Poll: 6% Approve of Mitch McConnell, Lowest Rating of Any Lawmaker
Breitbart ^ | 12/19/2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 12/19/2023 9:46:26 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 81, earned the lowest overall rating of any lawmaker in Congress, dropping six points in one year to a mere 6% approval, a Monmouth University poll recently found.

Under McConnell’s Senate leadership, the national debt has soared more than $30 trillion ($101,196 per American), illegal immigration has continued, real wages for American workers have remained stagnant, Obamacare was enacted in 2010, big banks were bailed out in 2008, and social media companies have silenced individuals without repercussions. Dr. Anthony Fauci remains unaccountable for allegedly twice lying to Congress.

I refer you to James Madison’s Federalist 53.

You mean that it takes more then a year for election fraud to be proven?

He was right.

Nothing in there about how we had to, or even should, keep elected officials in office for decades.

I am fairly sure Madison would find the idea of someone being in office forty years repugnant.

Madison served in public office from 1780-1834.

Different public offices.

Not the same office.

So what? He was elected every time. Maybe that's because he was a good, competent, and valuable man. Yet you would toss him because you don't trust your fellow voters.

Maybe the competence of those voters is the real problem, one that term limits can make worse (see "California").

It's not the fix you hope it would be. While I understand the sentiment, our energies would be more effective logically redirected.

Of course he was. That is because they have put any number of rules in place to keep anyone else from having a chance at running for the job.

Maybe that's because he was a good, competent, and valuable man.

So Mitch McConnell is a good, competent, and valuable man? Really?

Yet you would toss him because you don't trust your fellow voters.

I would toss him because people, and voters are people you know, have a tendency toward inertia. They don't tend to move unless you prod them with a sharp stick. Term limits is the least violent sharp stick that can be used.

Maybe the competence of those voters is the real problem, one that term limits can make worse (see "California").

California has any number of problems and has had for a very long time. While you may want to cry about term limits I really doubt they made the state suck any worse than it already did. That ship sailed when California decided that election fraud was just the bees eyebrows. Or maybe when it decided that the little red hen was just an ol meanie and roasted her for supper.

Me: Maybe that's because he (James Madison, author of the Bill of Rights) was a good, competent, and valuable man.

You: So Mitch McConnell is a good, competent, and valuable man? Really?

I didn't say that. For you to portray me as witlessly equating McConnell and Madison is both dishonest and unethical.

The voters of Kentucky in the last primary election took McConnell over Matt Bevin, apparently because they believed the incumbent would deliver the pork.

Me: Yet you would toss him (Madison) because you don't trust your fellow voters.

You: I would toss him (Madison) because people, and voters are people you know, have a tendency toward inertia.

This conversation is over. You place untested beliefs and feelings over historical data. You are likely a product of a public education dedicated to teaching you to emote instead of think. If you would toss James Madison; if you think he was, after decades of dedicated public service, no better than an unknonwn, then this conversation is over. Your irrational presumptions are all the argument I need.

Yet, Kentucky voters keep electing him.

Democrats cross over to vote for him, just like Miss Lindsay.
