McConnell And Gingrich At CPAC: Dems Need To Stop Co-Opting Reagan
Jillian Rayfield | February 10, 2011, 2:03PM


Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Newt Gingrich took the stage at CPAC today, and both chastised Democrats for going around talking about how much they love Ronald Reagan.

McConnell described in his speech the "bizarre transformation" in Washington recently -- "Olbermann is out, and Reagan is in." He said that a lot of Democrats have been taking to the cable news channels lately, and you hear them "saying nice things about Ronald Reagan."

You know why they're doing it, McConnell continued. "They want you to forget what they've been up to the past two years." But, he said, "We will not let the people who have spent the last two years trying to turn this country into France walk away form their record."
:rofl:

McConnell warned CPAC that conservatives should never confuse what's popular with what's right and that as lawmakers, they didn't "sign an oath to uphold what is popular," they promised to "uphold the Constitution."

11. Tell ya what, my dear dimbulbs

You guys quit talking shit about MLK, and we'll quit telling the truth about Reagan. Quit trying to tell us how Dr. King would have been on the side of exploitative corporations and other oppressive power structures, and we'll just let Reagan's bones rest in peace as long as you do.

But if you insist on digging up Reagan's corpse for a re-run of the "good old days," we'll be right there to make sure the historical record remains accurate.

Until then, boys, how about a nice big steaming mug of shut the fuck up?

France spent so much funding the American Revolution they bankrupted their country and hence the French Revolution. In essence the king and queen lost their heads over our democracy.
