Bluegrass Politics @BGPolitics

McConnell camp says it's demanding TV stations not show new Dem ad saying he reshuffled his investments after Treasury calls. #kysen ^JC

1. Screw him

[bulloney]

39. McConnell's the clown that always argues against campaign finance limits on the grounds

it restricts "free speech."

What is it Turtleman? Do you support free speech in campaign ads or not?

Geez, what a douchebag hypocrite. If he's re-elected, I've lost the little faith I have left in the American voters.

[madokie]

40. And its not just him that are hypocrites either

pretty much the whole puke party are.

How a working man or woman can vote for a republiCON is beyond my understanding. Its like cutting ones nose off to spite their face. it's stupid

[Takket]

53. ^^^ this!

[Journeyman]

2. Damn good ad. Easy to see why McConnell wants to squelch it. . .

all the more reason to run it 40 times an hour from now until well-past election day.

[Enthusiast]

3. LMAO! McConnell, you old turtle fuck! Yer goin' down!

[ReRe]

4. He sold Kentuckians out...

... farther back than 2008. He doesn't give a shit about Kentuckians. He cares about Mitch, only.

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. It's about damn time

someone is taking this election season seriously - GET OUT THE VOTE DEMS!

[loudsue]

6. The ad is not available.

I guess there are people making sure DUers don't run the ad too?

[Shrike47]

7. The ad was there for me, and mighty interesting. It would cause me to think.

However, I suspect many voters would vote Republican or Democratic no matter what.

[The Wizard]

8. Democrats should

put this on every 20 minutes. Everyone should know McConnell is a crook. And everyone should know the details of his mysterious "discharge" from the Army during the Vietnam War.

[leanforward]

28. Mysterious discharge?

I had no idea there was RVN in his background. Hadn't wasted my time on his background. In that regard, thank you for the information.
More to the point, he needs a proper discharge. I'd say a lot more, but we're in mixed company and I don't want to offend anyone.

[kimbutgar]

30. I heard on Michael Thompson on Sirrus one day that everyone in DC know he is a closeted

Gay. That might be the reason he was discharged in the 60's. And during the bush years I saw this photo on an obscure website that showed him getting pleasured. I thought it was photoshopped but now I wonder if it was real.

I still don't know if he's gay but he is one ugly man who I as a woman would not want to come near me in any way.

[lancer78]

31. Being Gay

is no longer relevant.

[kimbutgar]

33. In Kentucky it would be

I live in San Francisco and I love and respect many of my LGBT brothers and sisters. But something tells me this would not go over big in Kentucky if Mitch came out.

[The Wizard]

42. When you're a leader of a group

that thinks people like you are less than human it has to play on your ability to reconcile your identity. No wonder he's always so angry.

[daleanime]

36. But the ugliest of his soul....

isn't.

[Politicalboi]

45. It IS since he votes against the LGBT issues

He comes out with his "beard" and pretends he's just like them. And if it's not relevant, he should let the voters know he's proud and gay. He would lose thousands of votes if he's exposed. Creeps like him deserve to be outed.

[whistler162]

38. So you think you might have

maybe have seen a photo on some obscure website some place on the Internets! OKAY!!!!!

[kimbutgar]

47. I heard it on the radio and I saw this picture.

I don't know turtle man but I see his actions. He surely hates himself for reasons I can not explain or wish to know.

If you really read what I wrote I was still not entirely sure what McConnell is all about. I was just speculating as an observer.

I am at the stage now that I have to check sources on the internet before I come to conclusions. It's called critical thinking instead of knee jerk reactions.

[Heather MC]

9. Aww poor turtle doesn't like people knowing he only gives a fuck about himself

[barbtries]

10. boo hoo

you can't tell the truth. i hope he loses!

[BuelahWitch]

11. Kickin' for the truth! n/t

[lastlib]

12. that's gonna leave a BIG, ugly mark

Hey, Turtle, you're s'posed to have a thick shell, not a thin skin! you filthy lyin' worthless, self-serving basturd.

