BWAHAHA: Rand Paul Supporters HOPE To DEPOSE Mitch McConnell: ' HE'S An EMBARRASSMENT,
' Takes Away Our Liberties '.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Better start looking over your shoulder Mitch because the ' Paulites ' have you pegged as the fast-talkin grifter embarrassment who is only interested in covering his OWN ass.



" Kentucky Republicans will head into the voting booth on Tuesday to decide whether Rand Paul, the “tea party” candidate and son of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), or Secretary of State Trey Grayson receives the nomination for the U.S. Senate. Paul has shocked many political observers by maintaining a double-digit lead in the polls over the past few months on Grayson, the hand-picked protégé of Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).


With McConnell appearing in ads for Grayson, many view the the race as a referendum on McConnell’s leadership. McConnell tried to shake that perception on Meet the Press this morning, claiming that this is a “race between two non-incumbents” and not about him.


At a Saturday campaign event in Lexington, Paul’s supporters had nothing nice to say about McConnell, scorning him as a “liberal,” “an embarrassment,” and an advocate of the bank bailout passed under Bush:


PAUL SUPPORTER: Mitch McConnell is abhorrent. He’s an embarrassment. Honestly, people like him have got to go, and I think if Rand get’s in there he’s going to set a precedent for how a small government conservative or classical liberal should conduct themselves.


PAUL SUPPORTER2: He supported amnesty and he voted for the bailout when there was a Republican president pushing it. We don’t need that.



In the House, there are dozens of tea party primaries challenging incumbent Republican lawmakers and other party-picked candidates. Many in this tea party movement view McConnell and other establishment figures with as much suspicion as they view Democrats. McConnell is known for his heavy use of earmarks and is viewed as extremely cozy with entrenched corporate interests.


watch it:

1. The advantage of non-partisanship
If we were all non-partisan, we could evaluate our politicians for their honesty, what they do for the greater good of the USA, and not what the media pundits try to tell us, and not what Party they represent.

2. McConnell had a bit of a scare in the last election.
But I don't know how much of an improvement a libertarian would be.

10. I don’t think that it matters if the libertarian is actually an improvement
He will be a junior senator with little political power and it is always easier to get rid of a one-timer than a six (+) timer

4. I hope that idiot Paul gets in.
He'll soon find out that part of a Senator's job is TO BRING HOME THE BACON for the state he represents.


The morons that support him are completely ignorant of just how that works in this country; if Rand just sits on the sidelines and does nothing to go after those Fed funds for his state, sitting on his goofy Randian ideals, someone else will be drinking his milkshake.

And the people that voted for him will be wondering why Kentucky's roads will be falling apart.

Their constituents will be the first to get out the torches and pitchforks when the infrastructure falls apart.

11. Hey is that about Mitch McConnell, the famous liberal? These people are
pretty funny - the GOP has been using the Baggers since the beginning to snipe at Obama and the Democrats, and they began to take themselves seriously...now the GOP has to take them seriously.

Hey, Mitch - remember "anger at the incumbents"?
(That's YOU!)
