Just sent this to McConnell via his website:

Good Morning, Senator.

Thanks for folding like a house of cards on Obamacare.

Have you tried reading the Federalist papers (say #7) on the issues which come up when Federal taxes are apportioned differently between the several states?
You know, concerning the bribe Sen. Nelson of Nebraska received for his principled heroic stand on behalf of his constituents...which lasted all of, what, two days?
Hint: think “Unconstitutional”.

And you’re too LAZY to sacrifice Christmas for a mere 1/6 of the Nation’s economy? Our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere have to miss Christmas — and without the Cadillac plan, hefty pensions, Congressional banking (are your Dem friends back to kiting checks again? : you might want to double check as it’s been 15 years) — which you take for granted.

Here’s a clue, Senator.
Call your colleagues in the House.
I know they are mere mortals, and not part of the SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, and you might get lice from them merely by having one of your staffers picking up the phone to call. I know they are beneath your dignity as those who have to (chortle) return to their districts occasionally to run for re-election and ask for money from the great unwashed in flyover country.
But I’m asking, in the spirit of Christmas, the time of giving, that you do this, as a gift. Ask them to reach out to threatened Blue Dog Democrats — you know, how one Democrat from Alabama joined the GOP yesterday? — and suggest that they band together to replace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.
Think of it as payback for Jumping Jim Jeffords, or for Arlen Specter.
How’d that dissing of the base by rejecting Toomey work for President Bush anyway, eh? Really solidified the party.

...oh, and Merry Christmas.
