More depressing still, they’re probably brighter than Kentucky non-voters.
Can somebody offer a contemporaneous quote from McConnell in which he actually does blast Democrats for demanding troop withdrawals? I remember lots of Republicans doing so, but not McConnell specifically.
You’ve got quite the sense of humor. 
Did Bush mention in his book how every unit in Iraq got their deployments extended by six plus months just after he got reelected, after he’d got the DOD to specifically deny that they were planning to extend tours during the 2004 election campaign? Probably not. The man and his presidency is a gigantic shitstain on the bedsheet of humanity.
The linked article at the start of the thread might be a place for you to start.
McConnell was probably the top guy blasting Democrats for wanting to “cut and run”
If he could squeak out claiming he never publicly criticized Democrats for wanting withdrawals he would, but unfortunately there is a lot of tape showing him do otherwise.
He will duck his head and avoid unfriendly media for a while, eventually it will blow over, his base won’t remember this issue by the time he’s up for election again. They probably wouldn’t hold it against him anyway, he still brings home the bacon and that’s what’s important, that and he’s not a Democrat.
Really? A president who could stir up a war for whatever reason because he could not bother to actually read the intelligence reports that were available to him or who could assert, (as governor), with a straight face that his state had no problems with the handling of capital cases when there was massive evidence that the accused, if poor, were given lazy, negligent, or ill-prepared counsel in a system of rampant cronyism actually needs a motive to put a shiv in a fellow traveller of his political party?
I’d just put it down to not paying much attention to what consequences his words might have with no motive, at all.
Not least because his term isn’t up until 2014.
Even so, I don’t think there’s any way McConnell would get primaried. He’s such a powerful figure in the Kentucky GOP that anyone who challenged him and lost would be finished in politics. (As Omar said on The Wire, you come at the king, you best not miss.) Nobody with any political clout is going to waste it on such a longshot, and anybody without political clout doesn’t have a chance.
It’s true that Mitch’s boy Trey Grayson lost the primary to Rand Paul, but the stars had to line up just so for that to happen–the national anti-establishment mood, Paul’s name recognition and national fundraising base, Grayson’s iffy GOP bona fides after being a delegate for Bill Clinton in '96 and rumors that he’d switch parties after his election as SOS a few years ago, etc. (Trey was so desperate to establish himself as a real Republican that he bragged in a commercial about being endorsed by Dick Cheney. Whose approval rating last I knew was just above that of smallpox.) And there’s a big difference between being Mitch’s preferred candidate and being Mitch.
I’m afraid McConnell will have his seat in the Senate for as long as he wants it. I’d love to be wrong about that.
