Sounds like the NYPD not acting on low-level crimes. If you keep showing us we can do without you, we just might start believing you!
One has to remember how old McConnell is. What Senator McConnell is still selling is trickle down economics and all the frauds that go with it. By golly, the economy for the richest 1% has indeed grown over the last 34 years. But not so much for everybody else. The trickle down part has never worked.
McConnell, of course, fails to note that when Democrats occupy the White House, the middle class either holds its position or improves.
When Republicans hold the White House, the middle class usually sags.
And these Republican clowns still want to undermine Social Security, Medicare and now the Affordable Care Act. Yes, Republicans can take credit for people getting filthy rich without doing much for the economy as a whole. If you have absolutely no talent but inherit lots of money, by all means go to the Republican Party. They’ll help you become a Cavalier, and just maybe you’ll have a fawning entourage like Rupert Murdoch.

The problem is millions of rubes, (read as FOX viewers), will believe the lying McConnell.
As I recall, Lehman Brothers fell before Obama was president. But your overall argument is sound.

Especially McConnell’s opponent.
A damnable, palpable lie, in the immortal stylings of another GOP criminal, John Mitchell. My stars! When will the Rethugs go on TV to tell us that the Sun rises in the West?? I’m already sick of McConnell, but now he’s really gone over the top. I am so not surprised.
No, no, you misunderstand. “Pro-growth”. Now that the economy is strong enough, we can cut taxes again. Just like we did when W has President. What a wonderful time that was!

You are correct. I was merely pointing out how Republicans like to give credit to themselves for everything good and blame everything bad on Democrats.
I remember someone trying to tell me around 2002 that the strong US economy of the mid to late 1990s was the result of things that Ronald Reagan did.

turtle head doesn’t know how to do it any different. Remember the guy all through school that peaked over your shoulder and did that sly eye thing so he could see the work you were doing? We all know that he was cheating. Copying others work because his brain wasn’t properly wired to learn anything. One thing he did accomplish was learning how to bullshit the other kids, the teachers and the principal as to why he would get passing grades and obviously never put any effort into it.
The moral of this comment is: he is really good at it after so many years of practice.
He can obviously bullshit the people of kentucky, not a big mountain to climb, the rest, not so much anymore. Time to show the country just what a kniving evil lying backstabbing piece of garbage he is.
Nothing personal, he just slides on BS way to much and gets away with it continously.
When he opens his mouth, shove his own foot into it everytime.

The Terrapin may want to take credit for the up tick in the economy but the data on the economy came in well before the election.

True, but those folks have been out of the Dems reach for a very long time now. The key is no longer about luring the types of voters who watch Fox News as they’ve voted themselves into irrelevance. What we must figure out how to do is how to turnout the voters like the ones who stayed in line in FL hours after the election was called, yet stayed home in 2014. Solving that problem practically solves all our problems, politically speaking.

It is difficult but not impossible for a turtle to get his head up his cloaca.
First Michelle Bachmann claims responsibility for the economic growth, NOW we have OLD MAN MCCONNELL TRYING TO TAKE THE CREDIT! OK, THEN WHY WON’T THE GOP TAKE CREDIT FOR THE ECONOMIC CRASH THAT WAS WORSE THAN THE GREAT DEPRESSION??? ASSHOLES! ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT BIG ASSHOLES!

That seems to be what some really believe. That’s the cognitive dissonance that Molly Ivins always said was endemic to Republicans.

Well, sure, but that’s no reason it couldn’t be his fault. Some Republicans also blame Obama for the poor response to Hurricane Katrina, and when that happened he was only a freshman Senator. He can time-travel, doncha know.

Well I know I felt a whole lot better with Yertle McTurtle in charge.
The only thing Mitch gets credit for is obstructing progress which ultimately has hurt the American people. I can’t think of anyone more selfish and more unAmerican than Mitch. He makes sport of people’s lives.

McConnell likes the way the country was going before Republicans were elected. So, stick with proven Democratic programs. In fact, according to Republican business philosophy, this would be the time to institute President Obama’s complete economic plan.
McConnell would love that.
I got news for the hard shelled one, the turnaround started in 2009 and has been going in the right direction ever since. Despite the intentional ass dragging of the collective lard ass, known as the Republican Party.
