MITCH MCCONNELL CAVES The Senate GOP calls retreat on amnesty.
By Jeffrey Lord – 2.26.15
You can almost see Ronald Reagan rolling his eyes and saying, “There they go again.” Republicans in the Senate are ready to cave. Yes, they promised something different when they were running a few months ago. If voters just put them in charge, boy would things be different! But hey: now they’re going to fund the Department of Homeland Security and pretend they’re actually living up to their campaign promises to oppose the president on amnesty.

Over at Breitbart was this quoted from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

just how gay is the closet queen?

I’m speculating the Democrats have some damning goods on the Kentucky Turtle and he’s selling out to save his sorry behind from exposure. Great Mitch. The country has to be sacrificed to save your worthless hide.

Would this be the same Ronald Reagan who signed the Reagan Amnesty in 1986?
All who oppose the destruction have a hoover file on thier a##es and or threats to them and thier families, bet on it!
Obama’s Bitch Mitch strikes a blow again for Commie Obama
Hell, McTurtle ran up the white flag the evening of NOV 4 before all the votes were even counted—Why is anybody even remotely surprised.
Right now, it’s a contest between Boner and McTurtle to see who will inflict the fatal blow on the GOP.
McTurtle has the lead.
Grandma, said she never voted: why encourage them, they never keep their WORD!
