Mitch McConnell yesterday just gave Obama 14 of the 17 justices he was looking for on the Federal bench.

Then he tried to spin it as a ‘win’ because he got something so insignificant I can’t remember what it was.

We have those 14 for LIFE. Either McConnell, the leader of the GOP in the Senate, is an idiot, which I don’t think he is, or he gave Obama his 14 because . . .

I can’t think or a reason why.

This isn’t a PHANTOM GOP establishment we are talking about here. This is REAL.

You either go over the cliff at 100 MPH with a liberal in the WH, or go over the cliff at 95 MPH with a ‘moderate’.

Sorry, no dice. I’m not going to get behind ANYBODY but a conservative.

If we can’t win with a conservative, then let the country go to hell and let the D’s take proper credit for it. Franklin always said that this system of government would only serve a moral people. We aren’t anymore.

Next go around, we’ll create a parliamentary system and govern by coalition they way every other representative republic does and quit fooling ourselves into thinking two parties can get it done.

He got a handshake agreement that Reid would bring the House-passed JOBS bill up for senate consideration.

I don't know what the House-passed JOBS bill contains, but assume it is MORE government spending, another program, etc. sort of thing.

Based on your appraisal that the GOP Congress is worthless as well, you really aren’t going to have abig role in electoral politics in America.

Now you’re going to let Obama be reelected because of Mitch McConnel. OK.

My point about a GOP establishment was they are not “controlling” the nomination process. Gingrich and Santorum have won lots of states. They may still win it all. Fight for them to win. All the talk of what the GOP is doing to the nominating process is sour grapes in advance. There isn’t even a nominee yet.
