1. ITS sure amazing how RUDE the Republicans are here...

They are trying to drown her out.

[drynberg]

11. STUNNINGLY RUDE BEHAVIOR!

OMG, these Rethugs are horrible...should be able to call "time" and throw the hecklers out, so those there to hear the speaker can do so.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. Check out those asshole plants in red shirts front and center....

.....chanting, "We want Mitch!" as loud as they can to drown out anyone else.

[Botany]

4. and notice Mitch sitting there and not asking them to be quite ....

..... the man is a real class act.

[bahrbearian]

5. He was having the time of his life, Repugs think that is acceptable (if not, Desirable) behavior.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Love the sign exposing that Mitch uses busloads of paid hecklers....

That whole "busloads" line hits some people hard.

The Republicans lie in every election claiming Democrats have send in "busloads" of people to commit "voter fraud" so it's cool to use their own hot button words against them.

3. Should have said....

"You want Mitch? Well take him cuz the voters of Kentucky and the people of this great country want nothing to do with him anymore so... Be my guest!"

[Iwillnevergiveup]

6. Cowardly hecklers

Who the heck was in charge? Those morans should have been escorted out. Have to give Allison kudos for maintaining her composure and pressing on.

7. Yurtle has got to be a tad nervous n/t

[KansDem]

8. She handled herself quite well...

She spoke as if the bullies weren't there and she got her points across.

She'll be a formidable senator in DC...

[adieu]

10. A lot of poise and spunk

she didn't give in nor acknowledge the "We Want Mitch" yelling at the start. Just calmly pressed her point forward. I'd taken out an AK-47 and wiped the floor with them, but that's why I'm not running for office.

12. Very strong performance in a hostile environment

13. OMG OMG! Love that woman!

What a class act! She is bright and articulate. She never waived her right to speak over the disgusting hecklers. LOL, she put them on ignore!

Damn, that was great. I will support her with the few dollars I have to spare, she deserves the title Senator!

Thank you for posting Tx!

PS...Hope Stinky enjoyed her birthday ribs today~

[Tx4obama]

14. I sure hope Grimes wins. She will make a great U.S Senator (we need 50 more like her), also...

... also I hope that Wendy Davis will decide to run for Texas Governor and wins - I really really really hope so.

p.s. Stinky had a great 11th b-day today - he loved his ribs and his new squeaky toys. He had a busy day and has gone to bed
