The ringleader of GOP Failure Theater is accessory to mass infanticide and must be purged from office
Let me prefix my next few sentences by pointing out: I am not the executive editor of Redstate and I cannot unilaterally set or change policy for this site. So what I write here is simply my own personal opinion and not necessarily that of this station or its leadership.
After today’s latest episode of McConnell-sponsored GOP Failure Theater, there is only one conclusion to draw: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 58% must never be re-elected to office. I do not care if it’s a primary, where we most certainly must not support him, or the general election. I will donate to his opponent, no matter whether the primary or the general. I would rather see a pro-death, anti-gun, zombie-infected, flamboyant cross-dressing, virgin-eating cannibal elected before I see that man ever win another election…for U.S. Senate or any other office. I will do anything and everything in my power to see him out of Senate leadership and in 5.5 years, out of office completely. This is my life’s mission – to see him defeated.
I know that Erick stuck with our site’s stated policy after McConnell won the primary and supported McConnell in the general. That’s his prerogative. I understand the theory – a GOP officeholder is virtually always better than the alternative. In this case, it is not true (and wasn’t true before, but that’s water under the bridge). Even if McConnell is the deciding vote in a GOP Senate, I don’t care. The GOP Senate has done us zero favors since January, and there is no obvious sign that will change.
Now McConnell may swoop in and try to un-do the damage he’s done and attach a defunding rider to a forthcoming bill and perhaps even participate in a Senate shutdown if need be. If he is successful and reverses his current course towards being an accomplice in the murder of millions of the unborn, perhaps I will change my mind. But this “man” has done more damage to the conservative cause in his leadership position in the Senate than dozens of Democrats could have done from the other side.
By the way, let me point out that I am not the only contributing editor who has supported this particular tactic. Both streiff and Joe have long been on the Ditch Mitch train as well. But the recent events with Planned Parenthood funding should place McConnell squarely at the top of the Conservative Public Enemy list…even above most/all Democrats.
Kentuckians, you should be ashamed of what you have wrought on this nation. And to you Republican Senators who voted to retain McConnell as Majority Leader – you are shameful for supporting this execrable individual. Start worrying about pulling this nation out of the grasp of the Left and stop worrying about your precious committee assignments and your funding. Do what you were elected to do: LEAD this nation out of the disaster wrought by Barack Obama and his cohorts. You haven’t been doing this, and blood of the aborted unborn is partially on your hands as well. You enabled McConnell to pull these stunts. And spare me the whining about Obama’s veto – it is YOUR job to take advantage of procedures such as riders on existing bills. If you weren’t going to do anything, why did we bother to put you in the majority?
McConnell must go. And I will do everything I can with my access to this bloggy pulpit and with my wallet that I can to help him out the door. No matter what phase of the election season, I will be at the front of the line to get rid of this sorry excuse of a Senator
Let’s do it!
Already have!! And said we should have just sent Grimes up there, for all the good he has done!
Funny thing is, on this vote, he could have voted with the losing side, and filed another cloture motion - if he wanted to force the issue, which it appears he doesn’t. Or, vote with the losing side and explain that a failed cloture motion doesn’t kill the bill. Absent cloture, the bill remains alive under “unlimited debate” regular order.
Much appreciated.
Under the circumstances it would seem evident that the bill is not buried.
Certainly not for procedural reasons, and even if it was, that doesn't prevent a proponent from attempting to attach the measure (as an amendment) to every bill that comes along.
All sucking on the federal tit or Party boy pukes.
Totally agree. He is a bastard of the lowest order.
This dirty bastard saved Obamacare and killed any effort to stop illegal invasions by alien foreigners. This is just one more action by slimy piece of duplicitous protoplasm who pandres to anyone with a big enough campaign contribution. He has money comming out of his rectum and I don’t think he got it honestly. Check this lowlife out on OpenSecrets.com.
He is unfit to soil the bottom of a toilette bowl.
I have been thinking that Mitch McConnell may be bought and paid for by the Unions, especially by coal interests.
He saying that it is Mitch McConnells fault that the GOP is facing a Trump candidacy.

Interesting because Red State was banning Trump supporters when I had a peak over there a few weeks ago. Red State is establishment “conservative”, IMO. Birds of a feather...
The writer addresses that and says that the editor of Red State probably doesn’t agree with him, but he doesn’t care.
He didn’t vote against the bill to defund Planned Parenthood. The Rats voted against cloture so the bill was never voted on. As is often the case the real vote is the cloture vote. O would have vetoed this anyway, it was all theater. Attaching a defund amendment to real must pass bill is the only viable means of defunding PP.
After the 2016 election there will be an opportunity to elect a new Republican leader in the Senate. And a new speaker in the House.
I think McConnell voted against it because Obammy has dirt on him and promised to release it. This guy does whatever Obammy tells him to do. He needs to be recalled.
"As to removal by recall, the United States Constitution does not provide for nor authorize the recall of United States officers such as Senators, Representatives, or the President or Vice President, and thus no Member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States. The recall of Members was considered during the time of the drafting of the federal Constitution in 1787, but no such provisions were included in the final version sent to the states for ratification, and the specific drafting and ratifying debates indicate an express understanding of the framers and ratifiers that no right or power to recall a Senator or Representative in Congress exists under the Constitution."
I think dingy harry reid ultimately voted against the latest edition of the AWB when it was attempted to ram through congress in the wake of newtown, when harry was still majority leader.
he voted against it, due to protocol, so that he could bring it up again at some point.
that did not happen, of course, but it is possible that yertl did the same thing here. dont know that, for sure, but it is not unheard of.
that said, yertl is still a backstabbing RINO commie, regardless of this situation
Both he and Boehner and the long term Reps. and Senators from both parties are completely owned by special interests and corrupt to the marrow of their bones.
What else is he going to do?
