"Republican state Rep. Mike Harmon, who ran as a tea party candidate for lieutenant governor in 2011, said Kentucky needs McConnell's clout in Washington"
A few years ago I ran an ad in a newspaper that said "Mike spent many a fun filled summer day at his grandparents farm." However, later this same quote was used in a direct mail piece with 1 word was changed. many became most. When my Mom saw she jokingly asked, "Did we just drop you off at the beginning of summer and pick you up at the end?"
That is kind of what happen in this article. I am quoted as saying most Tea Party people support McConnell. That is not exactly what I said if memory serves me. As I recall the passing comment, I was asked if I was going to support Matt Bevin since I had received the Tea Party endorsement as Lt. Governor in 2011. I indicated I had endorsed McConnell long ago and even though I know we may not agree on everything I know he is best positioned to help both Kentucky and the United States. I also went on to say that I appreciate all the Tea Party has done for me, for this state and this nation. In conclusion, I indicated I would support the Republican nominee regardless.
Although not part of our conversation, I would also congratulate Tea Party members (of which I consider myself a part) because their dedication has aided in moving McConnell much closer to the core philosophies of the Tea Party, a change I believe to be sincere. I may be wrong, but that is how I view it.
McConnell is not perfect, but neither am I. I'm a SSBG. "Sinner Saved By Grace" However, much like UK struggled last year with talent, but no experience, Republican Matt Bevin if he pulled the upset of the year in the primary, would be a long shot in the General and it would take only one blip like losing Noel to effectively end his season. McConnell has the experience to make adjustments to win and in this time in our history, maintaining our current Republican Senators and hopefully picking up several more has never been more important to the future health of this nation.
