Mitch already has one down. Just one more year and he can turn the Senate back over to the Democrats without "breaking" anything for them.




Only April and he already gave up on 2015.

“Mitch McConnell is building the case that this Senate is much more productive than the last one.”

productive? what a farce, no one wants to see the government productive, unless it means rolling back government.

McConnell is getting all of Obama’s work done, he wants a pat on the back

Thank you for referencing that article nickcarraway. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Mitch McConnell is building the case that this Senate is much more productive than the last one."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Military issues aside, given the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, both the Senate and the House should arguably be spending as much time on the golf courses as lawless Obama does.

RINO McConnell is just another example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified, state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by ratifying that amendment.

He deserves it. McConnell does more for him than the Democrats.

“Here Lies Mitch McConnell”—he’s not waiting for that to be his epitaph. Nor old man Roberts, Cochran or Hatch.They lie whenever they get the chance.

Enacting bad law isn’t “getting things done” IMO. Personally, for the remainder of Obama’s term, all I want my elected representatives to do is override or deny whatever Obama wants, anyone he wants to help him or complete the further destruction of this country.

A simple committed contrarian NO attitude is all that I really expected.

The greatest danger to our liberties is when Congress is in session.

So Mitch's big plan is to win by steamrolling Conservatives and giving Obama everything he wants?

Let's see how well that works out for him and his corrupt minions....

The Kentucky Republican, who ascended to majority leader after repeatedly ripping the Democratic-led Senate as “dysfunctional,” has to show that the GOP can govern.

And, to the GOPe, "governing" means spending.

I think we may have been better off with Reid.

Es macht nichts.

So why did we put the Pubbies back in power? The cancer in DC is metastasizing. Anyone that's been there more than 5 years is officially part of the problem.

Agreed. In that situation there was at least some token opposition to the Obama agenda. Now it’s full speed ahead with McConnell leading the charge.

I think Mitch knows he'll be Minority Leader after the next election. He's paying off the Chamber of Commerce, and others who supported his ascendancy.

My congressman, Kenny Marchant, has an 80+ percent rating in Conservative Review. But I only see his face on milk cartons. He's worthless, and is a reliable vote for whenever Boehner comes calling.

Let's face it, with a couple of exceptions the Texas House delegation has been supremely disappointing.

For the sake of my children and grandson, DC needs to be blown up...figuratively.
