Turtle Man… What happened to this great GOP healthcare plan?
Where is this invisible plan?
The fact you think voting on the medical device tax is such a big thing shows the GOP has no plan what so ever than to just bitch bitch bitch and pass NOTHING at all to help the average american.
McConnell said. “I think Obamacare is the single worst piece of legislation passed in the last 50 years.”
Ah, not even close. The Bush/Cheney lie that you voted for that sent 4000 plus Americans to die in Iraq for NOTHING would be the worst piece of legislation in the last 50 years. Giving Darth Vader his wet dream to destroy the middle east.
Want proof. Take a look at the Middle East today. All because of you, Bush and Cheney.
This is McConnell’s standard MO. He begins to moderate on his past extremes that got him by for a few years and now wants to play the reasonable guy. He’s lost all the major battles and has nothing to show for all of his promises and yet, here he is again, making promises that he knows are bullshit, time killing covers.
Vote Grimes if you are tired of Washington politicians and vote Grimes if you are sick of being lied to.
Vote Grimes, for a better Kentucky because of a better Washington.
So according to McConnell the TeaParty has been absolutely right about the Establishment Republicans not caring about conservative causes.
Beats me why they continue to come to the aid of those like Roberts in KS when he and McConnell has made it perfectly clear that they only care about the outsourcing rights of foreign multinational Corporate Citizens and the filthy rich Americans who conspire as traitors with them against the US economy and middle class jobs.
Guns, God and abortion have never meant anything to the GOP other than as a wedge issue copy point that could be exploited among low information Dixiecrat voters.
Except for the judiciary I kind of agree. But I’d actually like to have them pass their whackadoodle bills - especially whatever crap the House cooks up and sends over, and have Obama veto them. A veto gives him a great platform to tell the country why he’s vetoing stripping the funding from Obamacare or not trying to d**k around working people by kicking the minimum for insurance up to 40 hours a week so places like Walmart can schedule people for 39 hours a week and screw them out of insurance, just to name a few.
We haven’t really had a President masterfully wield the veto pen since Gerald Ford - and that was an important turning point away from a liberal legislature that frankly had lost the plot. Sound familiar?
MickeyC is a master of politispeak. He could give a 100 of these interviews a day and never break a sweat, never lose a supporter.
What amazes me though is that the state that gave us Lincoln, Bluegrass, the Derby, Jim Beam, Daniel Boone, Muhammad Ali, etc. could elevate such a country club toady as a spokesperson.
Hey motherfucker, say hello to my little friend. His name is filibuster. You might recognize him.
That is right Mitch however you will continue to keep telling your brain dead zombie voters that if they vote for you, that you can and will repeal it.
Repeal & replace, repeal & replace…never mind. Just remember…“the Sheriff is neeeeeeer!”
Sahil -
McConnell’s given you fodder for a great follow-up – what the heck is “trying to restore the 40-hour work week?”
Now that is a dastardly populist spin applied by an anti-labor politician to an apparent plan to revise the definition of full-time work in the ACA to 40 hours per week from the present 30.
If McConnell and ilk really had their way, and spoke honestly about what they wish for this nation, would they really actually support public regulation of working conditions and hours?
Nope. But they’ll use the hopeful, soul-supporting language of the worker and non-exploitative employer (‘40-hour work week’) to wallpaper over plans to increase illness, suffering and death among constituents by eliminating access to new, competitive health care insurance markets and products. In the name of ‘freedom,’ of course.
Mitch McConnell: Bought. Paid For. Beholden.
