“Leader” huh.

That's what McConnell insists on being called. The Republican senators are supposed to address him as "Leader".

Instead of "A$$hole"...

Candidates who can win, like GOP-e candidates Romney and Juan McLame?

Same old rhetoric.

Same old results — especially at the presidential level.

Meanwhile, in Kentucky.....the “tea party” candidate for Governor won a mere 5% Republican vote in a nasty and four-way divided primary, whereupon McConnell swooped in, and when the election was won by said “tea party” candidate (with 15% of registered Republicans voting, and 14% Democrats, apparently), McConnell swiftly made sure many of “his” people took top posts statewide.....yep, McConnell is anxious to control ‘tea party” elements....

No, no, no!

All of the candidates - Todd Akin, Sharon Angle, Christine O’Donnell, and Richard Mourdock all would have won had not the GOPe been bound and determined that they would lose. The GOPe just had to backstab them.

All of these candidates won their primaries and the GOP SHOULD HAVE SUPPORTED THEM!

Instead, the GOPe just could not abide the prospect having true Conservatives in the Senate.

Now, the very same voices that trashed Sharon, Todd, and Christine, are saying Donald Trump is not electable!

The GOPe must be destroyed.

Why do we need a GOP Congress that basically implements the Obama agenda?

We gave them the House and the Senate and they govern like Democrats.

I’m sorry I voted in 2010 for these creeps.

They don’t deserve to run this country. The GOP needs to die.

“Those states are going to decide who the next president is and those states are also going to decide whether we’re still in the majority

How dare he, just how dare he, after the more than a dozen ways theyve screwed conservatives, including just today!!!!!!!! MCConnell, I don't give a damn if every member of Congress was Republican like the lot of you there now, you'd be useless to me a conservative, so I have no reason to see that you remain in a position of power from which to wheel and deal and sell me and all conservatives down the river! I can't believe the unmitigated gall of this jerk, this utter jackazz!!!!!!!

I look forward to the day I can urinate on Mitch McConnell’s grave. There is no point in “winning” if winning means the same outcome as losing.

The budget squeal passed today is ample proof that we don’t need “Republicans” - not when they vote in a way that would make FDR proud.

You got that right, and then McConnell has the nerve to think that the first priority of conservatives would be to see that he and his type remain in the majority!!! After what they did just today!!!!!!

YES,YES,YES! I hate the GOPe with a passion, but I would not have voted for any of them and in this election there only two candidates I will vote for in the general election are either Trump or Cruz. These people were three sigma out on the looney side! You simply can’t make the kind of nonsensical statements that all four of them made and get elected with, or without Party support. Maybe in their little “right field” districts where they ran as state legislators, there were enough like-minded nutballs to get elected, but when they tried to appeal to an entire state, it was “no sale!” And it was a shame to loose the seats for which they ran, and shame on the Tea Party for putting them up for election!

What difference does electing Republicans who vote like Democrats make?
