Mitch McConnell's Conservative Challenger Gets a Boost... From Dems

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a last-ditch effort to unseat Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a deep-pocketed Democratic group has begun airing ads backing the Libertarian candidate in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate contest.

A new super PAC called True Kentucky Patriots started buying television and digital ads last week in support of Libertarian Brad Barron, calling him “Kentucky’s true conservative for U.S. Senate,” in the words of one thirty-second spot. “Barron is one hundred percent pro-Second Amendment, one hundred percent pro-life, and one hundred percent pro-term limits. Sorry Mitch, 36 years is too long.”

The group is clearly designed to peel off conservative votes from McConnell, who faces a challenge from Democrat Amy McGrath. Federal Election Commission records show that True Kentucky Patriots is affiliated with one of the Senate race’s largest independent spenders, a pro-McGrath group called the Ditch Fund.

True Kentucky Patriots also shares a treasurer with the Ditch Fund, and both groups have paid a Democratic firm called Beacon Media to produce and place their respective digital ads.

1. Great-- just hope enough Kentucky wingnuts are dumb enough (or drunk enough) to fall for it.

2. If We Work At It, Sir

The Libertarians could be turned into 'the right-wing auxiliary of the Democratic Party', serving us in the same way Greens aid Republicans.

Libertarians are OUR Green Party
