Discussion: McConnell's Response To Guns Ad: Grimes = Obama

Discussion for article #227705

So she criticized his inability to handle firearms properly, and he responded by pointing out that both Grimes and Obama are more familiar with guns than he is.

Do I have that right?

Agree with OtterQueen: this is going to backfire on the Turtle.

I think it’s pretty incredible that Mitch McConnell’s wife was GWB’s Labor Secretary for his entire administration but that isn’t an effective attack ad because the people hurt by the Chao Labor Dept implicitly trust the Republican brand - as if mine safety isn’t a concern in KY.

Gosh, who didn’t’ see that one coming. Gotta admit, this is a pretty effective campaign ol Twitch is running. Fucker.

Perhaps now Ms. Lundergan Grimes will stop playing around and hit him hard on healthcare. She has not much left to lose at this point. Even Blue Dog Dems are Dems at some level, right?

At least Grimes has his attention and Mitch proved true to his weakness.

Guilt by association? Perhaps McConnell can explain why Hitler is so interested in his campaign

It’s almost like the cartoonist used Mitch for a model, isn’t it?

What I’m taking away from this is weak liberals only shoot clay disks. Real conservatives kill animals, people in foreign nations, people in U.S. who look scary, and point their guns at federal agents who are trying to collect taxes from a guy grazing his cattle on the public’s land.

Again, the proper contrast should be with a man or woman who hunts to put meat on the table. McConnell’s policies stand firmly on the side of creating more hunters of necessity.

Mr. Obama is left handed and wears his watch on his right wrist.

Not in that picture he doesn’t.

Yeah. Not only that, but it doesn’t appear that Grimes was skeet shooting. Unless I missed something, she’s trapshooting. Which, according to avid trap shooters, is what skeet shooters eventually graduate to.

I knew this was going to happen. The first rule of politics is that you don’t say “I’m not __________.” You say what you are. That’s why “I’m not a witch” was so comical. If you come out and repeat the opposition’s talking points, even to dispute them, you’re still giving them more mileage.

Bad campaign manager.

Kind of sad that in Kentucky you can win an election just by saying “My opponent = Obama.”

People there would rather vote for someone who doesn’t give a shit about them, than vote for someone who belongs to the same party as an important African American.

Sad.

Clearly Team Turtle have settled on a strategy of just trying to put “Grimes” and “Obama” in the same sentence no matter how nonsensical it might be.

And it will probably work.

Grimes ate a sandwich. Obama ate sandwich one time. Sandwiches are evil.
