how Un-PC of me...*snickering*
McConnell’s failure (and of the other Republican Senate and House leaders) to reign in spending initiatives by Bush and by Republican Congressmen during the years that they controlled all three levels (Jan 2003 to Jan. 2007), is enough to have disqualified him from ever remaining in the Republican leadership. He is a big government hack who sees his role of gagging and binding his felllow Republicans to make sure they “go along to get along” with his buddies on the other side of the aisle. McConnell is poster boy for everything that’s wrong with Washington.
