Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell guaranteed a vote on a bill imposing a federal ban on abortions after 20 weeks of gestation, telling a conservative crowd in Washington that a vote on the divisive legislation would be “good news for our entire country.”
Though the bill passed the House earlier this year after a row over rape-reporting requirements in the legislation, the Senate’s version from Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is a long-shot to pass the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. Several moderate Republicans like Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois and Susan Collins of Maine are likely to oppose the legislation, and only a handful of centrist Democrats would back McConnell.

Mitch is the screen door of the Congressional Submarine.
He’ll cave in at the last minute.
He is a total disappointment
Rope-a-Dope!
Big Deal. Supereme Beings will just negate.
How transparent can one liberal be? TODAY he say this. Today.
It’s over. Congress means nothing.
Question: How will he vote?
If you believe anything he says, you are fooling yourself...
He won’t have to cave. He’ll be allowed by Obama to pass this and then Obama will veto it. These people spent their entire lives scheming to get there and they will scheme away every waking hour to stay there.
In the end, he’ll feign a ‘good fight’ and depend on his constituents picking the lesser of two evils while he simultaneously crushes any real conservative dissent. It’s what they do. IIRC, his ticket is punched until 2018. What him worry?
Mitch is in “some closet”.... and I really do not want to know whats going on in there..
Once known cannot be un-known..
Precisely what McConnell and Boehner think -- much less what they do -- is meaningless.
Has Obama told Boehner yet how to vote on this? Once Mitch is told how to vote maybe he’ll pass on the order to Boehner.
Doing anything else would be racist, or something...
This is the scrap he throws to conservatives after gutting the US Constitution on every other issue.
I wouldn’t say meaningless. Far from it. What they do is treachery and they have become very adept at it.
Sure, Mitch. Just like you overturned 0bamacare. Please, just shut up and go away.
No, he’s faking. They all fake. A “cave-in” means he believed in it in the first place.
But McConnell was a liberal RINO way back in the Reagan days. Nothing but a career politician.
Yup, just like committing to the Obamacare repeal.
Nothing.
Dead.
* What him worry? *
I really wish that we had Alfred E Newman instead of Mitch as a Senator!
...he couldn’t do any worse
