McConnell accuses Dems of bugging his office

Of course this type of discourse is common in politics and no one should be surprised of the content posted in Mother Jones. Given Sen. McConnell's failures over the past six years it's no wonder he would go after anyone who wanted his job. Yet it's hard to imagine anyone being less competent than he.

Go play swallow, your boy king ran the most negative campaign in recent history and you don't care.

LOL...yeah.

Little boy bammy is the boy king, and his entire campaign was negative bullshit, as I said to cretins like you it was ok.

The "Boy King" was put into power by Scalia after he lost the general election.

And then Boy King George W. Bush, went on to becoming one of the worst "Kings" in this country's history.

Kings are generally the product of Dynastic rule.

So the "King" tag applied to George W. Bush..given that his father once ruled and that he did not win the popular election to get him in the office is far more appropriate.

And nothing was more negative then the Romney campaign. Who went after Obama's religion and mused that he wasn't born in this country.

That along with Romney displaying his distaste for most of America at a "private" fund raiser.

Here is the Mother Jones article which led McConnell to claim his office was bugged: Secret Tape: McConnell and Aides Weighed Using Judd's Mental Health and Religion as Political Ammo | Mother Jones

It reveals McConnell is willing to stoop as low as it takes to win. Very revealing information about his true nature and his willingness to assassinate the character of an opponent in true ad hominem fallacy fashion.

Mother Jones is denying his office was bugged. McConnell is asking the FBI to investigate, and he is going to look even worse if the recording came from one of his staffers. This could be McConnell's version of Romney's 47 percent video.

It also appears McConnell and his staff are ignorant of some religious references to Saint Francis and thought Ashley Judd's references to "Brother Donkey" were the best ammo they had against her, not realizing that is how St. Francis referred to himself. So I guess McConnell and his people are faux religious people.

Mother Jones:

Before posting this article, we contacted his Senate office and his campaign office—in particular, his campaign manager, Jesse Benton—and no one responded. As the story makes clear, we were recently provided the tape by a source who wished to remain anonymous. We were not involved in the making of the tape, but we published a story on the tape due to its obvious newsworthiness. It is our understanding that the tape was not the product of a Watergate-style bugging operation. We cannot comment beyond that.

Bullshit. This isn't "stooping" to anything.
Judd has had a history of saying some pretty kooky things. She also has admitted that she has thought about suicide. Voters have a right to know that their potential lawmakers may have some mental disorders.
Anything she has said or any of her past behavior is fair game.
The real story here is a U.S. Senator was secretly taped.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

All of you need to take a deep breath.
Any candidate who has had a history of making volatile statements would have been skewered regardless of the party.
Judd has no one but her mouth to blame for her candidacy going down before it even started.

The Judd campaign made racial attacks against McConnell's wife and now they want to cry about the McConnell campaign merely DISCUSSING weaknesses of the opponent? It's not like they used the ideas and applied them, they probably discarded them.

"The Judd Campaign"????

 

[whitehall]

A "justice dept" investigation? Don't count on it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

So we conclude (1) the office was bugged or (2) the staff secretly released copies of the meeting to Mother Jones to smear it.

 

[GeoLaureate8]

I heard the tapes, nothing really shocking at all. They talked about her anti-Christianity stance, anti-traditional family stance, her depression, etc. His aids laughed at the "brother donkey sister bird" remarks, so what it is a funny sounding term and its not common knowledge even among Christians that St. Francis had that nickname.

Ahm jus po little ole Roo hailing from the middle part of the greatest nation to ever have existed on planet earth.

But shallow, hate filled lefties like you are easily read kid...sorry.

Nope, not at all.

I know who and what Bammy is...always have.

I also know what you are, it's all good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Anybody know who this is?

I'm guessing it's TPSam.

 

[Political Junky]

G. Gordon Liddy went to prison for doing that. Should the Democrats be held to the same standard if the perpetrator is caught?

An executive from mother jones is on martin bashir right now as said the info they obtained was NOT from a bugging.

All signs are pointing towards one of McConnell's own staff blew the whistle on his disgusting plans.

McConnell owes "the left" a huge apology.

Yep, some con who wants Mitch's seat.

 

[JimH52]

The offices were searched and they found nothing. Sounds like Mitch has a rat in the nest.....

What's next? Is he going to accuse a candidate of being a felon? What kind of lowlife sleaze would stoop so low?

Thread title: McConnell accuses Dems of bugging his office

BTW, McConnell didn't accuse Dems of bugging his office. He said someone bugged his office.

Democrats immediately jumped up and said, "He means us!"

I guess they have reason.

It wasn't the first time Democrats stooped that low:

James O'Keefe ARRESTED In Mary Landrieu Phone Scheme, 3 Others Also Charged

Oh wait......nevermind.

 

[rdean]

If no one in the room knew they were being taped, it's a crime.

If one person in the room approved, it's not a crime.

Maybe it's one of those Republicans Mitch's policies fucked over.

Considering what Republicans have been doing to this country and to the average American for the last 15 years, you could see a wave of this type of behaviour. Saying one thing at home and another in Washington.

In KY, McConnell Brags About Stimulus Projects, Requests More Money; In DC, McConnell Says Stimulus Should End

He'll just say Obama did it.

 

[Katzndogz]

This was what happened to Nixon. He did nothing but try to cover up the break in of democrat campaign offices after it occurred. Democrats are such excrement it defies understanding. Ashley Judd already put her finger in the air and realized she had no chance and quit.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nixon lied just like Clinton lied. Lying to the people is wrong. Katzndogz, you represent very, very few Americans in your thinking, which is a blessed thing.

 

[Antares]

He's right, she would have been squashed like a bug.

Nixon lied just like Clinton lied. Lying to the people is wrong. Katzndogz, you represent very, very few Americans in your thinking, which is a blessed thing.
