The idea of doing anything legally permissible to oppose McConnell in his next election so he is gone is gaining traction in my mind...

Senators who think like that:

Place politics OVER the Constitution.

That is political garbage, they’ve got to go.

Senator John McCain cautioned that opposition to McConnell’s proposal could constitute “treason.” “This country is fighting for its economic survival,” McCain argued. “The President is our Commander-in-Chief in this fight. It is everyone’s duty to get behind him, follow his orders, and carry out his plan.

I've got no words of wisdom for anyone who believes the above quote.

Chucky Shmucky is telling us exactly what our Marxist in Chief will do. John Boehner needs to get a bill on the floor for a vote on what Republicans want appropriations for and let’s see what happens in the Senate. Call their bluff and get them all on record with a vote.

*sigh*....
I'm sure; Stalin / Hitler / Mao-tse / Castro / Pol-Pot & OBama,
would've totally agreed with that (fine) statement, too.

Russian / German: "YAH!....Ve have our orders!!!!!"

[Fearful that a failure to raise the federal government’s debt ceiling “could lead to the end of government as we know it,” Senator Mitch McConnell.]

That’s the whole point, you ignorant ass! It would be the “end” of Government as McConnell knows it. The rest of us would celebrate in the streets!

Boehner observed. “Right now, that means that the debt ceiling acts like a defacto ‘balanced budget Amendment.’ This gives the anti-spending crowd tremendous leverage.

Well duuugh... Go Boehner.. do not raise the debt ceiling..

it wouldn't be funny if it weren't so true

after McConnell grows a chin he should then grow a set of stones

The fine print of the bill will be a directive to change the name of the executive office from “president” to “Caesar.”

Normally, such an action would require a constitutional amendment, but hey, that’s all passe.

Great satire, as always. Although, by tomorrow it will probably be news.
