McConnell can't run on guns because he would have to say mental health issues are a concern and need to be litigated while building a case of mental illness against his opponent.
He can't run on background checks because he oppose even bringing any gun legislation to the floor.
He can't run on environmental responsibility issues because he demands damaging oil pipelines and hydraulic fracturing for Americans. He disregards The Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act while Ms. Judd has a record of saving lives and protecting lands for future generations.
McConnell cannot run on women's issues because these attacks on a woman opponent based in mental health issues is TYPICAL of attacks on women on so many venues. That mess is still out there.
He can't run on children's rights because he favors cuts in education, except, perhaps the NRA position on guards for schools. There is little Mr. McConnell can run on, so he seeks to control election results through propaganda of the electorate. This is a prime example of the oppressive GOP rhetoric he retreats to as the "GOP Default Setting."
The GOP have a long history of practicing hypocrites, "Father Knows Best," "Do as I say and not as I do" and talking down to the electorate while passing judgement on them. There is nothing worse than a slimy group of White Trash unwilling to vote for anyone other than a saint willing to put up with them.

No less a Democratic supporter than the critical-satirical Bill Maher found his story endearing because Sanford fell in love. This is, of course, the silver lining in Sanford’s saga.
What the Sanford affair really tells us is how the Republicans’ adherence to moribund standards of masculine performance won’t go away. Because they don’t believe in gender equality – which, as you’ll soon see, relates directly to their anxiety over gay marriage.
But first, we need to understand the taxonomy of flawed masculine ambition. The temptations are these: Money. A proneness to violence. Lying. Sex....
