter to his bat-shit crazy base of nitwits.

[Blue Owl]

13. Give that clown car a nice Turtle Wax

n/t

[Arugula Latte]

14. "We have always been at war with Eastasia. Doubleplusgood."

[certainot]

15. what really matters is what the talk radio blowhards are saying

they produce inform motivate and mobilize most of the teabagging- most of the tea party are talk radio dependent, with a bit of fox whipped cream on that radio lie turd pie

are the talk radio idiots going to pull back to support the mcconnels now, if that's what the GOP establishment wants, and risk alienating their rabid listeners?

doesn't sound like limbaugh is - but he can turn on a dime, can rationalize anything

[SoapBox]

16. The Perpetual Dumbass.

[bayareaboy]

17. Ya ever get the feeling that if turtle man ...

was captured by the other forces. He would give anything up, for any reason. Any reason!

[flying rabbit]

18. Wow

Turtle man don't play. I like to call him... "crusher"

[merrily]

19. On the left of the OP, you see happy tortoise.

On the right of the OP, you see murderous tortoise.





I hope McConnell wins the primary (because even Republicans will not be excited by his candidacy), but loses the race by at least a hare. (Okay, that was not smooth, but I gave it a shot.)

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Turtle boy looking to save his own shell?

[Cha]

23. Must be nice to be a bad sociopathic

turtle and say anything you want and the US corporatemediawhore$$$ won't drill you on 24/7 like they do if a Dem says something they think can get them some traction.. or just make up shit about a Dem.. that works, too.

thanks EarlG for doing your part to shine a light on kochroaches.

[Cha]

24. Actually, I'm thinking maybe all teabagger hell is going to rain down on

ditch mitch..
