[Sir Napsalot]

Appearing on FoxNews' "Your World with Neil Cavuto" Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reiterated his support of the Tea Party movement. “Let me make it clear," McConnell told Cavuto. "I'm a big fan of the tea party movement. I think it's been extremely important in helping us regain the House and do well in the Senate in 2010."

McConnell had sparked controversy at the end of the November when he seemed to suggest on a conference call with donors that the Tea Party were "bullies" that he planned to "punch...in the nose."

"There is one particular organization that I was talking about, which I think has been counterproductive, but I think the movement in general has been very positive," McConnell said on Tuesday. The Senate Conservative Fund, which was originally founded by former Sen. Jim DeMint, has been aggressive in opposing McConnell in next year's primary.......

At least he’s nervous enough to throw the Tea Party a bone. That’s something.

"At least he’s nervous enough to throw the Tea Party a bone"

Somebody read the TEA leaves to him.

That's strange. Regarding title of referenced Breitbart article, I didn't know a person could be a big fan of the Tea Party and ignore the federal government's constitutionally limted powers at the same time.

And less than a month earlier at Breitbart, the following ...

Exclusive -- McConnell: Tea Party 'Bullies' Who Need Punch in Nose

Note between the two Breitbart articles how Breitbart manipulates photos of politicians.

“What’s he gonna say next? That he’s a severe fan? Especially of the Eric Clapner wing of the Tea Party?”

I would hope so, since Clapner wrote the Tea Party theme song.

Republicans will face intense pressure over unemployment benefits

[snip] The imminent expiration of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program for 1.3 million Americans is mostly being treated as a fait accompli in Washington... (Dems have created an interactive map showing how many people in each state stand to lose benefits.)... This strategy includes placing Op ed pieces by Democrats in papers that serve the districts of top Republicans, such as this one by Rep. Sander Levin in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the largest paper in John Boehner’s home state. The game plan is granular: One Democrat points out to me that stats are available on how many would lose benefits on the county level, and that Dems are trying to push these numbers into the coverage, because it is tangible for people in local communities.

Who exactly is going to buy this?

"I think it's been extremely important in helping us regain the House and do well in the Senate in 2010."

That's the money line, ain't it?

Sort of like when Arlen Sphincter said he changed to a democrat to get re-elected.

Here’s hoping his internal polling shows a disaster on election day.
