Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) brushed off complaints from his Party's conservative wing that his recent actions on the Cromnibus Bill served mainly to enable President Obama's illegal amnesty and fund all of his ill-conceived initiatives—including Obamacare—that Republicans had pledged to oppose if they won the November elections.
"Rather than get bogged down in fighting over every specific policy or program, we are going to rebrand the GOP as the Party of 'yes,'" McConnell said. "People don't like to hear the word 'no.' They prefer to get what they want. If we can communicate the message that Republicans are the ones who say 'yes' to what the people want we can solidify our Party's grip on the majority."
According to the new Majority Leader, "continuing to try to stave off amnesty or socialized medicine are lost causes. It is clear that regardless of what the law says, President Obama is going to allow immigrants to enter the country illegally. He is going to give them documents that will enable them to get jobs if they want them or to collect welfare if they don't. He is going to get them registered to vote and to the polls on election day. There is nothing we can do to stop this."
"But if we can persuade all these newcomers that the GOP can do a better job of giving them everything they want we will woo them over to our side and thwart the Democrats' plans for dominance," McConnell explained. "By saying yes to the trillion dollar continuing resolution even when we didn't have to, I think we earned crucial street cred with Latino voters. As we demonstrate to this cohort that we can give them everything that the President has promised we will eradicate any need for them to vote Democrat."

Not as much satire here as you might think.
The Party of: “Thank You Sir May I Have Another!”
And republican voters are going to experience even more BOHICA moments because the RINO leadership is going to be falling all over themselves to become “democrat lite”.

American Patriot Friends ...
We know Obama’s illegal amnesty is a dire threat to American’s constitutional republic; we’re amazed and shocked that virually no one in the GOP has the raw courage to check Obama’s excursion into tryanny.

Clearly, with the GOP’s pathetic political surrender (Boehner & McConnell) ...
... “We” must rise to stand DEFIANT against Obama’s pillaging of the U.S. Constitution.
A series of national (local) rallies is scheduled for Jan-3, 2015 (Saturday a week on 2015-01-03).
Can you take a moment out of a busy Christmas holiday season and help promote this crucial series of national rallies on 2015-01-03 ?
Momentum is building “nationally” for the rallies, and it’s already scheduled for at least one radio interview on Monday.
Go outside Facebook to engage your friends and local Tea Party folks to participate.
You’re encouraged to call into Mark Levin’s radio show, as well as Eric Erickson, Limbaugh, Mark Davis (etc) as well as your local conservative radio talk show hosts.
As Ronald Reagan said ... “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when No One’s interested in getting the credit.”
Who am I, this event’s organizer ? A simple Patriot, Aerospace Mechanical Engineer, who’s “clean” with absolutely “zero” arrests-changes, and a former U.S. top secret clearance.
As you’ll see below, I’m not asking for any $$$ financial donations. Ever.
Godspeed.

2015-01-03 National Rally Goals:
1) Speak DEFIANCE against Obama’s Illegal Amnesty !
2) FIRE Speaker John Boehner by encouraging House GOP to select Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as the next House Speaker.
3) Tell the GOPe-RINO gang (Juan McCain, Karl Rove, Reince Priebus, Jeb Bush) that we WILL NOT TOLERATE their pathetic political surrender to Obama’s clear agenda to DESTROY our AMERICAN REPUBLIC.
4) Express our Patriots’ DEFIANT OUTRAGE ... in the face of BITTER COLD WINTER, just as Generals Washington and Patton won GREAT victories at Trenton (Christmas 1776) and Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge, Christmas 1944).
On Saturday Jan. 3, 2015 ... we will ALL STAND DEFIANT in the BRAVE tradition of American Patriots before us ... our fathers and grandfathers ... at Valley Forge, Yorktown, the Battle of New Orleans, San Juan Hill, Belleau Wood, Midway, Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Battle of Ia Drang, and Battle of 73 Easting.
Share with ALL Patriot Friends and Tea Party groups ... WHY ?
Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy (et al) GREATLY appreciate our support ...
A great Patriot turn-out encourages the Senate and House GOP to FIRE the Machiavellian traitors John Boehner and Mitch McConnell ...

John, I kept looking for the “satire” part....did you forget to include it?
Ole Dub W sure dint have any problem saying yes to all of the Ted and Barney’s spending.
I had the same thought...
People in KY have been fooled twice, first with McC, then with “Rand”. There is no end to being fooled.
A Fool and his Country are soon parted!
GOP to Become Party of “YES”
************
GOP to Remain Party of Stupid.
Get ready for an avalanche of excuses from McConnell (e.g., "we didn't want to get bogged down", try to stave off, etc). Its the pathetic GOP that's the lost cause. It's a party without a soul.
I wouldn’t put it past Mitch McConnell to declare that the GOP is becoming the party of “Hope and Change”. Then, when it is pointed out to him that this is the president’s slogan, he would say, “We are just trying to reach across the aisle.”
They seem to believe they can win by being more liberal and unprincipled than the liberals.
Yes, John, you captured that well.
It’s real easy to become the “party of Yes.” Just insist, “YES, we WILL stop Obama.” And then do it.
Satire? I think not! :)
Thanks for the ping!
