I am no fan of McConnell. He represents the corporatists and statists which have removed the conservative element from the GOP. However, even when someone I don't care for speaks the truth, they are speaking the truth. That deserves to be acknowledged.
From CNN-McConnell: I'm 'disappointed' in Obama's lack of bipartisanship,
CNN-“I must say I'm disappointed,” Senate Minority Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “After two months, the president has not governed in the middle as I had hoped he would. But it's not too late. He's only been in office a couple of months. Still before him are the opportunities to deal with us on a truly bipartisan basis,” the Republican told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King
McConnell also criticized the president’s $3.6 trillion budget and the ambitious agenda on education, energy, and health care which the budget seeks to implement.
“Republicans are very much in favor of dealing with [the country’s economic crisis],” McConnell said. “What we're not in favor of is going on this spending spree over the next five to 10 years and sending the bill to our grandchildren.”
Obama’s administration “is going to be the furthest to the left of any government . . . certainly in my lifetime,” McConnell also told King. “I’m not sure that’s what people voted for. I mean they were angry with President Bush. They were not happy with the economy…. Whether they intended to see America kind of turned into a Western European country as a result of an explosion of spending and debt and regulation is another matter.”
Of course, when you have the not-so-new, nutty, iconoclast memes washing up on the beaches, like a half-diseased rotting carcass, you might wonder why there is no reasonable discourse. Need an example?
From Fire Dog Lake-Mitch McConnell: Obama is Turning America into France,
FDL-It's not Glenn Beck saying this. It's the Senate Minority Leader.
“I’m not sure that’s what people voted for. I mean they were angry with President Bush. They were not happy with the economy…. Whether they intended to see America kind of turned into a Western European country as a result of an explosion of spending and debt and regulation is another matter.”
Since 64% of the country currently approves of President Obama, I would say that either (a) two-thirds of the country equates the Economic Recovery bill and increasing the upper tax margin by 4% to socialism; or (b) Mitch McConnell is an idiot who shouldn't be taken seriouslyabout anything.
“Republicans are very much in favor of dealing with [the country’s economic crisis],” McConnell said. “What we're not in favor of is going on this spending spree over the next five to 10 years and sending the bill to our grandchildren.”
That's true. They were only willing to do so under George W. Bush.
So America, if you don't agree you are either a basement dwelling survivalist or an idiot. Where do you fit in?
As far as the the 64% of Americans having a love affair with the President, why not try some of the more accurate polling being done around the country? It shows quite a different landscape than the wonderland these sheltered and dupable liberals live in.
