AP ^ | September 10, 2013

Posted on 09/10/2013 7:46:54 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

McConnell says the proposal is, quote, "utterly detached from a wider strategy to end the civil war" in Syria.

Bold move there Mitch seeing as how the whole question now seems to have been settled by our razor sharp SOS.

I had not heard of that RPaul endorsement of McConnell. I have wondered how enthused we’re suppose to be for McConnell’s replacement, given the Republican principle of “next-in-line”. Cantor or whatshisname who ran with Romney are no great comfort to conservatives or Libertarians I would think.

You think so? Obama seems to throw everyone except "his people" under the bus once they've served their purpose. I do think both sides of the political aisle would be very happy to see McCain, Graham, Boehner, etc take the blame.

McConnell was smart enough to hold back support. He and Rubio didn't follow McCain/Graham/Boehner's lead on this one.

I wish Boehner could be disgraced into stepping down as speaker after siding with Obama instead of the American people, making the job of defeating WWIII more difficult.

I was against the war before I was for it and I am still against it now.

Ok, so we know why he’s REALLY a ‘no’ vote ..... but at least it is a NO, which is better than Boehner and Cantor, the sniveling coward ‘yes’ votes in the House.

but he's so bad at his job that it's a wonder Democrats aren't deliberately trying to
undermine their own candidate in Kentucky to try to keep him in place in the Senate.

This time McConnell didn't merely join the parade after it has passed - he joined it
after the street sweepers have shown up to clean up all the donkey and elephant
poop left from the parade.

there has been speculation (on FR) that is what is happening; in our state KY...
Matt Bevin (his Tea Party Challenger), is somewhat short of $$$$; others have been taking up
some of the slack..Matt Bevin Is NOT lying down, Sen. Marbles McConnell, is runnin' Scared! :-)

Yes, but Boehner is wobbling. Post #19.

Seems now he’s firmly on the fence.

Thank you very much. I missed that somehow. And, I don’t get what the quid pro quo could be for Rand to decide to do that? Appreciate the link.

Boehner's really going to be crying when he discovers how badly he was played on this.

IMHO, every Senator and Congressman who announced their support for the President must realize they've been played.

Why would anyone trust Obama after this debacle? I'm happy that there won't be any imminent strikes on Syria, but Obama proved what a cluster foxtrot his foreign policy is.

Baraq must not have the votes and McConnell knows it.

It’s now safe for him to pretend to be a conservative.

They will ALL vote against it now because they have a ‘dispensation’ and are inured against blame by the Obama Administration because, at his behest (so they claim), a brokered diplomatic solution is at hand. War action is a moot point, and voting against war action in the face of overwhelming constituent sentiment against it is a no-brainer. What’s to lose?

It’s a done deal....they will vote no.

Considering, from his prior behavior, his “set” appears to be the size of bb’s, that’s probably why sitting on the fence isn’t all that uncomfortable for him.

Mitch is just like McStain and Hatchet, they are full boil conservatives every 6 yrs. then revert back into leftist pukes. You are done Snitch. I have voted for this turd since 1984, no more. I hope he takes Limp Spine Lamar from Tennessee with him as well!
