How Senator Mitch McConnell Can Redeem Himself

Dear Senator McConnell:

When I saw your campaign ad that tries to attach a negative connotation on President Obama saying, "We don't have a strategy yet," I was confused. First, you are not running against President Obama. Oh, yeah, guess we can chalk that up to your obsessive POTUS envy, and accept it as admission that you know you can't beat Alison Grimes so you are trying, once again, to beat President Obama. (I remind you that you did not make President Obama a one-term President, and despite your obstructionism he has done quite well, so this doesn't look like a winning strategy for you.) 

Even if you were running against President Obama, it would seem rather pathetic of you to find fault with that statement. I suppose it's difficult for you to understand a man with character; someone who can, will, and does tell the truth. 

This made me think about the sad position you are in - nearing retirement with legacy that will disappoint your offspring and remember you as a dishonest, disgraceful obstructionist. Possibly, a traitor. I'm writing to offer my advice on how you might turn that lemon into lemonade. Possibly be remembered as a true patriot after all.

The American people (I honestly believe I am in a better, more informed position to speak for us than you are) love rebirth stories, especially the ones complete with admissions and apologies. When an addict finally comes clean with the world, they are elevated to super hero status, given book deals, and paraded out on talk shows.

The same could be true for you. All you need to do is admit that you are powerless over your addiction to GOP greed and dishonesty, and that you have given up your hypocrisy and asked a true higher power to save you from that sick addiction. Apologize to Kentucky, America, and the world for all the damage you have done and vow to never, ever, go anywhere near politics again.

I would respect you and bet others would, too.

Sandy

p.s. Are you sure Team Mitch is on your side? Sure doesn't look that way to me.

Finally, one thing that Mitch McConnell and I can agree on

Dear Senator McConnell:


I'm sure you know how difficult it is for me to admit that you are right about something. Fortunately, I'm strong so I'm toughing this out like a champ.

I just saw your ad that starts out talking about how Washington is broken. That's so true. We have you there, obstructing progress. It's a huge mess.

The ad goes on to say that President Obama (only they don't use the P word, considering your terribly obvious POTUS envy) needs Alison Grimes and Kentucky needs Mitch McConnell. I couldn't agree more. And I am doing everything I can to send Alison to Washington and keep you here in Kentucky.

In a state near shock,

Sandy

McConnell Updates 9/2/14

10 reasons Why Dems Will Hold Senate 
     Personally, I'd say Mitch McConnell should be the number one reason. That should scare all voters.

Finally, MSM is unable to ignore this story  

THE WALK - VoteVets Ad in Kentucky 


     "Of course a liberal Obama advocacy group that specializes in misleading ads has descended into Kentucky on behalf of Alison Lundergan Grimes," McConnell spokeswoman Alison Moore said in a statement." Any time someone tells the truth about Senator McConnell, he and his allies/cronies/brain dead supporters call it an attack.

 

      "The senator was intent on bringing up what he considers a questionable deal involving how much the Grimes campaign is paying for its bus. The secretary was equally eager to tell the Farm Bureau that McConnell was rarely in attendance at meetings and hearings of the Senate Agriculture Committee." People with any sense will note that he has to say "questionable" and "potential" because there is no story here - unlike recently recorded statements in which he makes promises to the Kochs, and the unquestionable, very real scandal with his campaign manager.

‘Hee Haw’ Meets ‘Gong Show’ at Fancy Farm

• Alison Grimes & Mitch McConnell • Fancy Farm • Kentucky • 8/2/14 •




Notice how feeble (mentally and physically) Senator McConnell looks. Even if he were a sane, decent person, I don't think he'd be a good candidate since it's doubtful he's up for six more years of work.
