Explaining why McConnell made this statement is easy.
What he is doing is asking the undecideds or even people who hate him personally as leader, to vote for a Republican Senate and by that he has the votes to repeal, whereas right now, he does not.
It is a little like Newt’s contract, in that it says, give us the votes and we will do X.
You have attracted to your thread a plethora of comments that hate on McConnell. He’s far from my leader choice as well. But his statement isn’t wrong, they just don’t like who is making it.
If it was someone they liked and respected, and he or she said this, they would pull a Rush and say, right on right on right on right on.
The quality of the posts on FR lately has been worse than normal. Some of the same posters show up over and over and the tone is always the same: “Woe is us, the left has won, it's hopeless, there is nothing we can do, and on and on and on.”
For the true believing (but depressed) Conservative/Libertarian to get on a public forum and attempt to bring down the rest of us with all of this defeatism is shameful. And it's slightly hard to believe. If you've given up why spend so much time badmouthing our chances to defeat the enemy?
I suspect George Soros and others of his ilk have spent considerable amounts on paid posters with the idea that by spreading this gloom and doom they can suppress the vote on the right.
If they win and don't do it, then we can take appropriate action.
If they win and don't do it, then we can take appropriate action.
If they win and don't do it, then we can take appropiate action.
