Question from Don - July 8, 2014
July 8, 2014
GRIMES: I'm Alison Lundergan Grimes and this is Don Disney from Cloverlick, Kentucky, and he has a question for Senator McConnell. DISNEY: Senator, I am a retired coal miner. I want to know how you could have voted to raise my Medicare costs by $6,000. How are my wife and I supposed to afford that? GRIMES: I don't think he's gonna answer that. I approve this message, because I’ll work to strengthen Medicare, not bankrupt seniors like Don.

A Moment - May 21, 2014
May 21, 2014
GRIMES: Hi, I'm Alison Lundergan Grimes, and I want to take a moment to talk with you about why I'm running for Senate. This is a frustrating time our country. The economy is still struggling, people are working harder for less, and here in Kentucky we feel it more than most. And it seems no matter how many elections we have, nothing gets better in Washington—it only gets worse. A lot of that is because the people at the top in both political parties. If we keep sending them back, […]

3 Words - Nov. 8, 2012
November 8, 2012
MCCULLOM: Every family deserves affordable, quality health care. And that's why I helped make it illegal for insurance companies to deny anyone coverage because of pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies must cover cancer screening, maternity care and contraception. Republicans would end these protections. Their health care plan is three words: don't get sick. I’m Betty McCollum and I approve this message because it's my family's fight, too.

July 30, 2014
GRIMES: I’m Alison Lundergan Grimes and this is Ilene Woods from Lynch, Kentucky. Here's her question for Senator McConnell. WOODS: Senator, why did you vote two times against the Violence Against Women Act, and against enforcing equal pay for women? GRIMES: I can never get him to answer this one, either. I approve this message because Senator, you must be forgetting that over half the voters in Kentucky are women like Ilene.

STANLEY: Mr. McConnell, in the last two years we've lost almost half of our coal jobs in eastern Kentucky. Why did you say is not your job to bring jobs to Kentucky? GRIMES: I couldn't believe he said that, either. I approve this message because Senator, that'll be my number one job.

July 16, 2014
MAN: Mitch McConnell, these guys have been around too long, and they're just never going to change. MCCONNELL: We've come a long way in pay equity. I could be wrong, but I think most of the barriers have been lowered. I don't grant the assumption that we need to sort of give preferential treatment to the majority.

July 10, 2014
DAVID GREGORY: I'm just trying to understand where you are. You don't believe that the Ryan plan is the basis of where you're going to get agreement. MITCH MCCONNELL: I voted for the Ryan plan. HOWARD FINEMAN: The mathematics of the Ryan plan would result in anything other than the average retired person paying at least five or six thousand dollars more a year in the end. ED SCHULTZ: In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell offered his wish list: An increase in the […]
