Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a likely preview of the Republican line of attack in the general election, said Democratic leaders and Mr. Obama "get up every morning with three things on their minds: more taxes, more regulation and more litigation."

Mitch is just keeping it real, he is right of course, but people may not believe it until they see it.

France has got a good leader now. I think North Korea is more apt.

I call BS.

Bitter Conservatives and their self rightous clinging to my way or the hiway thinking will get Obama elected.

McConnell is a very effective attack dog. I love it when he calmly takes off on a rant.

As my tagline suggests look at Buffalo to learn what liberalism does to what was once a major city.

Excellent. Now he needs to take the next step and tell us how Republicans will do better, and it can’t be more of the same. I also wish he would have included spending, but, unfortunately, he’s come out in favor of the farm subsidy bill, making him even more of a spendthrift than Bush.

Still, McConnell has an opportunity here to articulate the conservative vision that McCain is staying away from. My advice to him would be to get out there and set an agenda for Senate Republicans to run on, and force McCain to either embrace it or run against it if he dares. McCain’s our nominee, but no one said he has to be the one to define what the Republican Party is about.
