Yep. We just HAD to vote for this. Because Harry Reid doing exactly the same thing would have been so much worse.
I always wondered how the Germans allowed things to go so wrong in the 30’s. I have an idea now.
McConnell is NOT on my side, and never has been.

Tell me again...who was it that won the election?
Worthy of the chinless, balless majority leader.
Mitch McConnell: "The tax collector for the welfare state."
Remeber when they said they could do nothing because they didn’t win the Senate. See, the new excuse is they can’t do anything because they don’t have the WH.
And they can’t touch Obama because they might not win in 2016 if they do anything.
Gawd what a bunch of dirtbags.
The Republicans have made it very clear that they are only too happy to pass the Obama agenda if they win the Senate. So that will just give the Obama administration BI-PARTISAN COVER for the next two years leading up to the 2016 presidential elections.
Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.
You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:
The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.
John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me
Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate
Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.
The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.
Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.
It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.
How many ways that that spineless turtle say surrender?
I’m not interested in funding this lawless dictatorship, Mitch.
Not even a little bit interested.
I don’t think any of you deserve any money or any power any more.
I’d be highly surprised if this senile EUNUCH is Majority Leader 6 months from now.
He absolutely SUCKS, he will be forced to step down.
Senators representing the Right Wing will not be mocked.
The left has stolen a good number of words from the dictionary, and 'progress' is one of them. The word itself, to advance, to make headway, and so on, is fine. But, the word is essentially ruined. When I hear it, and some others, it's like screeching chalk on the blackboard. "Forward" is another... anybody that says they want to move "forward" IMHO are suspect.
I thought we WON two weeks ago.
Your goal is to bend over and take it without lube.
I’m shocked. A GOP “Leader” adopting the “fight lying on your back with your tail between your legs” strategy. I never would have suspected.
Sarcasm turned off.
I am shocked! SHOCKED! A stinking Senator has gone back to business as usual! I do see it as an improvement over Dingy Harry (If only because it's a good sign the American people, at least, get it!). Mark Levine is right. Time to do an end run around these turkeys!
Once again, to the GOPe, it’s NEVER the right time to fight for anything.
Attention Republicans- this is why some Conservatives won’t bother voting Republican.
So Republicans, attack Conservatives all you want when Republicans like Mcconnell talk like this its the Republicans fault when Conservatives stay home.
Yertle the turd-le should be retired.
