In reply to the discussion: Pic of the week - McConnell with arms folded pout as McCain votes NO. [View all]WinstonSmith4740
(3,056 posts)But I totally agree with your premise. I think McConnell was trying to intimidate him when he was voting. And in classic, Republican hypocrisy, McConnell (who maneuvered himself out the RESERVES during Viet Nam after 4 months http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-rogers/what-is-mitch-mcconnell-h_b_137083.html), thought he could intimidate and bully a man who spent 5 years as a prisoner of war.
That whole party has descended in a morass of bullying, lying, and fealty to the wealthy. Unless and until the decent, THINKING Republicans (I've got more than one in my family) get control of their party again, it's going to continue to spiral down until it crashes. Which will not be a bad thing. This current incarnation of the Republican Party needs to be crushed. They're nothing but Nazis who smile.
