Ditch Mitch KY

McConnell Two-Faced Beyond Belief

Shawn Dixon May 29th, 2007

It’s no secret that Senator Mitch McConnell backed failed gubernatorial candidate Anne Northup over former ally Ernie Fletcher in last week’s election. Getting Anne Northup into the race was a huge swipe at Fletcher and her defeat really marked the beginning of the end of the reign of Mitch McConnell over Kentucky Republicans. (Click here for proof)

I think it’s fine that McConnell doesn’t have faith in Fletcher (most Kentuckians don’t either) and tried to have him thrown from office by his own party; however, if the Senator is going to make that kind of move, one would think he would at least have enough conviction to stick by his actions. One would be wrong.

McConnell had this to say about Fletcher at the Republican Unity Rally this weekend:

“I’ve never met a finer man than our governor, Ernie Fletcher,” said McConnell. “I’m proud of Ernie Fletcher. I’m proud of Glenna Fletcher. And I’m proud of the image they present for our state.”

You’ve never met a finer man that indicted Governor Ernie Fletcher? If that’s true, it’s very clear that you are running in the wrong circles Senator McConnell.
