I would eliminate stupid. That only leaves evil. But, in Mc Connell’s case, the voters of Kentucky gave him their seal of approval to go ahead and crush the Tea Party.
McConnell didn’t campaign on crushing the Tea Party, so I wouldn’t say that Kentucky voters approved that agenda item. McConnell campaigned as a conservative. RINOism has no public support. He and RINOs campaign right and govern RINO. They have to lie, just like the Lieberals.
