Sen. Mitch McConnell gives the Republican Party's Weekly Remarks

Hello, I'm Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. I'm proud to represent Kentucky in the United States Senate. I'm also honored to have served this past year as leader of the Senate's new Republican majority.

When you voted for this new majority last November, the Senate was a mess. Some thought the Senate could never be cured of its dysfunction and its gridlock.

But the new majority you elected didn't agree. We believed the Senate could be restored to a place of high purpose again, and we've made great strides over the past year proving that it can. (Scroll down for video of these remarks.)

They didn't need a majority to get this monstrosity passed. Isn't it pretty much everything they stopped when they were a minority?,

There's only one conclusion that makes any sense. That would be that they weren't going to pass Obama's budget until there were enough freebies for them in it.

Beyond disgusted.

When you voted [me in] last November, the Senate was a mess.

Still is, you spineless POS. Republicans control both the House and the Senate and did absolutely NOTHING to address OUR concerns...not yours. The White House is having a "Republican's Caved" celebration and you have the stones to pat yourself on the back. You're so damn dumb you can't even see what an abject failure you are to the people of KY and the rest of us conservative Republicans. You should be ashamed to show your face in public, but are so dense you congratulate yourself. Despicable...

McConnell gave Obama everything he wanted, and it doing so betrayed every single tenet of the Platform of the Republican Party.

McConnell is a traitor to Republican principles and a curse on America.

How much will your socialist promises cost my six year old grandson and his three year old sister? Shame on you, KY, for voting for this liar decade after decade. We ought to have a way of voting states like this out of the Union because their representatives are destroying the country.

Excuse me.....I just threw up.

Establishment is digging their grave and they seem to be oblivious to the fact it is even happening.

So be it.

Among the long list of lies, this one caught my eye first: “we passed a balanced budget, for the first time since 2001?”

The Congressional Budget Office projects the deficit for this year will be $426 Billion. How is that balanced?

Lay off KY residents. They are not alone. I am in Florida and I am sorry Rubio. A non vote IS NOT the same as a vote for no. Plenty of blame to go around.

Again they don’t care what we KNOW or what we THINK, and they have no problem being in your face about.

McConnel reaffirms who they are, We are the Rino pack, We are in it to continually consolidate our Power and Wealth, We will be as Corrupt as we want to be, we are Big, we are Bad, we do not care who does not like it.
