Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on a conference call organized by Karl Rove’s Crossroads organization for large donors and their advisers on Oct. 30 that the Tea Party movement, in his view, is a “nothing but a bunch of bullies” that he plans to “punch … in the nose.”
On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. “The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular,” the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.But the most memorable line came at the end of the call.
“McConnell said the Tea Party was ‘nothing but a bunch of bullies,’” the source said. “And he said ‘you know how you deal with schoolyard bullies? You punch them in the nose and that’s what we’re going to do.’”

ReplyDeleteI'm not going to ever vote for a Democrat again, want to include Republicans, too?
Not much difference at the top, that's for sure.
DeleteI'm sure Mitch was speaking metaphorically and not making an actual threat of physical violence. In the same spirit, let me say that I am going to-speaking metaphorically, of course--rip the arms off of and beat senseless with their own bloody limbs every member of the Political Class who had anything to do with promoting National Socialist Health Care (In a caring, sensitive, non-bullying way, of course).
ReplyDeleteAfter all, turnabout is fair play. :)
DeleteI would imagine that McConnell and his fellow RINOs feel just a tiny bit threatened by all those young upstarts, and they are lashing out not only in anger but fear.
ReplyDeleteKinda like the dinosaurs did when their time at the top of the food chain was coming to an end.
threatened by all those young upstarts, and they are lashing out not only in anger but fear.
Delete100%.
Democrats or Republicans just two sides of the same coin. All any of them care about is their master's orders and how much they can stuff in their own pocket.

DeleteMy guess is that he's going to lose to a Tea Party candidate next year.
