To Kentucky: retire McConnell, choose Bevin!

As the schism within the Republican Party has become blatantly apparent over the past month, particularly between the quisling leadership and principled conservatives, intentions are being charted out by the conservative movement in what some might deem a last-ditch effort to save the party from complete irrelevancy...starting with the Senate leadership...

TheHill: Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) primary challenger got a boost Friday with the endorsement of a prominent national conservative group, the Senate Conservatives Fund. But one other national conservative group, the Club for Growth, praised McConnell shortly after SCF jumped into the race — a possible indication conservatives may have some reservations about his ability to compete in a general election.

The endorsement of Matt Bevin comes just days after the fund blasted McConnell for his role in working toward a deal to end the government shutdown, charging in an email to supporters Tuesday that he was "leading the surrender" of the GOP.

The SCF explains that this particular election comes down to choosing between a 'courageous conservative' working class businessman and a nearly 30-year entrenched 'Washington insider':

SCF: The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) endorsed Louisville businessman Matt Bevin for U.S. Senate in Kentucky on Friday. Matt Bevin is challenging U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in the Republican primary election on May 20, 2014.

SCF Executive Director Matt Hoskins made the following statement:

"Matt Bevin is a true conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country. He is not afraid to stand up to the establishment and he will do what it takes to stop Obamacare. We know that winning this primary won't be easy. Mitch McConnell has the support of the entire Washington establishment and he will do anything to hold on to power. But if people in Kentucky and all across the country rise up and demand something better, we're confident Matt Bevin can win this race."

SCF recently asked its members for their views on the Kentucky Senate race. Nearly 70,000 members completed the survey and 90% said SCF should endorse Matt Bevin over Mitch McConnell.

SFC also notes that it has endorsed Chris McDaniel (R-MS) for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi.

Now, there's no denying this will be an uphill battle with not only the establishment pulling for McConnell, but also a few tea party turncoats...yes, I'm talking about the disappointments of Marco & Rand! These two continue to betray principled conservatives like Cruz & Lee. Furthermore, in regards to McConnell, I'd have to agree wholeheartedly with Levin's accessment last night...
