With this, along with a desperately bogus Kentucky primary poll out from none other than a pro-McConnell group, Levin launched into the Senate minority leader's establishment antics...NYT: This election season, Republicans led by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are taking a much harder line as they sense the majority within reach. Top congressional Republicans and their allies are challenging the advocacy groups head on in an aggressive effort to undermine their credibility. The goal is to deny them any Senate primary victories, cut into their fund-raising and diminish them as a future force in Republican politics.
“I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” Mr. McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, said in an interview, referring to the network of activist organizations working against him and two Republican incumbents in Kansas and Mississippi while engaging in a handful of other contests. “I don’t think they are going to have a single nominee anywhere in the country.”
Elevating the nasty intramural brawl to a new level, Mr. McConnell on Friday began airing a radio ad in Kentucky that attacked both Matt Bevin, the businessman challenging him in the Republican primary, and the Senate Conservatives Fund, one of the groups trying to oust Mr. McConnell and a political action committee that has been a particular thorn in his side.
Discussing the exorbitant debt and unfunded liabilities with Neil Cavuto today, Mark furthered the conservative campaign against the defeatist Republican leadership of Boehner and McConnell...On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Sen. Mitch McConnell attacks the Tea Party in an interview with the NY Times right after CPAC. It's more important that he hold his office and stay in power than America making progress in stopping President Obama. Things will not improve with him as a leader in Washington.
"Who lost the Senate and the House in 2006? I think the Republican Party, George Bush and Karl Rove lost the Senate and the House in 2006. Who gave them the House in 2010? I think the Tea Party. And they're holding on, the establishment, with their fingertips onto the Senate, trashing conservatives, sleeping in bed with the U.S. Chamber of Crony Capitalism, and that's why they can't win the Senate...Right on!
I've seen leaders, I've worked for leaders. And leaders change events, leaders affect the future, and they have arguments. They don't stand there talking with marbles in their mouth, trashing their own party and so forth.
We need a New Republican Party, we need new leaders. I've seen it, I've seen it with Reagan, I've seen it with Gingrich (say what you will). There are men, there are women out there, who are waiting in the wings, who can lead this party and make a case.
But I want to say that, because it happens a lot on your network, 'we need the win, we need the numbers.' You don't just win and get numbers by running for office. You have to make your case day in and day out, and explain to the American people how this affects them directly. Screw the Chamber of Commerce! This needs to be a conservative, bottom-up, grassroots party."
