Cross posted at Hillbilly Report Senator Mitch McConnell will be seeking re-election in 2014, here in Kentucky. For me this isn't about Republicans or Democrats. It's about what I really believe is best for Kentucky and America and I don't believe Senator Mitch McConnell fits that bill. I don't say this lightly, because I believe this a serious matter that shouldn't be decided by listening to partisan robocalls, watching 30 second partisan political TV ads, taking the word of authority figures religious or secular, and/or reading partisan mail-outs. It's a matter that should be decided by an informed electorate. This is why I've listed 17 reasons why I can't support Senator Mitch McConnell in his 2014 re-election bid in 2014. The 17 Reasons: May 25, 2011 Senator Mitch McConnell voted to privatize Medicare. Senator Mitch McConnell is a big spender (Earmarks). Senator Mitch McConnell finds ways to to funnel millions to his corporate friends like Amgen. Senator Mitch McConnell's refusal to answer questions about his Vietnam era military service. Senator Mitch McConnell's wealth increased from $3.1 million in 2004 to $27.2 million in 2010. A $24.1 increase of wealth during the worst recession since the great depression. Senator Mitch McConnell uses email fear tactics to raise money. Senator Mitch McConnell's priorities. Senator Mitch McConnell's filibuster tactics. Senator Mitch McConnell's support of Senatorial candidates like Richard Mourdock. Senator Mitch McConnell's vote against veterans. Senator Mitch McConnell's ties with American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. Senator Mitch McConnell's ties with the US Chamber Of Commerce. Senator Mitch McConnell's cronyism. Senator Mitch McConnell's allegiance to Grover Norquist! Senator Mitch McConnell's environmental record! Mitch McConnell's insensitivity for poor folks! Okay I think that's enough for for now. Oh, I have one more. It's kind of personal. Mitch McConnell doesn't know the words to "My Old Kentucky Home!"YouTube Video
