The Tea Party Is Pissed At Mitch!

The Tea Party is really pissed at Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY). They think he undermines Republicans by assisting Democrats in passing legislation. Despite having the most animosity towards President Barack Obama, it's still not enough for the Tea Party.

Alison Grimes isn't the biggest problem for the veteran Republican senator.

But the latest crap coming from Mitch McConnell's campaign office is certainly going to have Tea Party supporters look at his opponent in the Republican primary.

Mitch McConnell's campaign is none to happy with former South Carolina senator Jim DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund group.

He basically is calling the Tea Party a bunch of damn asses.

I couldn't agree with him more.

I am certainly happy to see the Republicans going at each other. The moderates are frustrated with the conservative extremism. It's ruining their chances at retaking the Senate and possibly the 2016 presidency.

We know how this infighting contributes to the government shutdown and their ineptness to win over voters who normally avoid the party. Mostly those voters perceive the Republican Party as a bunch of bigots and racists.

TPM reports that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) re-election campaign has a response for the Senate Conservatives Fund's (SCF) accusation that McConnell rolled over as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) changed Senate filibuster rules: that's "profoundly stupid."

"That argument is so profoundly stupid that it is hard to fully ascertain whether their deficiency is in math or logic," McConnell campaign spokeswoman Allison Moore told TPM on Friday. "It does however help further illuminate why SCF is so bad at what they do."

"What's stupid is for Mitch McConnell to think that appeasement is a winning strategy," Senate Conservatives Fund executive director Matt Hoskins said to TPM in response to Moore.

Moore's statement on Friday is in response to a fundraising email from SCF, which is backing McConnell primary challenger Matt Bevin, arguing that Reid was able to enact the "nuclear option" removing the filibuster option from judicial and executive nominees.

"Harry Reid did this because he knows Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will let him get away with it,"Hoskins wrote in an email to supporters Friday. "The only way to deter a nuclear attack is to make it clear that the response will be equally devastating. Unfortunately, weakness is the only message Mitch McConnell has sent the Democrats on this issue."

The original statements by both Moore and Hoskins come a day after the Senate rules change. Right after the rules change Bevin's campaign released a similarly critical statement of McConnell.

"Kentuckians deserve better than a pretend leader who does nothing more than wave his arms for the cameras," Bevin said in a statement referring to McConnell.

Democrats hope to beat back Republicans by lining up moderate candidates in states that are considered swing.

Virginia was a test of the powers the Democrats have against the Tea Party. They know that President Barack Obama is too toxic for them, so they'll find alternatives to beat the Republicans.

Lining up people who have professional people to run for elected office give the Democrats a "middle class" feel among their core supporters. I mean a small farmer could be a lawmaker. A doctor could be a lawmaker.

It doesn't matter whether they're Democrat or Republican, if you got a candidate that's strong enough to win voters, you have an advantage.

Alison Grimes is that advantage and I hope that she can uproot this asshole from Washington.
