DeceptiCon ruler Mitch McConnell is the ultimate abuser in the relationship of the Republican Party to its base of voters.
During a series of remarks at a Kentucky Chamber of Commerce convention Tuesday, the Senate Minority Leader went right back to his familiar pattern of telling voters they should listen to who he says is acceptable or not acceptable as a 2022 Republican candidate.
Those of you who have walked the deep political weeds with us, will remember the battles against McConnell’s uniparty wing in the 2010, 2012 and 2014 races. This is where McConnell and McCain famously called the base of the GOP “whack-o-birds” and “jihobbits” for supporting unsanctioned Senate candidates like Scott Brown, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and more.
(KENTUCKY) – […] McConnell, speaking at a chamber event in Kentucky, said that 1994 had been the best year for Republicans and that the atmosphere heading into November “is better than it was in 1994.”
“From an atmospheric point of view, it’s a perfect storm of problems for the Democrats,” McConnell said. “How could you screw this up? It’s actually possible. And we’ve had some experience with that in the past.”
“In the Senate, if you look at where we have to compete in order to get into a majority, there are places that are competitive in the general election. So you can’t nominate somebody who’s just sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people and win. We had that experience in 2010 and 2012,” McConnell added. (read more)

This guy is such a profound manipulator it is almost sickening. After the 2008 election, the Democrats had a 60-seat majority. A veto-proof majority. Mitch was the minority with 40 Republican senators in January 2009. It was the Tea Party that changed it all around, starting with Scott Brown in December of 2009.
In the specific races McConnell points out in 2010 and 2012 were races where the Tea Party base of the GOP actually produced more seats for the Republicans, culminating in a successful majority reestablished in the Senate in 2014. The Republicans did nothing with that majority and couldn’t even get rid of the Obamacare mandate which they campaigned on with eight years of promises.
Cocaine Mitch…human 💩
Best if used by “a long time ago” or “PAST its expiration date”
“Imagine a world where food has no expiration date” Some mad scientist
“Your expiration date is right f@#$in’ now!” The Gingerdead Man
Nice – Gingerdead Man – a classic – never heard it before!
Want to clear out the trash in Congress? Here’s just a start.
TERM LIMITS – two terms for Senators – three terms for Representatives.
NO health care for life. It ends when you walk out the door. Buy your own. Being in Congress is a part-time gig – not a career position.
NO pensions for life. Use 401’s or equivalent.
NO “fancy” dining privileges in Congress. Set up the equivalent of military mess hall(s) used by enlisted personnel. They eat the same food as the people who PROTECT them.
All assets go into blind trusts when elected.
No free transportation between DC and home districts. Take the bus.
There…..I feel better.
Oh yes, we see you China Mitch!
.
We will not forget what you have done each time you stuck that turtle head out.
Evil instigators like Mitch McConnell are going after our future generations.
.
Mitch McConnell has opened up his children and other heirs to the Lord’s consequences.
.
May the Lord of Host’s have mercy upon them all.
And his wife ChYna Chao
” What chu talkin bout Willis?
Irrelevant man says what?
Trump tortoise not to listen to The Turtle 🙂
Saw what you did there.
Good one!🤣
Wow😂😂😂
Hehe!!
Well done, very funny
Unfortunately, he still has power as the minority leader.
How very ‘ COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS ‘ of him.

