    Exactly. This may turn into much more, but the truth is even if no one chooses this as a worthwhile cause to donate to, without spending a penny we've already caused McConnell a huge headache in the national media. After all the bad votes, it's the least Kentuckians could do for everyone's favorite senator!

    McConnell already has 8 million in the bank and hasn't even started fundraising yet.

    He is not going down no matter what the Tea party or the media says or does.
    Quit telling me what to do. You can't centrally plan the liberty movement. I never really thought Ron Paul would be president, and I kept that to myself while sending him a ton of money by my standards.

    If you want to waste a whole lot of time, tell libertarians not to fight the system. Just shut up and support the best people.

    This is dumb.I hope they are just bluffing in order to hold McConnell's feet to the fire,along with Liberty Pac.

    It is their time,energy and money,but it is a fool's errand and they will get none of mine.
    Nancy Pelosi is a much worse threat to Liberty than McConnell will ever be,but it would be even more stupid to mount an expensive resource consuming campaign against her for the exact same reason,it is bound to fail.

    Tilting at windmills.

    Hey, if they have money to spend, they should spend it on a Kemper run! That would be awesome. He couldnt win, but the name recognition from the race would help him in the future.

    Benton says McConnell is a liberty-lover, what more do you people want?

    Exact words? Ughh. Poor Jesse....

    My only concern is that he will be able to fool many conservatives with that talk. And of course that is why McConnell hired him.

    We don't hold the flame that attracts McConnell; as such, it is impossible to hold his feet to that fire. Tilting at windmills is thinking you could sway one of the head goons to our side.

So advocates of liberty must reject incremental approaches and fight boldly for bedrock principles.

    But Mitch McConnell has shown that regardless of the political party or the public sentiment, he will be an unwavering defender of our constitutional rights.
    lololololol

    I hope he goes down to whoever ends up challenging him. Even if it is an avowed and open communist - it would be an improvement. Freedom will never come through the political process if we stay under the banner of a party that uses our rhetoric to stay in power and shut us out. Let alone endorse and fundraise for it.

    Frankly, I don't think we're working hard enough to knock down the ring-leaders of tyranny. There is absolutely NO excuse as to why Boehner, after every stunt he pulled throughout the 2012 campaign and then with the Purge, is still Speaker of the House. NONE.

    McConnell losing his position would be like the DooLittle Raid in Japan following Pearl Harbor.
    If something bad happens, we will be blamed. If something good happens, we will get no credit. If nothing happens, we will be forgotten.

    +1. Even if he doesn't win, dragging his ass through the mud and showing everyone who McConnell really is will go a long way towards getting his ass out of that seat. Boehner, McConnell, Pelosi, Reid etc are not royalty. People need to make them accountable to their treason. Making these people focus towards just keeping their seat is time and money they can't spend taking our rights away, too.
