> “McConnell’s voting record isn’t nearly as bad as ANY Democrat. Pick any. None of them come remotely close to voting as conservative as Mitch.”
Well you had a little point until you got here and showed your inexperience.
McConnell and his voting record are fraudulent.
In case you haven’t been watching, Ted Cruz just exposed him for all to see. Freepers including this one have known of McConnell’s fraud for years but there is no excuse now for anyone to not know of it now.
McConnell was a pork king under GW Bush and he’s a covert pork king under Obama. He works by advancing legislation for the democrats and then when the actual prepackaged vote comes, he votes conservative to bolster his conservative ratings. But all the while he is working to grow government and increase spending to keep pork under his control.
Democrats know they own McConnell.
I’m watching Senator McConnell, but I don’t really want to defend his voting record at this point. Why? Because I hope we have a staunch conservative running in Mitch’s place come November. I will state his voting record, fraudulent though you claim it may be, is still better than a Democrat.
I’m amazed at how we demonize anyone who not only doesn’t vote with us 100% of the time but those who merely don’t agree on tactics. For example, some Republicans apparently believed the debt battle couldn’t be won at this time and thought it was going to harm our chances in November. They may have shared Cruz’s ideology. They didn’t agree with his approach.
Keep in mind I ALWAYS want more conservatives in DC, and I absolutely do not suggest we should surrender control of the GOP to the RINOs. They certainly don’t intend to surrender to us. No matter who wins, we better learn how to cooperate against Democrats. We can’t afford to have any of our guys sitting at home or registering protest votes in November. That’s a sure way to defeat.
Again, I’ll take a 50% RINO any day over a 100% Democrat if that’s the best I can get. This all or nothing political warfare is going to get us slaughtered.
