Claims that he single-handedly stopped Obama’s war on coal - and yet - you cannot find a SINGLE effort, piece of legislation or act from McConnell to restrain Obama’s EPA. Not one.

That's not true at all. He hasn't claimed the war on coal has stopped - quite the opposite. He has also sponsored legislation, blocked by Reid, to reign in the EPA regulations, and that has been a campaign theme.

Not a single meeting with Conservatives in the House to encourage them to defund the EPA or ObamaCare. None.

McConnell is a Senator - not a member of the House of Representatives. Regardless, he "didn't meet with members of the House" is a manufactured criticism.

Yet he claims he supported gutting ObamaCare “root and branch”.

Voting for complete repeal could be described as doing that.

He works to ensure a vote to enable Obama’s agenda passes - and then when it is clear it will pass, he votes NO.

I've no idea what this even means. You mean his voting to allow a vote on the bill to defund Obamacare?

McConnell is one vicious bastard when it comes to trashing Conservatives - but nary a terse word for Obama and his agenda outside of rhetoric to the base to get re-elected.

You haven't been paying much attention the last several years. "nary a terse word" LOL - yeah. You could argue it's all be rhetoric, but to say it hasn't been said and said often is completely false.

You are either lying or grossly misinformed. His radio ads run non-stop out here and they claim he "stopped Obama's war on coal" and the truth is he has not done a DAMNED THING to put a dent in it.

Regardless, he "didn't meet with members of the House" is a manufactured criticism.

If McConnell really wanted to stop "Obama's war on coal" he would have encouraged Boehner to let Ted Cruz and Mike Lee work to defund the EPA - which is a power the House has.

Yet he claims he supported gutting ObamaCare “root and branch”. Voting for complete repeal could be described as doing that.

How stupid do you think we are? That was nothing but political theatrics to placate Conservatives.

Here's some FRUITS of McConnell's complicity with ObamaCare:

September 27, 2013 - McConnell leads the effort to give Harry Reid Cloture to RESTORE funding for ObamaCare that the House Bill by Ted Cruz STRIPPED ObamaCare funding in the Budget bill.

McConnell led this procedural gimmick to enable a "clean continuing resolution" that fully funded ObamaCare to pass the upper chamber.

Root and branch eh????

McConnell is a slime. What he did in MS should be a reminder of how an Oligarch plays the game.

He did after all declare war on Conservatives not on his reservation and vowed to crush us wherever he found us, suggesting we wold not be able to field a single candidate against his Establishment.

McConnell is a worse enemy for the Conservative cause than Obama is.
