Here's The Way To Get Rid Of Mitch

[johnlennon_shallrise]

[loudsue]

1. From your lips to god's ears.

Is there any chance she would run???

[Angry Dragon]

2. DAMN!! .... Mitch really is THE TORTOISE MAN

He has been in congress long enough that we can put the ills of this country upon his back

[sheshe2]

13. TORTOISE Man!

14. OMG !!!!

Thank you !

[sheshe2]

15. You are Welcome

and a Welcome to DU!

[Angry Dragon]

16. LOL

[nc4bo]

37. LOL!! Mcconnell's lower face looks like it does more frowning than smiling...

I wonder if he's actually as miserable as his face expressions seem to imply.

[Ken Burch]

42. Turtle Guy...The Later Years...

[sheshe2]

43. LOL n/t

[davidpdx]

3. Fundraising wouldn't be a problem

I wonder if old Mitch would suddenly decide to retire due to either a) health reasons or b) spending more time with the family.

[BlueStreak]

4. I have been impressed with Ashley, but just wondering

Could a person get elected to the Senate without any government experience?

Obama had very limited government experience and that worked out for him. And Ashley has been heavily involved in humanitarian work, so you might compare her to Elizabeth Warren in some respects.

I think the answer to my question is "yes" but it is surely the main line of attack that McConnell would use.

Anybody from KY here that could say how popular Ashley is in KY?

5. Happens all the time

Edwards did it in NC, Johnson in WI, Wellstone in MN, Metzenbaum in OH, Glenn in OH, Nelson in FL to name a few.

[jonthebru]

32. Al Franken

[Tx4obama]

9. Obama was an Illinois State Senator for EIGHT YEARS before becoming a U.S. Senator.

Regarding Judd see comment #8.

[rhett o rick]

10. Howz about Sen Al Franken. nm

[Wounded Bear]

24. Ahem.....Hillary Clinton.....nt

[ReRe]

26. How popular is Ashley in KY?

Very popular my dear. She was born in Ashland, KY. She graduated from the University of Kentucky. She is a regular attendant at NCAA Champion University of Kentucky Wildcat games, blue and white pom-pom in hand. She has a Masters from Harvard. She is up on issues, like anti mountain-top-removal (unafraid to go up against "Big Coal&quot . She also did some world advocacy work against childhood sex rings (Did I say that right?) Everyone knows who Ashley is in KY, all the way back to the farthest hollow. All we have to do is convince her to run. God knows KY needs a REAL advocate in the Senate, instead of thumb-with-a-face-on-it McConnell. When was the last time you ever heard Mitch McConnell mention the people of KY? He doesn't represent KY, he represents himself. Mitch doesn't look healthy to me. I hope and pray that he steps forward very soon and RESIGNS.

Yeah, I think Ashley would be a great Senator for Kentucky.

[Tigress DEM]

35. Ronald Reagan was an actor before he became Govenor of California. nt

Most DEMs have more experience, but Ashley Judd comes from a common sense family. Could do well.

[Drahthaardogs]

36. Al Franken did.

I am sure there are other instances.

[hrmjustin]

6. There are plenty of dems that could run against him in KY. He is also likely to get a primary.

[11 Bravo]

7. Add "possession of a chin" to the other requirements for service in the U.S. Senate.

[Tx4obama]

8. Rumor has it already that Ashley Judd ‘might’ throw her hat into the ring against Mitch McConnell

Ms. Judd was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky on May 9, 2009. She subsequently earned a Mid-Career Master in Public Administration degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 2010.

Take a look at the Humanitarian Work and Political Activities sections on the link below:

30. Well, then Dr. Judd, I'll be happy to donate some money to her campaign to remove the Turtle

if it would give her a real fighting chance to defeat the Turtle and put him out to the beach for his retirement - an oil slick-filled beach.

[Cha]

11. What a contrast! That would be so Sweet! Here's Mitch's bullshit statement to our President after

PBO was re-elected..

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said: "The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the President’s first term, they have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington. Now it’s time for the President to propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a closely-divided Senate, step up to the plate on the challenges of the moment, and deliver in a way that he did not in his first four years in office."

Thank you, johnlennon_shallrise

[Welibs]

12. How did Mitch McConnell go from a net worth of $1.7m-$4.4m in 2004 to $9.8m-$44.5m in 2010?

War is big business for Republicans and so is looting the people's Fed! The only account that has any money in it is SS/Med, 2.7 trillion that the people have paid into all of their live! That money is the people's money not Republican money and it adds nothing to the deficit!

I HATE MITCH MCCONNELL! IS THAT BAD????

[Voice for Peace]

17. probably would just take that one pic of them to get her elected... beauty and the

the um, .. ? the

[WillyT]

18. I'm In... K & R !!!

[calimary]

19. Welcome to DU, johnlennon_shallrise! Good Grief, he really does look like a turtle.

Man! I used to have turtles as pets when I was a kid. I've seen that face before. Heavens - ASHLEY JUDD, PLEASE rescue us all!!!!

Glad you're here! Love your screen name and your sig line!

[Helen Reddy]

38. Tortoises and turtles are MUCH cuter

and smarter than Mitch.

[Firebrand Gary]

20. This would shake the Republican pillars to their core....

If Ashley throws her Kentucky derby hat in the ring, Mitch is instantly toast! The people of Kentucky despise him...This would easily surpass the momentum of the Warren/Brown race.

[Firebrand Gary]

21. Oh and K&R...

[ErikJ]

22. Sadness and anger are frozen onto his face.

[siligut]

29. AKA alcoholism

Seems to be endemic in the GOP.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

23. Any anti-coal Dem will be defeated in Kentucky...

I'll vote for the Dem candidate regardless, but without a Democrat that dry humps a piece of coal on live television, Mitch will be guaranteed 6 more years.

[adieu]

25. Start pushing the solar panel biz

That is starting in West Virginia. The KY folks will realize they'll earn more money and have less health problems. FORWARD!

[MADem]

33. She sounds pro-worker, though....

She's eighth generation Kentuckian--she's got to have a few relatives who have worked in the biz. She objects to the razing of mountains to extract the crap, certainly, but she certainly sounds "pro exploited coal miner" to me, here:

[LukeFL]

34. She should then play The same

"rules" out of romney"s play book. Believe in one thing, and say another.


Heck, republicans have been winning elections fir years playing the same games. I think it's time we play their games.

[joseph abbott]

27. That or

Throw his ass in GITMO for sedition!
Time to clean House (pun intended)

[Change has come]

28. K & R

Love your user name.

[MADem]

31. She's not uncredentialed--she's got more on her resume than Ahhnuld did when he ran for governor.

39. His skin always looks like it has a layer of slime on it

He's uglier on the inside and it seeps out through his pores.

[Kennah]

40. In the meanwhile, if someone could pick up a head of lettuce, and ... n/t

[Ken Burch]

41. I like it.

Hopefully, we can get her mom and her sister to come around and support her. Never did understand why Naomi Judd, a single mother, would back a party that persecutes single mothers.
