Mitch and Trey make a deal?

The pure entertainment over in the Republican Senate primary of Kentucky just got even more fun. In the aftermath of the interesting meeting uncovered between Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, comes this juicy paragraph from a Wall Street Journal story about the rift in the Republican Party between the Teabaggers and Republican leadership (i.e. Mitch McConnell, because he's such a Commie happily riding on the Obama Train to tyranny) :
Mr. Grayson said he was confident that primary voters in Kentucky know him as a "true conservative." He said he speaks regularly with Mr. McConnell, but that he is not shy about criticizing him, particularly on the financial system bailout.

Trey Grayson getting desperate, starting to hit back at Rand Paul

With his primary poll numbers looking awful, Trey Grayson is not only trying to move to the far right, he's starting to directly go after Rand Paul. In the aftermath of Rand requesting to "meet with" Mitch McConnell, Rand answered that he doesn't know if he'd support Mitch McConnell as Minority Leader. This is after months and months of veiled swipes at McConnell for being such a big gubmit librul with the bailouts, and Grayson for being his little protege.

Grayson's response:
Florence, Kentucky – Secretary of State Trey Grayson commented today on an interview Rand Paul did with WHAS-11’s Joe Arnold in which Paul refused to say if he would support Mitch McConnell as Republican Leader of the U.

Did God teabag America?

Rand Paul's campaign manager sez so:
Now is the time to fight back harder than ever to restore America to our God-given greatness and that's why Rand Paul's platform of balanced federal budgets and freedom, capitalism, and real job creation is catching on.Meanwhile, the Grayson crowd keeps up with the "kooky" theme:
On the way out, one fellow fervently waving a Ron Paul sign could be heard mumbling something about black helicopters and the Kennedy assassination.Oh, don't forget about the ACORN census workers herding us into those FEMA concentration camps, either.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell is afraid to step foot in this state, because he's a damned dirty librul soshalist. And the NRSC is, too.

Stock up on popcorn, Kentucky.

Michael Steele sends a letter and survey to 6th District Republicans

Michael "Ballin" Steele sent out a letter last week to select bigshot Republicans in the 6th Congressional District, to give his boyz a "shout out". Proper.

But what's truly alarming is that this letter included something that Glenn Beck and Michele Bachmann have been warning us about: a self-described "Census". Will Michael Steele use this information to round up those who answer his questions incorrectly and send them to FEMA camps? Would he really do that to his homies? What up?

Anyway, the questions in the "census" were loaded with freedom and liberty. Here are some higlights:

Do you believe the huge, costly Democrat-passed stimulus bill will help or hurt America's economy?

Positive economic growth is just what Obama's Commnist Islamofascists want to happen to America.

Danny Briscoe: Faux Democratic consultant?

The state and national media loves going to Democratic consultant Danny Briscoe for quotes.

But as Bob at Blue Bluegrass points out, is this guy really a Democrat? Or only in the sense of the "Democratic consultants" that Fox News brings on to bash Democrats?
Why is Briscoe continuing to be referred to as a Democratic political consultant? While it is true that over 20 years ago he ran Wallace Wilkinson’s campaign, things change.

This is just one of many examples where Republican Danny Briscoe is positively fawning in his praise and adoration of Mitch McConnell.

And in 2008, when McConnell faced the re-election fight of his life, if Danny Briscoe were a Democratic political consultant, he’d be tying McConnell to the 8 years of poisonous Bush policies, and would be supportive of McConnell’s Democratic opponent, right?

Halloween comes early for Humana and Mitch

Americans United for Change is airing this love letter in Louisville to the scaremongers at Humana, and their number one defender of dishonesty, Mitch McConnell:

Dear Louisville tech-savy TV watchers

Is it true that there is currently an ad for Kosair charities running in Louisville with John Yarmuth and Mitch McConnell in which Mitch refers to kids that "fall through the cracks of the healthcare system"?
This coming from the same Mitch McConnell who said just last week that "nothing makes him more angry" than when someone criticizes our healthcare system and says its not the best in the world?
The same Mitch McConnell whose office tried to smear Graeme Frost's family to national media?
If anyone in Louisville can yank this ad and put it on the YouTube..... that would be rather awesome, no?

Mitch McConnell: the enlightened friend of enlightened management

So Mitch McConnell, corporate America's best friend and biggest paid client, says that union membership has declined because workers don't want to join unions and we have "very enlightened mangaement in this country now".

ORLY?

Take it away, Wonk Room:
For starters, an AFL-CIO survey found that there are 60 million American workers who say that they would join a union if they could. The reason that they can’t is because employers threaten to close plants in 57 percent of union organizing drives and threaten to cut wages and benefits in 47 percent, while ultimately firing pro-union workers 34 percent of the time.
And they couldn't have gotten away with doing so if it wasn't for their very "enlightened" friend in the Senate.

Mitch McConnell's faux outrage

Don't get your turkey gobbler all up in a knot, Mitch. We know who you work for.
"Nothing makes me more angry," said Sen. Mitch McConnell at a health care town hall in Kansas City today, "… than the suggestion that America does not already have the finest health care in the world."
One of the best profesional liars in the world, I'll give him that....

Mitch McConnell: Dirty Hippie

Fo realz?!? Fo realz.

McConnell said there is a real danger as long as the weapons, which never should have been created, exist.

*****

"This is one of history's great mistakes," McConnell said. Oh, that's great Mitch. So we just should have unilaterally disarmed and surrendered to the Red Communists bent on destroying us, huh? Maybe we should just surrender to Bin Laden and move the Gitmo prisoners into the US Senate and let them run the show? I'm sure you'd love that, Senator Chamberlain.

Damned hippie...

(PS: consider this on open photoshop contest... he needs some hippie gear, imo...).
