“Mitch McConnell has an unusual admonition for the new Republican majority as it takes over the Senate this week: Don’t be ‘scary.’”...
Democrats are dubious of McConnell’s pledge to avert edge-of-the-cliff moments. They believe he will run into the same problems that have bedeviled House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during the past four years — including the inability to corral rabble-rousers such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to support an agenda that conservative critics will probably view as not bold enough in challenging Obama. Appeasing those far-right conservatives will lead to an agenda that Democrats hope to exploit in 2016.

Boner and McConman don’t want a conservative agenda.
They’re not going to say “NO” Obama. They feel more hogtied by members of the GOP who really take that small government nonsense seriously.
Make no mistake - this is the GOP establishment’s warning shot across the bow to conservatives.
Boehner is not the only one who needs to be reassigned....
That is a well known fact. Even the resident RINOs and their, "Obama thanks you", and "Hillary thanks you" Cadre on here knows that. They just won't admit it.
1010.....we got “extra credit” like in high school......
Were white though. Check your privilege man. Check your privilege.
We deserve and extra 50 because of our very birth ;)
It would have been better if Grimes had beat this bitter old fossil.
Tippy the Turtle and Code Orange are the definition of disappointment.
Hmmm... needs translating...
McConnell Pledges to Piss on the People Who Gave the GOP the Majority.
There... that reads more clearly now.
How about opposing the scary excesses of the socialist-communist-progressive Far Left who occupy the highest offices of the land?
We need to dump the entire Republican leadership. I don’t see that happening.
I can no longer hold my nose and support them as the lesser of two evils.
So... Time for a new party. Even if it means the Democrats “win” (no one could tell the difference anyway).
"Fool"???
I don't think so.
A 'fool' would imply someone who is easily beguiled and consciously ignorant of himself.
That McConnell stated that he would 'crush' Conservatives 'wherever they are found' and threaten to 'punch' us 'in the nose' - indicates deliberate and willful disdain an hatred of the very ideology that got him his position.
McConnell is not a 'fool' tricked into supporting the Marxist/Fascist transformation of the country. McConnell WANTS the transformation as long as he chairs his seat. In this, Obama and McConnell have a common enemy: us.
OK: )
I am convinced you are correct and stated so before the election.
I was however, pilloried for even suggesting it - but, the warnings given have borne out exactly as warned about.
Grimes would have been less damaging to Conservatives than McConnell will be.
Yup, but some people suck at chess. and math.
Sacrifice the top problem in the GOP Senate for a powerless moonbat that even liberals were skittish over. In doing so, you gut RINO dominance, throw the GOP into panic and add a barking moonbat to the enemy roster.
But no. Abject morons demanded we KEEP the biggest problem in the GOP senate, PREVENT a barking moonbat from further weakening the left and KEEP the ststus quo they so OBVIOUSLY love.
Better late than never I guess.
The GOP establishment’s idea of “scary excesses” is keeping their oaths.
Not according to those “conservatives” still slaving away in fantasy land on the GOP plantation, why we have to have all those Republicans regardless of their voting records and behavior. The apologist drones and sheep still believe all is well, all is well and McConnell/Boner are their saviors. They perpetuate the insanity and are just hoping to ride the tiger until they croak so they won’t have to witness what their saviors end up doing to the country.
“Don’t be ‘scary.’”...
Or as Rush says “That means shut Ted Cruz up”
