Rand Paul is right. McConnell is no Arlen Specter, he is worse. Specter is dead and can therefore damage the country no more. McConnell is alive and in the position to do irreparable damage, and he seems hell bent on doing so.

My thoughts exactly.

What difference does it make how McConnell personally thinks or votes? He's the minority leader and has constantly caved to Reed and the Demonrats. There's something to the phrase, "He's got the courage of his convictions" that simply doesn't apply to McConnell. Well, everything. When the guy musters more ire for the base of his own party than for those wrecking our nation on the other side of the aisle, something is badly FUBARed - and he thus needs to go.

McConnell is doubtless a very nice guy, and a pretty conservative guy. But he's not the right person to lead the Republicans in the Senate, and there's no way to remove him from that position short of removing him from office. OK, so be it. We are in a war for our culture, our country and our freedoms. There is no room for General Caspar Milquetoast - we need a Patton! OFF WITH HIS HEAD (Politically-speaking, that is)!

I think this is the biggest problem with the entire republican leadership. They try to say and do the right things, yet are afraid to fight. There are a number of us here who watched Harry Reid controll the agenda of the Senate from the Minority leaders position, why does McConnell raise the white flag so often.

McConnell needs to go because he is unwilling to lead a fight, since just the budget compromise he has lied when he responded to the questions of When and Where will you fight?
