So the debt limit is raised and the veterans didn’t get their benefits restored? Thanks to Paul Ryan....he made it all possible.
I dont give a damn what party a liberal is in, they need to be removed, and the more power they have the more they need to be removed.
We got this mess in the Republican party because absolute idiots who utterly lack the mental faculties to play a long game care more about momentary party numbers than about supporting any particular ideology.
Yes, because as we all know, Kentuckians are just a bunch of moonshine swilling, snaggle toothed, backwoods inbreds.
I swear, your act here is becoming more and more transparent.
The State outside of Louisville is mostly conservative, very conservative. For many years there was a conservative part of the state that none the less always voted Democrat, that part of the state was the coal fields which do what the United Mine Workers bosses tell them to do. The Democrats have dumped coal, they are by dumping coal dumping those voters. No amount of cajoling by the UMW will change that.
Now, McConnell, I hardly know what to say. Mostly I have liked him. He has in the main been conservative when it was a very unpopular thing to be and mostly a pretty smart fellow. I'm sure there is a reason for this stupid vote I just don't know what it is. I have been told that his strategist mind conceived a plan for taking the Senate that did not include a fight at this time over the budget or having a government shutdown that could be blamed on Republicans.
McConnell knew for sure that for the sake of his personal politics he should not have voted the way he did. I suspect the results would eventually have been the same anyway but I think he was forced into an unenviable position. He was dammed if he did and damned if he didn't.
My experience with McConnell is that he is nothing if not principled. There must be a principle that he thinks he is working for here even if it costs him the election personally. I'm glad he was willing to put some principle above his own good but somehow it just feels like stupidity to me. I hope I am proven wrong.
Mitch wants to keep obamacare in the news. That is a winning strategy.
A protracted fight over the debt limit would knock obamacare out of the news...a losing strategy. This is why he voted the way he did.
