Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he’s “perplexed” by President Barack Obama’s actions since the mid-term elections, arguing Obama seems in denial over the “butt-kicking” the Democratic Party experienced.

If he doesn’t get it now, he needs to go.
He still doesn’t get it. When a conservative Republican comes out and says “Barack Hussein Obama has committed high treason against the United States of America, and continues to do so. I will not rest until all of my colleagues in congress remove this traitor from our midst and try him for high treason. Let him have his day in court.” Then congress makes it happen.
Then I will believe this country can be saved by our government. Obama cannot be allowed to get away with this. If he isn’t punished and destroyed politically along with all his lackeys, and possibly sent to prison or worse. Then America is lost.
A corrupt government cannot be cleansed by a corrupt government. 95% of congress is complicit.
I ask you all, what would Thomas Jefferson do? If some of his countrymen were purposefully undermining America, and those he called friends went along with it? He would get Freedom loving Americans, and stop it at any cost. Or gladly pay the consequences of failure with head held high, spitting in the face of tyranny. But at least he would try. Not go out with a whimper while discussing what should be done, but never acting.
If they really cared, they wouldn’t have done things like go full-on dirty in Mississippi in order to defeat a real conservative.
The GOP is the White Flag Party. Not an ounce of political conviction in their sorry ranks.
As I and others have been saying: elections are moot since Cook County went national.
These every-other-year popularity contests are just kabuki theater to placate the masses. They give political junkies the same rush as DWTS...
Yes. Margaret Thatcher’s “ratchet effect”. That was one smart woman.
The fact that the GOP allows clowns like Boehner and McConnell to lead them tells you everything you need to know about the party. They are the Stupid Party. A well-earned moniker if there ever was one.
Rip VanTurtle appears to either be a little slow on the uptake or is just paying lip service to the flyovers. I'll go with the latter.
Yes. Somebody, I seem to recall Mark Twain, said that if voting mattered, it would be illegal.
mcconnell is “perplexed”?????? Great leadership there, jocko. Just great.
Mitch, if you are perplexed, you just aren’t very bright...
Republicans may win some mid-terms
************
By lying to their base solely to get elected. After that, its right back business as usual. The Republican base apparently doesn’t mind being deceived again and again.
The Tea Party was our last best chance IMO. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like that movement has staying power.
And they [Republican base] criticize the Democrat base for allowing the Democrats to deceive them.
McConnell would be “perplexed” if he simply views Obama as a typical politician, who would have to face the “realities” of a conventional system and work with the legislative branch to get anything accomplished at all.
If you view Obama as a would-be tinpot dictator whose primary objective is to destroy as much of America as possible, his actions are a lot less “perplexing”.
McConnell loves to talk about the butt kicking that Obama and the democrats took,then he folds like a cheap camera when it comes to doing anything about stopping the Marxist democrats and the cabal of America haters
The repeated statement that the Republicans just won a big election ignores an important fact. This is not 1814 when there were three branches of government—this is 2014 when there are five branches of government, the legislative, judicial, executive, regulatory, and media branches. The Dem socialists control four of the five and are strongly in control of the federal government. The states were reduced in power when their representation in the US Senate was removed and they were further subordinated through decades of budgetary centralization in the federal government.
The Dems are well in control. The Republicans are far less influential and the citizenry, of course, is virtually without a voice, needed only to pay taxes and therefore fund the Dem gov’t.
The Dem party may have experienced a ‘butt-kicking’, but the Prez is still running circles around the Pubbies.
The Pubbies have already given up their major Constitutional tools — power of the purse and the power of impeachment.
Obama already called their bluffs and the Pubbies already folded.
That’s the thing that always amazes me about McConnell.
Any focus group worth a damn would tell the GOP the McConnell comes across as a dumb, out of touch stooge in public. Put aside issues with his RINO tendencies, he’s just a bad stage presence to be the face of our “brand”.
We’ve made so many good changes there with better candidates at the state level, yet haven’t figured out Mitch and Boehner (who has the same problem) need to be immediately replaced just on simple aesthetics.
McConnell and Boehner gave Obama the thumbs up for every dictatorial thing he’s doing. Any opposition they show is theater designed to fool the people. It’s the GOPe that is ignoring the election more than Obama.
