In which case loyal American conservatives have no use for you. Mitch ought to seek other employment.

Agreed!

[Mamzelle]

So McConnell’ss the clay pigeon?

[Cedric]

You leap to embrace negative “facts not in evidence” but mindlessly ignore or reject the one fact proven today, relative to McConnell’s leadership in this matter. What a whiz!

Ping on over here to see more on Mitch the Magnificent:

And then tell me what you think.

That is, of course, if you actually do think...

[Cedric]

Or, to paraphrase Jim DeMint during today’s debate, “What part of 53-46 don’t you understand?”

[Czar]

"Or, to paraphrase Jim DeMint during today’s debate,..."

More generalities.

Facts, my boy, we must always have facts.

When you're in a hole, you may want to stop digging...

[Cedric]

Einstein, there’s nothing more factual than a specific vote count. Scoreboard, baby!

[Republican Wildcat]

“It wasn’t done by me, it was done by us,” Reid said, referring to the Republican leader.

Indeed, Harry, and you fell for it, hook, line, and sinker - and you get left holding the bag.

"Einstein, there’s nothing more factual than a specific vote count. Scoreboard, baby!"

By the way, did you check oout that link I gave you? Must have been real disappointing for a Mitcher...

Here's another shovel in case you want to dig yourself an even deeper hole.

Still waiting for those facts, dipstick.

** crickets **

[Cedric]

Better Check “oout” how to post a link, Webmaster!

[Czar]

Can't figure out how to paste it in? Figures...

Of course, that link has some rather bad news for you Mitchsters. So you will probably want to avoid it.

[Czar]

Nice attempt at deflection.

Still waiting for those supportable facts & figures...

** crickets **

[Cedric]

53-46

[nicmarlo]

That’s thanks to Sessions, Vitter, DeWine.

No thanks to Mute McConnell

[Czar]

Meaningless.

Still waiting...

** crickets **

[Czar]

Oh my...now you're going to get him all upset...

Dedicated Mitchster, you know (shhh...).

[nicmarlo]

oh well. Let the chips fall where they may. A leader is not mute, does not remain silent. That is why they are called LEADERS. They stand up and are counted for, especially on matters of grave importance to this country....something which SESSIONS, DEWINE, and VITTER have done.

Is Mitch McConnell shafting the base?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is one of the smartest conservatives in the Senate. But on the dangerous immigration bill, he has been silent as the grave. His website is conspicuously silent on immigration.

A wave of conservative outrage against a catastrophic immigration bill might put Fred Thompson at the head of the pack, and carry him into the nomination. It may even boost him into the Presidency in 2008. Senator Mitch McConnell may be allied with former Senator Bill Frist of Tennessee, who has been pushing the Thompson candidacy. Call it the Three Border State Senators, quietly singing the same song.

If the Kennedy-McCain bill is passed, McConnell may jump aboard the Thompson bandwagon. If it is defeated, he may finally come out against it. But what we are seeing today is a disastrous lack of leadership coming from the Senate Republican leaders.

The voters have a right to ask Senator Mitch McConnell where he stands. Is he risking our national security to promote Fred Thompson's [affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations] candidacy? That's a Machiavellian gambit, not a conservative one.

[Czar]

Care to grace us with your comments on this, dipstick?

“...Sessions, Vitter, DeWine...”

Shh, don’t tell Czar that DeWine isn’t in the Senate anymore.
