Mitch McConnell has an unusual admonition for the new Republican majority as it takes over the Senate this week: Don’t be “scary.”
The incoming Senate majority leader has set a political goal for the next two years of overseeing a functioning, reasonable majority on Capitol Hill that scores some measured conservative wins, particularly against environmental regulations, but probably not big victories such as a full repeal of the health-care law. McConnell’s priority is to set the stage for a potential GOP presidential victory in 2016.
“I don’t want the American people to think that if they add a Republican president to a Republican Congress, that’s going to be a scary outcome. I want the American people to be comfortable with the fact that the Republican House and Senate is a responsible, right-of-center, governing majority,” the Kentucky Republican said in a broad interview just before Christmas in his Capitol office.
It’s a far cry from his defiant declaration in 2010 that his “single most important” goal was to make President Obama a one-term president, an antagonizing oath that Democrats frequently invoke to embarrass the GOP leader — Obama won reelection comfortably in 2012, and McConnell’s party lost seats.....

The GOP should work at bringing back American jobs.
Big time.
We have been shedding jobs for one entire generation. Time to change America’s efforts, to re-building our very own industrial base.
Yeah, but what happened in 2014?
Yertle McTurd-le has got to go.
You know? I feel like a farmer whose chickens have been repeatedly eviscerated every night in their coops who’s been wondering why the farm dogs (Boehner and McConnell) haven’t been able to bark and warn me, much less confront, the coyote that’s been eating them.
Turns out the coyote has been dragging out a dead carcass to give them and then they all circle around and sniff each others’ butts for a while and go on off to do it again the next night.
IMO, the smart thing to do (which means it probably won’t happen, ha ha) is to
1) Pass POPULAR reforms that go against Obamugabe’s policies and agenda.
2) As critical as the first step is to blanket the media with the news of these reforms—bringing in people of all races, ages, socioeconomic level—and talking about how they are needed.
3) Repeat over and over.
This makes Obamugabe and his veto pen the enemy of America, just like Obamugabe and his Democrat Senate were the enemy of America for the past six years.
He’s not a turtle.
He’s a pussy.
So when can this vapid post turtle be legally challenged for majority leader
But why should we announce to the WH ding-a-ling what we
plan to do? The dingo's shaking in his boots, as it is....facing
a country turned bright red w/ rejection.
==================================================
I see it as playing kids' fun game of skill..."Operation". Picking progressive trash policies apart bit by pit----piece by piece. The losers
will never knowing where we'll strike next........ ROTFLOL.
This whould be more accurate photoshopped w/ Obaba's pic.
Awww. How nice. Yertle has become one of the Care Bears.
Ignore anything printed in the WP.
” McConnell’s priority is to set the stage for a potential GOP presidential victory in 2016. “
N O it isn’t! Your job is to STOP Obama, you crook!
Bringing jobs back will require reducing corporate tax from highest in the industrial world down to no higher than mid-range.
Socialists and democrats will have a cow if they did that.
Well Mitch, you scare the CRAP out of me with your RINO BS.
The “Dump Boehner” movement is picking up steam. Let’s do the same for McConnell.
