On the call, according to a donor who was on it, McConnell personally named Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) as Tea Party conservatives he views as problematic for him. “The bulk of it was an attack on the Tea Party in general, Cruz in particular,” the source, a prominent donor, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.
Pointing to how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just invoked the “nuclear option,” breaking 225-year old Senate rules to slip through President Obama’s liberal nominees, an aide to a Tea Party lawmaker said that McConnell’s focus on trying to go after the Tea Party has jeopardized Senate Republicans’ chances at actually beating Democrats. “Under Sen. McConnell's watch, Republicans today just got rolled over by Democrats who pushed the button on the nuclear option, destroying years of well-established Senate order,” the aide said in an email to Breitbart News. “Perhaps if he focused less on destroying the Tea Party and more on defeating Democrats, he'd have more to show for his leadership.”

It's amazing how these RINO "leaders" will bend over backwards to work with Obama, yet will (like Obama--hmmmm) slam "conservatives" and call for a strong arm (beat 'em up eh?) to either get them to submit or quite. McConnell is sounding more and more like a bullying liberal by the day.
He IS the problem with the GOP.
And that's why the nuclear option, Obamacare, amnesty, etc. continue to get passed without nary a fight from the "bold" leaders of the GOP.
One wonders how Obama is repaying them for their loyalty to him.....
