Say what you will about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, but the man can deliver a joke.
Speaking at Washington’s tony Alfalfa Club dinner on Saturday night, the Republican spared few targets, the New York Times reports. McConnell poked fun at himself, new inductee Mitt Romney, and fellow members of the U.S. Senate, including a particularly incendiary Tea Party Republican from Texas.
McConnell noted that Cruz — the anti-Obamacare crusader who spearheaded the 2013 government shutdown, thereby earning the enmity of many fellow Republicans — had once proclaimed that he would throw himself in front of a moving train, if that’s what killing health reform would take.

From all accounts, Walker is pro-amnesty. That is not a conservative value, or stand, and amnesty will “fundamentally transform” America. That is why Obama is dealing out amnesty. So how is Walker different from Obama, on a national scale? Just a question, and not aimed at you. I base my vote on the candidate’s stand on issues, not whether I think they are the lesser evil. I will never vote for anyone who is pro-amnesty or pro-abortion, no matter what party they belong to. Implementation of these two concepts is destroying America.
We’ll just toss McConnell onto the tracks as an offering to the steel gods.

None of the Republican candidates is evil. The use of the term in Republican context is either serious error or malicious lie
The same is true of amnesty. what ultimately happens will not include permanent deportation for 12 million or so illegals. It just isn’t going to happen. The President might have some serious input but the matter is going to be ultimately decided by the congress.
What ever passes will be defined as amnesty by some because it doesn’t permanently deport the millions
So long as Obama is alive and serving, nothing of substance will be decided anyway.
Can’t believe I’m first:
