You just know we’re in trouble when the Washington Post has found a Republican it wants to defend.

Ironic. The Kentucky kickback project overlaps into Ohio.
Let’s see, the Speaker of the house is from Ohio.
The Senate Minority leader is from Kentucky.

Just a coincidence I’m sure this 2 billion in pork ended up in Ohio
and Kentucky.

But as our David Fahrenthold reports, the funding was actually requested by President Obama and, according to congressional sources from both parties, wasn’t a McConnell project...the funding was actually requested by President Obama.

So Obama will get credit for the compromise?

Their reasoning for it not being a bribe is that someone else put it in there. So there you go folks, as long as you don’t bribe yourself, it’s not a bribe.

Why would Harry want to get rid of MConnell?
McConnell bends over any time Harry wants him too.

I don’t think Harry could resist kicking anyone who was down.
Even his own mother!

Besides I think he wants Susan Collins for Minority Leader.

I have mentioned before, McConnell is the Democrats favorite person to have as minority leader. Whenever they run into trouble with republicans, he finds a way to get them what they want.

You are fooling yourself if you think Harry Reid did not approve the Kentucky
Kickback included in this bill. Although it is being called The Kentucky Kickback, it includes Ohio, as well.
Funny, Bonehead is from Ohio, and McConnell is from Kentucky.
Coincidence, I’m sure.

You’re fooling youraelf if you think I was doing anything other than pointing out one must always consider what a vile person Harry Reid is.

Mitch should be replaced- that won’t change anything unless many RINOs are run out of the senate however.
If Mitch had 40 Cruz’s or Lee’s there he’d probably do a very good job.

He’s ‘not a wartime consiglieri’ though- which we need now.

Harry Reid is a vile person. But not so vile as to remove the Ohio/Kentucky
Kickback to benefit Boneheads home state and McConnell’s home state.
