>> You got to be kidding. McConnell caves before the battle even begins.. Notice all the idiots calling him tough and shrewd were Democrats. Conservatives will never prevail with McConnell in a leadership role. If we get 5 more conservative Republicans into the Senate......McConnell as a leader is history......and not soon enough. A Republican leader has pretty limited capability in the Senate right now. He really doesn't have any control over the numbers.

Left’s Anti-Limbaugh Tactics Sara Cummings, May 21, 2012 academia.org MSCO CEO Mark Stevens spoke last Tuesday at The Heritage Foundation’s Bloggers Briefing about the recent threats made to his company as a result of the supposed “war on women.” Stevens’ global marketing company, MSCO, came under fire after his decision to remain an advertiser for Rush Limbaugh, despite Limbaugh’s controversial comment about Georgetown student Sandra Fluke. MSCO employees—specifically Stevens and the female demographic—began receiving specific, violent threats in an effort to drive Stevens out of business immediately after his decision to continue supporting Limbaugh’s show. Stevens appeared on multiple talk shows counteracting the threats and promising he would do anything but back down. He later received thousands of emails from people who supported his decision to face his critics and stand up for his beliefs. He shared his story to expose the fact that America is being threatened by a new type of terrorism: Americans themselves. The fear instilled by the people who targeted his company was an act of terrorism, as part of the internal war on America. “We have to decide whether we are going to be the winners or the losers in this war. Right now, we are the losers,” said Stevens, stating that the winners are “people who don’t love America.” In order to become the winning side, Stevens believes conservatives and businesses first need to admit there is an ongoing internal war, and shift attitudes by fixing the current American culture. “The election may win us the presidency, but we still have to change the culture.” The ‘terrorists’ who have instilled this culture are much more threatening to the foundation of America because they focus not on political candidates, but on targeting successful American businesses like MSCO. Stevens explained the American way of life now is increasingly to demonize success and to take away success of those who have rightfully earned it. “They can destroy my company, I’ll build another one,” said Stevens. “But they can’t destroy America.”

SOROS' POLITICO Sells Jesse Jackson and Rev, Wright Jesse Jackson says hits on Jeremiah Wright pain him Politico ^ \| May 21, 2012 \| Tim Mak Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson defended Monday controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, saying that it was a “source of pain” to see him criticized in the media. “I know it’s a source of pain for me to see him used as an object of degradation and manipulated the way he’s been used the media as if he’s some sort of enemy of the state. It’s not fair and it’s not true,” said Jackson on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown.” “It pains me to see him used as an object of degradation.” Jackson said that Wright had developed an influential ministry, one that was being overlooked because of some of his controversial comments. “I remember when parents were kicking their youth out of houses, called AIDS a kind of leprosy, he had a ministry. I remember when gays were being in isolation and committing suicide, he had a gay ministry,” said Jackson. “His ministry has been a most profound one. That’s why people like a young Barack Obama and Michelle would go to that church, because it was such a well ministered church,” he added.
