Sen. Mitch McChinless' job is to be an obstructionist


The Republicans do not give "wit one" about America but only care about power.
Sen Mitch McConnell is proud of being an obstructionist and is all but dictating
what can get done in the Senate to the Democrats.

When will Reid and Pelosi learn these people are not to be trusted and take the
gloves off and kick some ass? And that includes impeachment ... make the Republicans
defend the indefensible ..... use the term "He is a Bush/Cheney Republican" in the
elections .... show how the repugs are keeping this unneeded war going.

WASHINGTON —Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, operates with near-robotic efficiency when it comes to negotiating budget figures in public, consistently refusing to answer questions that would ever commit him to a specific number at the bargaining table.

So it was more than a little telling when Mr. McConnell laid down his mark in the current budget fight on Tuesday, informing the Capitol Hill press corps that he was ready to offer Democrats a deal, $70 billion in war financing with no strings attached and a total budget identical to President Bush’s proposal.

In other words, the Republicans should get virtually everything they want. And he was not kidding.

1. Watch video of McConnell at the 2000 Inauguration
hamming to get in next to Bush...shameless self-promotion! That video can be used to peg McConnell to Bush in a commercial. I hope someone does it. I'll be glad to see this clown go!

3. Give him some private's privates
I have heard the rumor about him for years. And just recently it was found out he was thrown out of the service for feeling a private's privates. But nowhere does Flynt even hint at it. I know it would be too good to be true but has anybody else heard this.
