Rather let the NLRB fall apart, I'll bet anyone here dollars to doughnuts that ole turkey neck McConnell folds and lets Zero appoint someone new.

I've completely lost faith in the party of stupid.

By the way I did a search for this article...sorry if someone else already posted it.

This would be a major coup, I believe, if only turkey neck stands firm. What’s it worth to hang loose while Odumbo has to wait. This may be the most power the GOP has had.

The GOP should let the NLRB wither away. Unfortunately I’m certain that McConnell will fold like cheap tent. Has there ever been an issue where he held his ground and didn’t undermine conservatives?

As long as the GOP continues to operate in a Carteresque fashion, they will remain in the minority.

Americans like strength and commitment. They will rally around those who display these qualities. The current GOP establishment has neither.

They could do away with NLRB completely and no one would miss it.

While there is much that McConnell has done that is hard to understand, he is not a wimp. He has more backbone than any republican leader in recent times. I would love to see someone much stronger in his position but he is better than most in the Senate.

I don’t think failing to support the House in the debt ceiling debate, the payroll tax cut debate, and many others is strong leadership. It’s the typical go along to get along attitude that you typically see.

As far as him being better than most, I have to disagree there as well. See DeMint, Johnson, Paul, Toomey...
