Yesterday’s Senate vote on the confirmation of Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s nominee to succeed Attorney General Eric Holder, was a classic example of why talk among conservatives of forming a third party alternative to the establishment Republican Party will not die.
Not only did the usual jelly-backed Senate Republicans vote to confirm Lynch, they were led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose job is, ostensibly, to be the leader of the conservative opposition to Obama and his lawless progressive agenda.
In moving the Lynch nomination McConnell broke a pre-election promise that no attorney general nominee would be considered in his Senate if that nominee supported Obama’s executive amnesty, something that Lynch testified she supports.
So McConnell’s vote for Lynch was a sort of “go to hell” moment that conservatives should recognize for what it is: Mitch McConnell saying directly to the conservative Republican grassroots and the conservative movement that opposed Lynch that, despite the fact that conservative voters handed back the Senate majority to the Republican Party in 2014 to make him Senate Majority Leader, he not only doesn’t care what they think, he will go out of his way to disrespect them and confound their policy goals.
Lynch, who testified under oath that she would readily carry out policies contrary to the Constitution could have – indeed should have – been stopped by Republicans in the Senate, but she wasn’t.
In fact ten Republicans voted for Lynch, despite a substantial outpouring of conservative opposition from the grassroots of the Republican Party, the conservative blogospere and conservative commentators and opinion writers all of whom argued that Loretta Lynch would be as bad or worse than Eric Holder –

He DEEPLY resents that he was challenged last year and that he had to spend so much of his precious campaign account (slush fund) just to get renominated. He got all his faithful minions reelected and is out for blood.
Next person to call for electing RINO’s and the “lesser evil” should be FLOGGED
It is almost like they have something up their sleeve that the don’t expect to need the conservative vote which is 40% of the people by some polls.
Hey McConnell: shut up, and $%^&$% you too...
Those ten ‘Republicans’ will rot in h*** for their wickedness. Shouldn’t an attorney who breaks the law be disbarred? Lynch should be disbarred, not be in charge of this once great country.
It very well may be revenge; but I still would like to know what the NSA, CIA, FBI et al have on McConnel and Boehner, it must be very bad.
If Obama (for whatever reason) can't be impeached, she possibly could be impeached.
Any Constitutional experts in the audience?
When the Resistance finally finds its courage and revolution sweeps this nation, McConnell needs to be one of the first to hang.
Yes, I said it. Ban me.
Turtle Neck and Bonehead seem to be more interested in crushing conservatives than fighting 0bola.
Mitch, would be much better if you did. You sorry piece of you know what.
OK now, all in unison..
FUMC !!
McConnel’s Cabal....
Rinorat Interbreeding of rats and rhinos..
Come on everyone. This was horse trading at its best. The republicans wanted the Human Trafficking bill to move forward and the rats wouldn’t do it until McConnell relented on Lynch.
In other words, once again the rats owned McConnell.
The GOP is as evil as Obama.
and WORSE because the GOP lies, deceives, cheats,
as it protects treason and corruption.
EXEMPT McConnell is truly the Head of the GOP
and represents every disgusting Truth about that evil party.
I agree, i could make a long list..Boehner at the top too
I watched the vote live,
john McLettuce kept breezin the table then when
lynch had the vote, he voted no cause it would cover his ass back home
a true POS
Seriously, I am hoping that the scales finally fall from the eyes of many as we watch these 2 years of gopE control of both chambers proceed.
The feeling is mutual.

Everyone should remember these names and primary them out. They are Democrats in R jerseys advancing the left’s agenda under the guise of being Republicans.
They either voted for cloture to move the nomination forward or voted for a nominee who testified that federal laws are meaningless.
All ten of them ought to have their @$$e$ handed back to them in the next election.
Thank you for posting that complete list, the ones voting for cloture need to be outed as much as the ones voting to confirm.