When I vote in the primary, I will only vote for those who guarantee they will vote against current leadership in house and senate, period. Both of the Mc’s have to go.
Agree! I would suggest you also consider not voting for anyone endorsed by the Party, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or unions.
Posting this in the “Notorious Liars” section is very fitting Sundance.
I’ve heard many times that a 3rd party would weaken the Republicans, but it appears to me that we have had 3 parties for some time : Democrats, Establishment Republicans, and MAGA. Go MAGA !!!
Democrats, RINOs, and MAGA
Seems more like democrats/rinos and MAGA.
can we start open Maga republicans revolt against -shameful turle -to bring him down and his sidekick kevin mc carthy ????…..
The Turdle’s arrogant statement indicates that he thinks we haven’t been paying attention.
RINO claims to know who are unacceptable candidates.
😂😂😂
He absolutely has to go….
It’s opposite day! Whoever McConnell suggests simply do the opposite.
Sage advice
Has anyone seen mc’turdle or soros or schwab in the same picture? Or in a mirror?
Well then, why doesn’t he give us his list of “acceptable” candidates. We’ll look it over…and vote for their opponents.
Unacceptable in who’s eyes Mitch. Quit bringing us RINOS.
Hey bitch, I mean mitch, the clowns you support, are spineless, rino lightweights like yourself. Patriots have no time to waste a vote on any gutless rinos.
Yes, Mitch it IS “possible to screw this up”, by rigging the primaries, to knock the populist/nationalist AmericaFirst candidate out of the primary, using “splitter candidates or manufactured “October surprises” so that MAGA voters, disgusted with the ‘lesser of two weavils” choice YOU present them with, stay home, giving the seat to the Dems.
You and yours did it in POTUS in 2012, in Alabama in 2018, in Az in 2018 and those are just obvious examples, that come readily to mind.
It IS going to be a “Red Wave”; the establishment knows this, has anticipated it and will do everything they can to block MAGA candidates from getting in, and if that means a Dem gets the seat, Mitch is FINE with that.
IF,..WE can finally wrest control of Congress and the RNC away from the Uniparty, and make it “Trumps Party”, ALL our issues can be addressed;
MSM control by 6 Corporations can be broken up, thru FCC regulation and anti-trust.
Big tech can likewise be broken up, thru anti-trust and repeal of exemption.
Public education as indoctrination can be ended by National School Choice.
Energy sector can be unleashed.
True election reform can be implemented, like they have in France, Poland, etc.
The Southern border can be secured, and E-verify can be mandatory, Nationwide which will largely address illegal immigration; if you don’t build it, they won’t come (illegally).
The problem is NOT the Dems, the problem is the Rinos.
If we FAIL to wrest control away from the Rinos, there is NO “Political solution” to getting us out of this mess, and a second term for PDJT, would be a repeat of the first.
Of COARSE McConnell must GO, but so must the rest of his Decepticons; Thune, Barrasso, Graham, Blackburn, Grassley,..etc.
And a similar purge must happen in the House, with McCarthy, Scalise, etc.
At the STATE, County and district level as well, there are far too many Rinos, “calling the shots”.
THIS is the battleground; win it, and all is possible, lose it, and NOTHING is possible, by the ballot box.
Who was the splitter in 2018 Arizona-Sherrff Joe?
Yup, I live in Az., and didn’t see him have any campaign events, didn’t even see many lawn signs.
His only purpose was to split the maga vote, to enable Rino McSally to “win” the primary.
I made good on my promise to myself, to NEVER vote for a Rino again.
Synema got in, and frankly that vote I didn’t cast for McSally, is the vote I didn’t cast, that I am proudest of.
Mind you, I DID NOT vote for Synema, but so far am liking her blocking of the agenda, and thinking she is preferable to McSally.
Mitch McConnell is a perfect example of what happens when you marry your Fang Fang.
Chao had way more clout than a cheap prostitute like Fang Fang. Power was the attraction of turdle.
When will McConell and his coven be told that they are the ‘unacceptable’ face of politics.
Can’t vote for Mitch, but if I could he would be the last thing on earth I’d vote for.
Saw and heard Thune a few weeks ago, and I Will NOT vote for him. His first mistake was his praise of McConnell. Second was trying to say he was one of the good ole South Dakotans when he looked like he just stepped out a make-up chair wearing a suit that looked like it cost more than what most of the people in the room made in a month.
Thune must not be the next Majority Leader
If I and many others have our way he will be not be needing to fly to DC next year.
The Uniparty has a “line of succession” that even though it is unwritten, it is as resolute as the official one for POTUS.
Seniority is always OLD, so recognising the leader could die, they have a line of succesion.
To purge the Rinos, we must take them all down.
In the Senate, there isn’t ONE MAGA person. And all those who are Committee chairs, are in the line; Thune, Graham, Grassley, Blackburn, etc.
In the House, its the same; need to get rid of Scalise, and all those in leadership positions.
WE have maybe 6-7; Cawthorn, MTG, Boerbert, Ghomert, Biggs, etc.
WE have a LOT of work to do.
A lot of work–That is why I am learning as much as I can about what is happening in my new state.
Sorry Mitch, we don’t care what you think. You are a minority voice. In fact, why don’t you just go ahead and quit so we can replace you too.
The great 2020 election fraud could have been the launching pad for a glorious new political movement.
Instead, Republican voters (and apparently Trump) have a fantasy that the all that history will evaporate, and the Uniparty will stand down in 2024 and allow Trump to get re-elected.
Mitch McConnell is adamant that Trump is not acceptable. They cheated him once, but they won’t cheat him twice?
Fool me once, it’s your fault. Fool me twice, it’s my fault.
You have it backwards. DJT cheated mcturdle by winning
/s
I absolutely despise Mitch and his DeceptiCon Senate pals. They have allowed this country to be brought to the brink of total ruin, just so they could line their pockets. Traitors all in my book.
The Republican voters are perfectly capable of choosing for whom they will vote, so do us all a favor and withdraw your head back under your turtle shell, Mr. Mitch.
I agree Mitch…uniparty is loser parry. Only MAGA is acceptable. Go f@ck yourself you macchiavelluan toad.
Degoutant.
C’est tout.
Well we are going to have to keep repeating that if there is any threat to regaining the Senate majority it is Mitch, because voters are far from excited to go out and vote for more of the same from him.
He has no power over us.
Really?
Something seems to be happening to these DC Traitors in the Uniparty and to the msm.
They have become very shrill and even stranger.
Desperation perhaps?
A feel of some kind of shift or movement, the lack of their ability to control us and the “message” like they use to be able
I do not know but what ever we are doing it is working.
We do not think it is and feel helpless but I think the whole wide world is in much less control that these Global “elites” want us to ever know.
Cocaine Mitch has taken to comedy now? Has to be because he made me laugh out loud with this.
Go back to selling cocaine (Hunter is fresh out, I here) and leave this to the people who care about the Constitution, the country, liberty, the bill of rights, the right to freedom, including free expression, etc., and leave us the h e double hockey sticks alone, Turtle.
Someone needs to list all the “Mitch approved” senate candidates so we know who to vote against.
Always remember. It’s not just McConnell.
He is not senate Republican leader because of a lottery. He was elected by a very large majority of his GOP colleagues.
Everything McConnell is must be shared by those who endorsed him and gave him the power to define what the Republican senate does or opposes. When McConnell speaks, he speaks for them as well. Listen for any Republican senator who dissents or rejects his statements. You will hear a lone voice or two and nothing more.
Even those ‘lone voices’ weren’t quite ‘lone voices’, considering that not a single one of them ever brought the senate into recess for 4 years, denying the President any recess appointments.
^^^ THIS ^^^
I’d like to know the hold he has over them all.
Mitch the bitch. You may expire any time now, old traitor. You will not be missed.
Unacceptable to who Mitch…The ones that vote for him/her or you?…In other words you don’t get to make that call and it’s why we have elections…Not to vote for who pleases you, but rather, us…So shut up or retire…Preferably both.
I am an unacceptable voter in his mind and that is good
“So you can’t nominate somebody who’s just sort of unacceptable to a broader group of people and win. We had that experience in 2010 and 2012,” McConnell added.
So they gave us McCain and Romney for the lose.
Exactly!
can someone post a list of who should donate to in the senate? I don’t have time to do all the research myself. Working 2 jobs with this insane economy.
Real conservatives need to steel themselves to vote against Cheney, Lisa Murky, and a couple others – even if they win the primary. There is no gain in electing someone like mitt romney or sasse. Just take the loss and win the seat back in 6 years.
Utah will vote LDS no matter what.
Looking for SD’s pic of Mickey Mouse flipping the bird…
FMM
Actually went into our county’s Registrar of Voters today to change from nonpartisan to Republican to specifically vote for the unacceptable candidates in the primary.
Take that turtle!