[Chasstev365]

13. They'll Still Re-Elect Him

After all, he's stopping the Liberal, Muslim, Communists, Black Man; er... I mean President, from destroying America.

[tavernier]

24. Sadly, you're probably right.

That ad won't run on Fux news.

[Stuart G]

14. This is the first time Mc Connel has had to even defend himself for this.

And more important, this happens 10 days before the election. Usually, it is Mc Connel who really hits 10 days before the election.. It was in the last election, if I recall about 2 weeks before election when there was this devastating ad about his opponent that made news. I recall how ugly that was...so this is ugly too.

Wanting to take a commercial off of TV because it is too rough or not telling the truth is not what Republicans do. "Oh, this is wrong", Mc Connel says, well what about what he has said about Grimes? It makes him look like the turd his is..I sure hope he looses.

[BrotherIvan]

15. I'm BrotherIvan, and I approve this message

Why can't they do this all the time? FIGHT and you'll win. I'm so happy to see them call this depraved lowlife out and it probably only works with a new candidate because too many entrenched Democrats are guilty of it too. Very well played. Great picture choice as well. The preachers must be working overtime for their masters to get the word out that God will send them to hell if they don't vote for this shithead.

[sakabatou]

16. Turtle hates the truth

[valerief]

17. Great ad!

[blkmusclmachine]

18. If he did no wrong, then he has nothing to fear.

[Historic NY]

19. BOOM.

[NastyRiffraff]

20. So, did he deny what the ad said?

Or just demand that TV stations not run it?

[relayerbob]

21. TFB, Jerk

[calimary]

22. Tough shit, mcconnell. If you did the crime, it'll make air time.

I hope this sinks him once and for all.

And even if worse comes to worst, and the Senate flips over to the Dark Side, wouldn't it be EXQUISITELY lovely if HE lost and had to watch his presumptive "entitlement" (the Senate Majority Leader's position and all its perks) go to somebody else?

[B Calm]

23. Is that called inside trading?

[EEO]

25. It's legal for members of Congress. And no one else.

[EEO]

26. Very effective ad. No guns or horses. I like it.

[BillZBubb]

27. Don't know what impact the ad will have, but

it is great to see the Democrats actually FIGHTING for a change.

[leanforward]

29. Insider trading?

In his position, when others have trouble putting food on the table. All the more reason for a proper discharge.

[Cha]

32. Oh BooHoo mitch..

[2naSalit]

34. Oh Nooes!!

Time to call the WHAAAAAMBULANCE!!!

[blackspade]

35. Call the whaaaambulance turtleman!

[oldandhappy]

37. Anyone have a link to the ad?

I cannot get it here. Thanks.

[Brother Buzz]

41. No You Tube? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sba-0YDYkj0

[world wide wally]

43. I'm sure Dems will be apologizing within a few days

[hatrack]

46. Actually, I was hoping they'd apologize "If anyone was offended by the ad".

[Rex]

44. Here I found something just for Mitch!

[alfredo]

48. Fuck you Mitch

[whereisjustice]

49. McConnell clearly knows how to wax his own turtle. eom

[Maineman]

50. I love the ad!

[catbyte]

51. Ouch, lol

I hope this runs every hour on the hour until election day.

[Maineman]

52. I bet he defends insider trading for Senators. He is scum at its worst.

[Tatiana]

54. "What good is CLOUT if McConnell sells us OUT?"

LOVE THIS!!!

And now... it's up to the good folks of Kentucky to start asking questions. Why so many phone calls to the treasury secretary?

This is really how you do it. The best part is the ad concludes by addressing the #1 reason disgruntled Republicans are told to vote for Mitch: because he would become Majority Leader, and consequently, have this enormous amount of clout that would somehow benefit the people of Kentucky. This ad makes the point that Mitch looks out for Mitch and only Mitch.

Good job by this PAC stepping in and giving Alison some additional help.

[JDPriestly]

55. K&R.

[southerncrone]

56. Wah, wah! Truth hurts!

[Rex]

57. Hey found some more of these for Lord Mitch!

[grahamhgreen]

58. Love it!!!
