Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is the Republican leader of the Senate. McConnell is up for re-election in 2014. The left wing magazine Mother Jones just released a tape of a meeting of McConnell and a few of his campaign advisors that was held in McConnell's office. At the meeting, the group discussed how to focus their campaign should Ashley Judd decide to run as the Democrat. (Judd recently announced that she had decided not to run.)
The amazing thing about this tape is that it was not made by anyone at the meeting. That means that the recording was obtained by an illegal bugging of the Senator's office. For those of you who are too young to remember Watergate, the parallels are striking. In Watergate, it was operatives of the Nixon campaign who were bugging the offices of the Democrats. Here it is the Democrats who are bugging the offices of a Republican. Both acts were clearly illegal. So, where is the outrage? Where are the media folks condemning this outrage by the left? Why do we hear nothing at all from the usual suspects who protest like crazy when the victim is someone other than a Republican candidate?
The truth is that it is even worse than normal. Many in the media are spinning this as something that McConnell and his advisors did wrong. The reliably leftist Yahoo News describes the tape as disclosing "plotting" by McConnell and his aides against Judd. Are they kidding? Politicians planning their next campaign is something that every pol in Washington does. It is not plotting; not is it news. What is news, however, is the total violation of the law by the Democrats who bugged McConnell's office. The culprits ought to be found and prosecuted.

As long as the Liberals run the media, this Country will have their propaganda perpetrated on our citizenry.
Sure wish the Conservatives of our country had more control of the media.
We could definitely win back control of Washington
