Back in 2009 Senator Jim DeMint began the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF).  The goal was to fund conservative candidates of like-minded association who could join with DeMint and push back against the establishment class of big government Republicans, the Decepticons.
DeMint’s efforts brought forth folks like Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Tim Scott and a guy named Ron Johnson from Wisconsin.
However, during  the recent defund Obamacare fight, Senator Johnson pulled the “Robert The Bruce move” and was the only member of the Tea Party supported Senate Conservative team to break ranks.    Johnson sided with the Decepticons and Democrats and voted to approve “cloture”.  [If you ever saw the movie Braveheart you know who Robert The Bruce is – That’s Ron Johnson].
Since then he has been on a campaign to get back his credibility, his old image, and hide his Decepticon infection.     We will provide no cover for him – nor will we forget.
Johnson’s latest self-serving exploit was to present the GOP weekly address today:

We harbor no illusions as to the importance of the Kentucky Senate Race in 2014.   The primary, which takes place in May, will determine far more than the next Senator from Kentucky.
That’s why Mitch McConnell will attack Matt Bevin relentlessly and he will use the full weight of the establishment GOP Republicans to do it.
If Mitch McConnell wins – Conservatives will have lost.  Period.  McConnell MUST be defeated.

FRANKFORT — Saying there should be no doubt that he intends to win the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate next year, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin filed Friday to try to unseat Republican incumbent Mitch McConnell.
Bevin’s wife, Glenna, and Larry Forgy, a Lexington attorney who lost the 1995 GOP bid for governor and is an ardent opponent of McConnell, signed Bevin’s filing papers in the office of Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes in the Capitol.
Grimes is expected to be the Democratic nominee in next year’s U.S. Senate race, which political observers have estimated will cost $100 million in campaign spending.
Bevin, a well-heeled investment manager in Louisville, had announced in July that he would be a candidate. He has founded several firms and has invested in companies with interests ranging from manufacturing to software. (more…)

OY, this level of arrogance is merely reflective.    Rand Paul says Mitch McConnell challenger, Matt Bevin, is a “good, honest, Christian man”.    McConnell’s campaign manager gets tweeked and says Rand Paul misspoke. 
The arrogance of the power hungry McConnell people is astounding.   I’m thinking Rand Paul can speak for himself, but that’s just me…. 
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Tea party darling Rand Paul has endorsed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, [the reason is well outlined HERE] but he’s saying kind words about McConnell’s GOP primary challenger, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin.
Paul referred to Bevin as a “good, honest, Christian man” and said he doesn’t have anything bad to say about McConnell’s challenger. Paul made the comments Friday in Louisville, shortly after Bevin filed to run against McConnell in next May’s GOP primary in Kentucky. (more…)

WHAT ?  The future of all Washington DC political aspirations for conservatives.
WHEN?  About 6 months from now, in May of 2014, the “real” Republican primary candidate for the 2016 Presidential election will be determined.
WHO?   In Kentucky – Significantly less than 2 million people will decide who the next GOP presidential nominee is.
WHY?   If Senator Mitch McConnell wins his primary race he will retain full control of all Republican objectives for the next 6 years.   He could, in actuality, then become the Majority Leader in the Senate – and he will select Chris Christie to represent Republicans.

There is a solid background article written in Politico Mag which EVERYONE should read.  CLICK HERE – Yes, Politico is a left leaning propaganda machine; however, the article itself gives a very honest presentation of how King Mitch does business.  Make sure you read the entire article.

“McConnell isn’t a liberal, a conservative or a moderate,” said Horowitz, whose group also has endorsed Bevin. “His ideology is power. That’s all he cares about.”

KENTUCKY – U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is a vocal critic of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act and its glitch-stricken website, HealthCare.gov, repeatedly calling for repeal of the law “root and branch.”
“At this point, senators from both parties can agree: HealthCare.gov is a rolling disaster. Every day seems to bring more, newer comic calamity,” McConnell, R-Ky., said Oct. 29 in a Senate floor speech. “The only thing the website seems to be good for right now is creating punch lines for late-night comedians.”
However, since 2011, McConnell has accepted more than $75,000 in political donations from health care giant UnitedHealth Group, which owns the technology company that helped build and launch HealthCare.gov for a reported $155 million and now is responsible for fixing it. (more…)

Internal polling numbers (DNC) in the states with Senators up for re-election, must be beyond terrible.   “Panicking”: a sudden, overpowering terror, often affecting many people at once.  Horrific Fear – A sudden widespread alarm.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday will convene a special meeting of the Senate Democratic caucus and senior White Officials  ( <—  Denis McDonough / ValJar ) to discuss the troubled rollout of ObamaCare.

Reid on Wednesday told reporters he would not answer questions about the hundreds of thousands of insurance policy cancellations or other issues until he has further discussions with the White House.

The Senate leader said President Obama called him Tuesday evening to discuss healthcare and other issues. (more…)

An “Un-Civil War Inside The GOP”?   You are seeing it come out in discussion. Some pundits are talking about it;  but few, if any, are connecting the dots, walking out the long term consequences, and talking about the real “why now” reason.

TOO BIG TO FAIL – The white wine spritzer drinking -crust-less sandwich triangle eating- crowd of big money donors, are now being leveraged by the establishment class of entrenched, power hungry, old school, K-Street Republicans for one reason, and one reason only.
Their king, Mitch McConnell, is in trouble. And they consider him Too Big To Fail.
Insert URGENT Bailout DEMAND Here.
Period. Full stop. End of reason.
FOLLOW THE DOMINOS – The uncivil war within the GOP will immediately stop if Mitch McConnell can be defeated in the Kentucky primary race.   Between now and that moment  the uncivil war will continue in exponentially increasing intensity as piles and piles of cash are demanded by the Decepticon Establishment class.

The “Vulnerables” (pictured below) have been given the green light to yell, scream, ridicule, gnash teeth, disparage and belittle President Obama, HHS, The White House and Obamacare.   Free reign on the optics, BUT ONLY THE OPTICS. 
They are free to do/say anything to save themselves in order to make “appearances” better for them in the face of their constituents.  However, they are not allowed to structurally do anything which might change the law itself.
WASHINGTON DC – Democratic senators facing voters next year are willing to give the White House time to resolve the glaring problems with Obamacare.
Very little time.

At the pleading of senior White House officials, Senate Democrats are holding off on demands to delay major aspects of the health care law until the Obama administration has the opportunity to fix the website problems that are thwarting enrollment in the program.
Democratic senators facing reelection have a green light to bash the White House and call for certain legislative fixes. But they’ve been urged by senior administration officials not to insist on delaying the controversial law’s core: The mandate for individuals to purchase insurance coverage or face penalties.

No need to drag this out.    Democrat Terry McAuliffe WINS !   

AS EXPECTED – The electorate around the Washington DC area, who are dependent on BIG GOVERNMENT, voted overwhelmingly to protect their place at the TROUGH and their livelihoods.   AS did the ethnically divided Newport area.  The rest of the state voted generally for Cuccinelli.
