Related: About this forumHelp Ditch Mitch: Mitch McConnell Has Got to Go
Yesterday, I told you that for the first time in four months, an independent poll shows Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell running behind his Democratic challenger, Alison Lundergan Grimes. I asked you to contribute to Grimes. If you did, fine. If you didnt, then Im asking again, with more reasons why.
If there is anyone who deserves to lose this year, its Mitch McConnell. Click here to help make it happen.
Alison Grimes herself has captured the essence of what is wrong with McConnell. Here is what she said: If the doctors told Sen. McConnell he had a kidney stone, he would refuse to pass it. Like he refuses to pass everything else.
Here are a few more comments, in response to yesterdays note:
I cant look at that face anymore, and that mean attitude [toward] working Americans. Maura R.
Before filibustering [Elizabeth Warrens bill to refinance student loans] Mitch McConnell took $467,800 from PACs and executives [who] make a profit off the students. - Jeremy C.
Im not a proctologist, but I know an a**hole when I see one. - Ted F.
He is paid for by the Koch Brothers. Has no mind of his own anymore. Jean M.
Hes a disgrace to turtles everywhere. - Mary M.
What a worthless soul. What a worthless life. What a worthless career. Kraig M.
Well, he wanted to make sure Obama was a one-t[er]mer. He was wrong, and now it is his turn to go into retirement, with the voters help. - Viggo L.
Looks like hes been alive since colonial times. - Gene R.
He is out of touch with reality, like the rest of his rich friends in Congress who never practice what they preach. Their religion is money, oil and hating Obama. - Bonnie W.
I am sure there are some really rich people in Kentucky who just love this guy. Why in the world, however, would any of the other 99% vote for him? I just dont get it. Allen H.
That eternal frown comes from knowing hes going straight to Hell when he dies. - Bret H.
And now we have a chance to get rid of Mitch McConnell. If that sounds like something that youd like to do, then left-click right here, my friend.
Our last poignant critique of the esteemed gentleman from Kentucky comes from Joel P.:
I simply loathe this man. He could have done SO much to move our nation forward. And he took the money and the low road, to pit Americans against Americans for the degradation of our political process, our financial well-being, our land, air, and water, our wounded souls.
And now we have this fleeting, once-in-a-sexennial opportunity to expunge Mitch McConnell from public life. Please, show your support for Alison Grimes, if only to send McConnell packing off to Grinchland, KY, or whatever hell-hole he came from.
And as I said yesterday, the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance. If McConnell wins, there is a good chance that he will be Senate Majority Leader on Jan. 5, 2015. If McConnell loses, then it gets very, very hard for the Republicans to take over the Senate. And if Mitch McConnell loses, hes nothing.
Its time to switch. Ditch Mitch!

P.S. As we announced on Sunday, anyone who contributes to our campaign between now and Friday has a chance to win the quadruple-platinum album award that the B-52s (the band, not the bomber) received for their album Cosmic Thing. Thats an award that tastes even better than Rock Lobster.

(14,449 posts)I think he will go. Nobody on either side likes him. Do you really think they would put Ted Cruz as Minority Leader? I have heard whispers of that possibility. Could you just imagine?

(14,449 posts)All is well and Republicans are a "who is next in line" party so it probably will be somebody not in their first term.
