“McConnell is a conservative ideologue at heart”
I don’t think so! He gave up way too much on this POS deal and the dems are loading it with pork.
Stop disrupting the voice of the GOP.
It's the only conservative voice we have available politically!
(If the GOP politicians have their way)
Well, I'm not prepared to defend him yet, I've been disappointed too often in the past. But lets see how he handles it. Just because the Dems are stuffing it with pork doesn't mean he has to agree to it. Let's see if he manages to get a decent deal, or agrees to kill it and do it over again in January.
Let's also see if he uses his newfound POWER to keep the Maine sisters in line. That will be a real leadership test.
Nothing wrong with power if it is used for the public good, and not for self agrandizement. Indeed, the typical problem with RINOs is that they have been too damned weak and spineless.
I completely agree. This provided another opportunity to place home state earmarks in the bill, increase the debt all the while having it appear as just a huge tax cut for the “rich”.
If the bill passes with all the pork then all the work to elect republicans and “conservatives” was wasted. Theyvfail on the first test with the power we provided them.
