Tea party activists looking to oust Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a GOP primary may get some help from an unlikely source: Democrats.

Big Democratic donors, local liberal activists and a left-leaning super PAC in Kentucky are telling tea partiers that they are poised to throw financial and organizational support behind a right-wing candidate should one try to defeat the powerful GOP leader in a 2014 primary fight.

I'll pre-post OT's response:

the liberals spent a million plus in the primaries to get Todd akin nominated...

There’s a reason why Democrats spent over $1.5 million trying to help Akin win his three-way primary. He was the most conservative candidate in the field — and the most unpredictable one.

if you can't win.. play dirty... seems to be the liberal motto...

Wow a couple years ago they were nothing but a bunch of teabagging astroturfers out to make a little noise and would disappear as fast as they appeared and now the Dems are financing their play to remove a thorn in the Dems side. How times change, I guess Oldtimer and Queen Pelosi were wrong about the Tea Party and their mission. :wink:

BTW what has become of the OWSers that Queen Pelosi and King Obama supported as being the true grassroot organization that would make the true changes in DC?

Are they recieving financing from the Dems, to put a candidate in place to unseat anyone that might not support them Or is George Soros still their only sugar daddy? :?

Of course, OT whines constantly about the DC power brokers and their cultists but sits silently while the tea baggers try to overthrow the pub senate minority leader.

If I was a cynic, which I'm not........... :roll:

Bobby Jindal: GOP needs to 'stop being the stupid party'

By Justin Sink - 01/25/13 07:20 AM ET


As Republicans gather in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday, many have focused on how best to reboot the party in the face of a 2012 election cycle that saw Democrats retain the White House and gain seats in both chambers of Congress.

For Jindal, a popular rising star in the party who is thought to be an early contender for the 2016 presidential nomination, that recalibration involves Republicans learning to "stop insulting the intelligence of voters.”

In the address, Jindal outlined at least seven steps that he believes Republicans need to take in order to remain competitive. In a scathing takedown, he accuses the party of "looking backwards" and having an obsession with "identity politics."

"We must reject the notion that demography is destiny, the pathetic and simplistic notion that skin pigmentation dictates voter behavior," Jindal said.

Jindal also said that the GOP must work to reframe its messaging on restricting the size of government.

"We must not become the party of austerity. We must become the party of growth,"
Jindal said.

He went on to take some not-so-subtle swipes at former Republican nominee Mitt Romney, insisting Republicans "must compete for every single vote — the 47 percent and the 53 percent." He also told RNC Chairman Reince Priebus that he hoped he was not relying on Romney's ORCA voter information system during his reelection bid at the meeting Friday.

But among Jindal's most provocative suggestions was the demand that the GOP needed to "stop insulting the intelligence of voters" — and display more intelligence itself. Jindal's comments seemed targeted squarely at conservative candidates in Senate races whose comments on rape and abortion appeared to torpedo their electoral chances.

"We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments," Jindal said.

The Louisiana governor also warned that Republicans were too associated with "big business, big banks, big Wall Street bailouts, big corporate loopholes."

"We must not be the party that simply protects the well-off so they can keep their toys," Jindal said. "We have to be the party that shows all Americans how they can thrive."

Jindal, who was elected last year to chair the Republican Governors Association, has been among the party's most vocal critics in the aftermath of last year's election, and is likely looking to position himself as a forward-thinking voice as speculation begins to ramp up about 2016.

But his keynote address also served to underscore the theme of the entire Republican retreat, which has been singularly focused on rebooting the GOP brand.

According to excerpts of a speech to be given Friday, Priebus will call on the party to compete in every state across the country and invest in a new technological push. The RNC chairman has also appointed a new committee to solicit grassroots feedback on a path forward for the party.

Republicans face a steep road to recovery. In a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released last week, 49 percent of respondents said they had an unfavorable view of the party — the highest figure since 2008.

Moreover, President Obama's campaign infrastructure was thought to be technologically and structurally superior on Election Day. Last weekend, Democrats announced plans to keep that organization in place with the creation of a legacy nonprofit group to be led by the president's former campaign manager, Jim Messina.

But Priebus is optimistic that the GOP will bounce back.

"The good news is our principles are sound. We stand for opportunity and for liberty. Freedom is always a new idea — an ever-fresh, revolutionary idea," he plans to say.

As Jindal says- the party of stupid...
Just more of the R's playing into the hands of the D's by splitting and going two or three different directions- and shooting themselves in the foot...And as Jindal said- in doing so the Tea Boys gave the Dems 2 or 3 more Senate seats...
I could care less about McConnell... As far as I'm concerned he's just another politician that's been in D.C. too long...

obama's approval rating at present is about 52.2, so only about 1% higher than the "stupid party".

He's just a tick better than the "stupidest president evah". :lol: :lol:
