Mitch McConnell on verge of chance to be Senate majority leader (No Thanks, we'll pick someone else)

He has to go

.

[ari-freedom]

We could also end up with someone much worse!

[Servant of the Cross]

Jim DeMint. Paging Senator Jim DeMint. Please pick up the white courtesy phone in the lobby for an urgent message!

[montag813]

Both Boner and Lockjaw need to go.

[eyeamok]

Mitch McConnel is the problem that has infected America and should resign in disgrace before he is removed.

[JSDude1]

Jim DeMint for Majority Leader!

[exit82]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell operates with a steely resolve, a political discipline that leaves nothing to chance.

Can't stop laughing right there!

McConnell,Frist, Lott--one of the reasons Conservatives have had it with the GOP establishment.

Having McConnell and Boehner as the opposition makes Obama, Axelrod, Jarrett, Reid and Pelosi go to bed happy at night.

[liberalh8ter]

Heck NO! I would like nothing more than to see McConnell go home - for good!

[COBOL2Java]

But, but, IT’S HIS TURN! < / RINO off >

[Venturer]

We could end up with someone much better too.

You buy’s your ticket, you takes your chance’s.

There must be someone in the Senate who isn’t waiting his turn—that is better than McConnell.

Sometimes those who wait their turn are not the best we can find for the job.

[Elle Bee]

off the top of my head it's hard to think of someone who is less intimidating than Mr. Milquetoast

He's the kind of 'leader' who keeps feeding the crocodiles hoping he'll be the last one eaten

.

[SECURE AMERICA]

And for 25 years in Congress, the Kentucky Republican has waited for the moment now before him:

Right there is why he should NOT be the Majority Leader.
This is not a union. The job should go to the most qualified. Not the next in line, not someone just because of seniority.

[Mouton]

I think having Rubio, Sessions, Demint or someone like them would make them shiver in their boots.

[Qwackertoo]

Jim DeMint first choice. Maybe Jeff Sessions second choice or Richard Shelby.

[traditional1]

Jeff Sessions would be my pick, I think.

[Nickname]

When McConnell speaks, eyes glaze over.

[pogo101]

Get DeMint. Isn’t this a secret caucus vote anyway?

[ronnie raygun]

This is not a stand in line and wait your turn.

[Joe Boucher]

If the Tea party helps again defeat dems will they be given a seat at the adult table this time?
Or will Juan Boehner and Mitch be kept to keep the gravey train coming???
