To incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), it is more important for Republicans to be the party of yes than go all-out to defund President Barack Obamas executive amnesty.
According to the New York Times, McConnell acknowledges that changing the mind-set of opposition in the next Congress will be crucial to advancing legislation that will attract Democratic support and force Obama into difficult choices over whether to sign measures pushed by his adversaries. The Times notes that is why his focus will be lawmakers he thinks he can meld into a governing coalition.
All of us from time to time make a point, Mr. McConnell told the outlet. But it is time now to make a difference.

We all saw several overly dedicated Freepers scream, holler, accuse and demand we reelect this POS and his clones.
there is no way one can be even an occasional visitor to FR and not have known what these people would do. Hell, they PROMISED to pass amnesty if elected.
There is one logical conclusion. Those people were and are GOP/liberal plants and should be treated as such by all of us. But I would also note that only a couple have been around lately. Apparently the smarter ones went back to GOP HQ and only the true idiots remain.
If we are so upset with him, and knew what he would do, why was he elected again?
If you the color of the horse and you want a change, why keep the same horse of the same color?
It's Cruz or bust.
Because few people ever even try living by their words, much less doing it.
McConnell has made his deal with Reid and the Sultan.I fear the Republicans have made their deal with McConnell.
I have no doubt that, despite an overwhelming message by the voters to the contrary, the lowlife GOP members of congress will re-elect 0bama butt-boys Boehner and McConnell.
The GOP will pay big time in 2016 for this double-cross.
McC is not an idiot. He is venal. He knows the source of his wealth and he is not going to endanger that.
<><> REPUBLICANS (NOT THE GOPE) WON A STUNNING ELECTORAL HISTORY...
<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals;
<><> Landrieu's loss means Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,
<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,
<><> Of 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican.
<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.
<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;
<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.
<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.
<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub
<><>GOP now controls the MINN State House.
<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)
<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D
<><> Britt Hume: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.
<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (per Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).
<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass. .
<><> GOP has every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Repubs hold 246 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman administration after World War II. An Arizona recount leaves one House race still outstanding.
<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.
<><> Arizona Republican McSally wins last open House seat after recount (Gaby Giffords seat)
<><> McSally's Arizona win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in the Arizona congressional delegation,
<><>Republican Congress holds largest House majority in 83 years....
The midterm annihilation of Dems were not black votes, they were not latino votes, they were not moderate voters......these were grassroots votes w/ a powerful message....."STOP OBAMA."
No, the GOP won and won big. They are in power doing what they will. We, as several of us warned of, are screwed.
But people demanded their lesser evils and now SURPRISE!!! It’s not lesser at all.
It is hell living a principled life, only those with courage and integrity can do it. McConnell is not one of them
Yes, I agree, he is utterly corrupt
No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. We are human and fallable.
But there is NO FREEPING EXCUSE for electing the very people that PROMISED to side with Democrats and pass amnesty. And thats one of many issues people compartmentalized so they could ‘feel good’ and pretend they were voting to save America.
In truth, they accelerated the fall.
Sorry, who are you again? I don't know you guys.
Is there anyone who was NOT WARNED in advance
that the EXEMPT GOP would be the GIVE.OBAMA.POWER party?
and that the EXEMPT GOP is wedded to ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE
... AND PROUD OF IT?
We tried to warn the McConnell supporters but they seem to have had a touch of hope and change in their veins...: )
Musta missed all those FReepers supporting McConnell. All I read was hoping he would lose the the Tea Party candidate.
ALL RINOs need to be challenged in the primaries. Get rid of these feckless losers. They need to GO across the aisle and come-out as the DIM Lites they are. No more politics as usual. Not one penny or one second of effort for these compromising losers. Screw’em. Have a Merry Christmas!
I'll drink to that.
