Step one: Fool the people into reelecting me by pretending to be a conservative hard liner

Step two: Once safe reelected, go back to assisting the advance of liberalism and the destruction of any conservative opposition

Let me see, how much support did he give Cruz when he attempted to do just that? Humm, NONE.

“Step two: Once safe reelected, go back to assisting the advance of liberalism and the destruction of any conservative opposition”

No doubt if the GOP takes the Senate, and he becomes majority leader, his first act will be to reinstate full filibuster powers for the minority party. After all, the media, the president, and Harry Reid will tell him it is only fair.

“Mitch, Mitch, Mitch. You’re fooling no one.”

He’s fooling those who want “a republican senate.” Not necessarily a conservative senate, just a republican senate. But the senate would be more conservative without him.

Threatening a shutdown then making good on it could be a crime now.

I say now who do you, who do you, think you’re foolin...

He is in effect calling all who support a Constitutional Free Republic, fools, it just goes to show how few of us their are as he continues to be elected, albeit always by hook or crook.

Our Free Republic is wasting away.

Revolution Now, to save our Free Republic!

We should start saying it now, say it often, and say it like we mean it, and be prepared to follow through, damn near every thread on FR demands we end comments with Revolution Now, as FDR said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.

Precisely right.

The destruction of any conservative opposition would be a top GOPe priority. These people are not to be trusted.

Both wings of the Uniparty love big government. To pretend otherwise is foolishness.

Mitch using the McCain strategy for re-election.

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so cynical.

This degenerate is as dishonest as they come. Business as usual is lieing to potential voters, becoming elected, then, doing whatever he wants. BS. Throw the bum out.

McConnell needs to get his next dinner with Obama scheduled and go back to taking a nap or whatever he’s been doing for the past six years. Not one person is in jail as a result of all the Obama scandals and lawless acts. The republican party is a joke in internet mail and rightfully so. The only hope they have of winning is with a conservative main candidate for president in 2016. America has had it with them as well as with the lawless democrats.

Undoing the Obama damage will require a heroic effort, and I see no heroes. Anywhere.
