Bevin Says McConnell 'Sold Out' Kentuckians With Default Deal

Republican Matt Bevin said Kentuckians were "sold out" by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for negotiating a debt ceiling increase deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).

Bevin, who is running against McConnell in the Republican Senate primary in Kentucky, released a statement bashing the top Senate Republican Wednesday afternoon after he and Reid cemented a deal to avert a debt default.

Read the statement below:

"When the stakes are highest, Mitch McConnell can always be counted on to sell out conservatives.

"McConnell just negotiated the GOP surrender to Harry Reid, leading the charge to give President Obama a blank check and lifting the debt ceiling once again without any spending reforms. Harry Reid has even praised McConnell for his 'cooperation.'
"After falsely promising that he would fight to eliminate Obamacare 'root and branch,' Sen. McConnell has instead given us more spending, more borrowing, and the Obamacare train wreck with exceptions for liberal pet interests.

"Kentuckians are overwhelmingly opposed to Obamacare. Why does Mitch McConnell refuse to listen to his own constituents?

"McConnell's rotten 'deal' is a slap in the face to ordinary Kentuckians who will be forced to pay for Obamacare's regulations and mandates and this is yet another reason why we are sick of career politicians selling us out.

"The more taxpayers learn about this McConnell-Reid deal, the more they will 'join the fringe' and vote to send conservative values back to the U.S. Senate."

Evidently, the entire state of Kentucky is now on the teabagger shit list because of Obamacare.

Here's another comment from the same poster that also helps further explain their thinking:

Kentucky can go to hell in a handbasket. The people there are flocking to the ACA. We should bring to this fight the discipline of the union workers who hold firm on their strikes and suffer on principle. There can be no worse patriotic move right now than to sign up for Obamacare just to save a few hundred bucks a month. It will end up costing America much more than that.

Takes a minute to truly unpack that one. Everyone who might save money using Obamacare is unpatriotic, destroying America and deserves to rot in Hell for all eternity. Almost wish this was some kind of a liberal plant but the problem is I've met people who think just like this. From the polling it appears the country is finally waking up to the ugly truth of it.

1. I wonder how the government loans

Typically hypocritical GOP shithead.

2. Nobody should be fooled...

This clowns aren't driven by any moral stance or compass other than hating what the Democratic party is perceived to stand for. So when the chips are down they are going to continue to vote for Republicans in the same numbers they always do. No defections. No third parties. None of it. There will be no splinters, no offshoots, no rebellions, no uprisings. None of it.

3. There is no Tea Party, it's the Republican Party.

These assholes are all the same, and responsible for this despicable episode.

The defiant, whiner and flag waver are all Republican assholes.
