McConnell accuses Dems of bugging his office

[Lakhota]

Sen. Mitch McConnell's first response to Mother Jones' report on a closed-door campaign meeting about prospective challenger Ashley Judd: Call the FBI. His second response: Ask for money.

On Tuesday morning, McConnell's campaign twitter account blasted out a link to a new splash page ("teammitch.com/wiretap") asking supporters to "stand with Senator McConnell" by signing up for his mailing list—and donating to his campaign. The campaign specifically charges the "liberal media," which in this case is apparently Mother Jones, with "illegal and underhanded tactics":

Apparently ole Mitch was scared to death of Ashley Judd. I don't think this will end well for him.

Mitch McConnell: Senate GOP Has Treated Obama's Judicial Nominees 'Very Fairly' (UPDATE)

 

[S.J.]

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.

And we're supposed to take the word of a lying liberal, who's trying to cover his ass?

And we're supposed to take the word of a hypocritical gasbag who's got no proof?

The proof was published on Mother Jones, you idiot. Damn, you liberals are stupid.

thanks for the link

wiretapping is a serious problem

 

[S.J.]

You got it, so obviously not.

Making you look like the adolescent you are is too easy.

See what I mean?

Tape sank Romney. Now it's McConnell's turn.

So I can assume you have no problem with us bugging every meeting Obama has without his knowledge then.

I don't know why he would have, if a Hollywood liberal nut could win in a solid red state such as Kentucky, then hell has indeed froze over.

Sweet Jenny, you get what you earn when you play the clown.

Tis what tis, won't change.

The campaign meetings? Sure.

We would all be better off.

Nobody has brought Obama up in this discussion.

The chinless one has made such a stink over this, that his backroom mud slinging and dirty underhanded tactics have come out. He should have stayed quiet and contacted the FBI rather than grandstanding...which is he MO...

Listen to the libs act like their party doesn't look for ways to sink their opponent's candidacies.

McConnell's raising money off this, but money was never his problem. We'll see. His refusal to make any compromise is offsetting. However, if Obamacare really does raise rates dramatically, it may prove to be a brilliant tactic.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Hmmm. I wonder if this inside job is set up by a mole to make McConnell look anti-female and very, very Machiavellian to the electorate. If the Dems can separate some of the female voters, that would hurt.

Or perhaps its another GOP primary contender (unknown at this point) who is digging under M's walls.

Mother Jones published proof that it bugged McConnell's office?

WHY the hell would they do that? To implicate themselves?

How can you possibly be so stupid?

From the article:

McConnell is not disputing the authenticity of the tape. Yesterday, his campaign offices were swept by a private security detail, which did not find a bug.

So where's the proof? Because gasbag McConnell said so? That's not proof dingbat. That's hot air.

 

[bendog]

One thing we know: Mother Jones didn't do any bugging. Either some progressive group did a black bag job or someone with legal access secretly taped, which may have been illegal as well. If one or more of his staffers did this ... pass the popcorn

 

[Political Junky]

Interesting that Mitch called in the FBI right away. Aren't republicans against government interference. Isn't Mitch for taking care of things himself?
