McConnell’s speech is an attempt to reframe the issue in a way that it can survive the utter absence of incriminating facts.

I stopped right there. I don't know what Mconnell thinks or is planning, but this author is dreaming little dreams of butterflies, unicorns and rainbows.

Ol’ Mitch is Obama’s bitch.”Come on, Mitch-y roll over! Good dog. Play dead, play dead! Good dog. That’s my Mitch.”

Pathetic.

The Obama junta is using the IRS to engage in voter suppsresion of TEA party conservatives & the GOPe is ready to surrender crying shame that the GOP is ready & even eager to give this nation to the advocates of slavery ,socialism & surrender.

Please stop believing what this far left wing fool writes about anything. He is a liar just like most liberals.

The GOP started out as a party Big Federal Government Liberal removing states rights. At one point the GOP briefly became conservative and has now returned to it's original roots. The GOP as a Conservative Party is dead.

Want Conservatism? Whig the GOP and start over. When a minority of the GOP in the senate are Conservatives it's over. The GOP houses are controlled and ran by cartel of blackmailed leadership for various acts.

Yes there are still some Conservative Republicans left in both houses. But their ranks are being thinned out by the GOP unelected controllers/owners.

I'm in awe at how @#$%^! stupid some FINOs are.

The "Disclose Act" is a proposed measure that would require unregulated political groups to publicly disclose their donors. Back when campaign finance reformers were trying to actually put limits on outside donations, McConnell was a fierce advocate of this idea. Since the Supreme Court killed spending limits, disclosure has become the best reformers can hope for, and McConnell has now turned against it and indeed portrays it as a sinister Nixonian attempt to suppress free speech. The belligerent and borderline-paranoid tone of McConnell's speech today is a kind of covered retreat...
