To incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), it is more important for Republicans to be the party of yes than go all-out to defund President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.

According to the New York Times, McConnell “acknowledges that changing the mind-set of opposition” in the next Congress “will be crucial to advancing legislation that will attract Democratic support and force” Obama “into difficult choices over whether to sign measures pushed by his adversaries.” The Times notes “that is why his focus will be lawmakers he thinks he can meld into a governing coalition.”

“All of us from time to time make a point,” Mr. McConnell told the outlet. “But it is time now to make a difference.

A lifetime bureaucrat is finally in charge of the bureaucracy.

All he cares about is making sure the trains run on time.

Republicans: The party of YES.

YES to Obamacare.
YES to Amnesty that will extinct their party.
YES to funding the EPA stranglehold on business.
YES to anything Obama whims.

Tell me again, Republican loyalists: I need to vote for your establishment candidates WHY.....?

How about being the party of YES, WE WILL DEFUND AMNESTY.

All he cares about is making sure the trains run on time.

And those boxcars full of cash get to his cronies.

Mitch McConnell is a flippin idiot

Where’s the deranged McCain in that photo? Due to be the head of the Senate Armed Forces Committee he’ll be unstoppable in his lunacy.

Important to who?

I knew this was coming, but I am still filled with disgust and contempt.

[Texas Eagle]

Thankfully the Founding Fathers put the power of the purse into the hands of The House.

Not that John Boehner is much better than McConnell but at least it stands a better chance of not getting funded.

Time will tell. If McConnell thinks we made our point before the election, wait until the new Congress convenes.

He is the head of the Uniparty’s Republican Senate wing so what else would we expect from him?

[KarlInOhio]

Mitch is pretty much the definition of a Roundheel Republican - Obama gives him a little push and he goes horizontal.

“All of us from time to time make a point,” Mr. McConnell told the outlet.

It's not about making a point, asshole.

[dennisw]

BULLCRAP!
McConnell is catering to the largest GOP donors such as:
Sheldon Adelson
Koch Brothers
Chamber of Commerce
etc etc etc

All the above want cheap labor so are pro-AMNESTY
All the above could care less about Obama Care being defunded/

EPA clampdown on coal electric generation emissions? You might see Mitch McConnel put up opposition

“Making a point. “

Yertle’s point is on the top of his head.

McBoner and the Uniparty.
