Is it time for Senator Mitch McConnell,Republican Leader - United States Senator for Kentucky,to go?
It is definitely time for McConnell to go.
It is time for almost every one of them to go.
oh please. This is nonsense. Everyone bitched about “teaching a lesson” in ‘06 but didn’t bother to follow through during the primaries and general and now look where we are: terrorists have the same rights in courts as we do, gas is at an all time high, we have to play patty cake to get answers from captured terrorists, and the GOP candidate for president is a yawn. Way to “teach lesson”
why , is he shifting back and forth on his feet and breaking out in a sweat?
Mitch is doing pretty good. Good with press/TV too.
Everyone has to stand up in opposition. Quit bitching.
Mcconnell is a brilliant senate tactician and in my opinion is one of the ONLY ones showing any spine at all in the senate. Would you care to expand why you feel he should go anywhere?
There are plenty of “RINO” Republicans at every political level and Democrats at every political level who truly need to “go” much more than Senator McConnell does!
so far in the past hour, we’ve seen Scalia and McConnell thrown under the bus. Think Reagan will survive the night without tire tracks up his backside?
He has been there to long.
No, it’s time for Pelosi to go. Room reserved in Hell just for her.
Bingo! The Republican Party is in a pretty bad state right now & when you're one of the leaders - the buck stops right at you.
Mitch was on the move before gas cracked the $4.00/ gallon barrier
“Manufacturers Favor McConnell Energy Plan
May 15, 2008
The National Association of Manufacturers welcomed the energy plan (S. 2958) offered May 7 by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as an amendment to the Flood Insurance Bill and expressed concerns about the bill offered by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
“The energy plan in Senator McConnell’s amendment will help to diversify our fuel, lower the cost of energy, create jobs, and increase America’s energy security,” said John Engler, association president and chief executive officer. “It’s an important step toward the comprehensive domestic energy policy that America needs for the long-term health of manufacturing and the economy.” Engler called the amendment “a sensible approach to America’s critical energy needs.”

Hmmm, but go where?
Here is the lesson: Even the very worst RINO can usually be reasoned with, and will vote our way most of the time. Reason with the Libs? Mission Impossible.
I think Harry Reid would say yes to your question.
McConnell has been the head of the Republicans in the Senate for too long? He took over in January 2007 from Frist. 18 months is too long?
Good grief.
McConnell has been the only Republican Senate leader to seriously fight against the Democrats since Bob Dole. Lott and Frist certainly lowered the bar, but McConnell has done a good job of fighting off Reid and the press.
