6 Ways McConnell Betrays the Republican Base
American Thinker ^ | 24 Jun, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 06/24/2022 4:23:55 AM PDT by MtnClimber

There's a definite pattern here.

I do try to respect President Reagan's 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of thy fellow Republican." I know ideological litmus tests rub some people the wrong way. I get that turning internal disagreements into political losses is self-defeating. I agree that priority number one is to beat back the Marxist hoards pushing America to the cliff's edge. And it sure is nice to pat ourselves on the back for having a "big tent" open to everyone. But…you knew it was coming…I sure wish we could move on from Mitch McConnell. Or rather, I wish we could find an effective way to compel Republican senators to move on from McConnell (and his lackeys) as their leader.

I don't like him. I don't like the way he conducts business in the Senate. I don't like his imperious nature and his backroom double-dealings. I don't think he represents the vast majority of Republican voters, and even worse, I don't think he even cares. I find him off-putting and arrogant and a terrible spokesperson for the Republican Party. I do not think he has ever convinced a single non-Republican voter to come onboard. I'm not certain he believes in much aside from the accumulation and maintenance of raw power. And to the extent he actually does have sincere beliefs, those beliefs seem hopelessly aligned to an outdated Republican Party still grazing in the country-club safe spaces of bourbon-swilling "elites."

His fingerprints are all over the Senate's new gun control bill, of course, because nothing gets done on the Republican side unless Mitch first snaps his fingers or gives his blessing. His control over Republicans in the upper chamber looks more mafia don than minority leader. So once again Senate Republicans are marching down a path

The “Big Tent” has a huge rip in it, and Cheney, Mittens, et al., must be jettisoned.

Democrats and RINOS want government to replace God in deciding who gets rights.

With allies like McConnell who needs enemies? All 15 of them and I are done.

I prefer my enemies to be in the enemy’s trench. I didn’t bring it down to this. They did.

If it wasn’t for McConnell we would not have the 6-3 conservative majority on the court that we have today. And we would not have gotten the decision that came down yesterday in the NY state CCW case. McConnell has his flaws like anyone else but he is not the problem.

This gun bill was the wrong hill for this rubber faced idiot to die on. Will be shot down before it’s employed

He did do a good job of putting 15 traitors in the cross hairs.

I hope he lives long enough to see Trump 2.0. and then suffers for a long time and dies.

I must add this comment regarding him.

Where I come from he is a white trash

grifter . Look at the wife & her origins.

+_financial status //

His public persona comes across as a

empty vessel yet he constantly craves

his media appearances and always presents

himself as a doofus.

Will ssomeone hold the door so the

white trash can be emptied?

Gypsy please all please none but

the grift is strong with him

All for me none for thee

i dont really care

Yes he is. He shortlisted Trump’s picks, who have let us down on numerous occasions. If it wasn’t for this scumbag, we would have a court of Alito and Thomas types. The types of judge’s not on his list.

Kavanaugh and Conan O’Brien suck. Yeah they were right here. Probably more because of Clarence Thomas than their own feeble minds.

His backing a bad bill might lead to civil war.

If it comes down to losing guns or using guns, barrels will become heated.

From now on you need to be careful with every word you write.

My second sentence might cause me to lose a gun if I owned one, even though it is a statement intended to maintain a peaceful society.

Tucker Carlson went nuclear on Mitch and the republicans this week and it is a must read/must see. Here are just a couple of his comments:

“At the very moment that Joe Biden is at his weakest, months before a pivotal midterm election, Republicans are propping him up. They are saving Biden from himself. Since the day Biden was elected, Republicans in Washington have taken Biden’s side on virtually every significant item in his policy agenda. That would include: COVID restrictions, vaccine mandates, transgender ideology in school, sanctions against China, the January 6 charade, free speech, civil liberties, spying by the Intel agencies, preserving the big tech monopolies, the anti-White race politics of CRT and Juneteenth, border enforcement and energy policy, and above all, the administration’s signature issue: its lunatic and reckless support for the war on Ukraine. Republicans are all-n.”

“Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer are united in their fear of populism and in their gut-level loathing of the American public and they’re not alone. What Washington fears most is democracy – that is letting voters have what they want. That’s not allowed. Republicans and Democrats have formed a uniparty specifically to prevent it. You see this everywhere, but you see it most clearly in the gun control legislation that’s in the Senate right now.”

You would prefer a couple of Merrick Garlands? Half a loaf is better than no loaf at all.