Who can read this article after the OZ endorsement and not conclude Trump is controlled. Seems he hates MAGA at this point.

This is how you do it. Thank you Gov Desantis
To McConnell, Trump was “unacceptable”.
….and decided to ruin the country because of it. What a legacy McTurtle has given himself.
Sarah Palin endorsements and SarahPAC cash helped many current stalwart republicans gain victory back in the day. Establishment GOP like the Bush’s, McConnell, Romney, hated her because they couldn’t control her just like with Trump.
“I would not be in the U.S. Senate today if it were not for Governor Palin”
– Sen Ted Cruz, 2013 CPAC
Damn, she is tiny!
I hope Kentucky voters take this advice to heart, and vote Mitch out.
Mitch will age out soon, as will Pelosi.
What is important is who he is replaced with in leadership, and that is a vote from his fellow Republicans. We have to make it clear to the 50 or so R’s after the election what is acceptable. It starts with which R’s get nominated to run, but then we have to make things absolutely clear about who they vote into leadership, with consequences larger than the lobbyists who fund so many of them will rain down on them for insubordination.
Such as Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney?
FMM!

So we can look forward to him (and McCarthy, both of whom are already measuring the drapes thinking they’re going to take over & be anointed Leader & Speaker) sulking after “unacceptable” candidates win, come to Washington, and then actually fight for the things they were sent to Washington for, instead of “The Mc’s” desired Uniparty issues, like unbridled spending & supporting of Ukraine with zero scrutiny.
It’s the classic “we can’t push too hard for XXX because we don’t have enough people to pass it now, and if we do push it we won’t get elected in high enough numbers to pass it later…”. But later never ever comes. We gave them House, Senate, and White House in 2020 and all they did was try to stop Trump and the voters that put them there.
Because all they want is the position for the power, prestige, and their pocketbooks
did the CCP give the Turtle permission to speak again?
We did nominate that moron in Nevada
