Democrats, Tea Party Unite vs. Mitch McConnell
« on: January 28, 2013, 11:23:06 AM »
Tea party activists looking to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a GOP primary may get some help from an unlikely source: Democrats.

Big Democratic donors, local liberal activists and a left-leaning super PAC in Kentucky are telling tea partiers that they are poised to throw financial and organizational support behind a right-wing candidate should one try to defeat the powerful GOP leader in a 2014 primary fight.

Dims are playing with fire.

Strengthening your enemies enemy is never a good idea, when the enemy you strengthen has the majority on their side.
I hope they repeat this all over the country. :laugh:

The enemy of my enemy is my friend... Or something like that.

The strategy worked pretty well in Missouri when Democrats helped get Todd Akin the nomination.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

McConnell for all his faults has actually been quite effective against Reid. McConnell is one of the main reasons why Reid tables so many bills...

Missou is a Republican state and, prior to Akin's rape comments, it was a near certainty McCaskill was going to lose. I can't recall a Democrat, in a Democratic state equatable, that had the same thing happen to them.


Regardless, cheer up, McConnell is probably going to win his primary and general elections handily.
