Is McConnell Getting A Bad Rap?
Riehl World View —
Right-side blogs seem to be jumping on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for some things he's said and plans to say: see here, here and here for more. But reading the most detailed account of his remarks I can find, I'm not sure I get the point. He appears to be saying the same thing I have been saying for years.
Republican messaging, especially as regards minorities, has been terrible for years. Changing that while sticking with common sense conservative principles is precisely what the GOP must do. For heaven's sake, out of ...

He seems to be a bit more concerned about Mitch McConnell, though, and so he has come up with a new plan of action for the Strike Force: "So here's what we need to do.

1/30: The Battle Intensifies
Blogometer —
January 30, 2009 1/30: The Battle Intensifies The House GOP caucus's unanimous rejection of Barack Obama 's economic stimulus bill has certainly energized the conservative blogosphere.

Leader Mitch McConnell into opposing the bill by bombarding his office with "golf balls, novelty items...or real items such as various ...
I believe Erick said send balls, not Neuticles
No Runny Eggs —
I am a bit late to the RedState/DontGo Movement Send A Pair Project. The first target is Senate “Republican leader” Mitch McConnell, specifically his Louisville office (601 W. Broadway Room 630, Louisville, KY 40202).

Jeff Emanuel points to a piece that ran on ...
