Voters have a golden opportunity to take down Mitch McConnell
« on: August 15, 2017, 05:55:44 pm »
When Cruz first came into the Senate, McConnell expected him to play his game and back incumbents instead of conservatives trying to get elected. Ted refused and they haven't gotten along since.  McConnell the Lying Turtle and all of his cronies need to go.  Drain that swamp!

Voters have a golden opportunity to take down Mitch McConnell

....Dissatisfaction with Congress remains at an all-time high among Republicans, with only 16 percent of Republican voters approving of the performance of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. It is not unreasonable to hazard a guess that the failure of Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to lead the GOP conference to passing President Trump’s agenda plays a part in that dissatisfaction.

Seven years is a remarkable amount of time to make constant promises, only to break them when it counted. That’s exactly what Republicans under McConnell’s leadership did with their campaign pledges to repeal Obamacare, all of which amounted to nothing. Yet McConnell continually backs candidates for the U.S. Senate who are hostile to conservative principles in the GOP......

Voters in Alabama have a unique opportunity to end this drought on Tuesday. McConnell’s establishment forces are going to the mat for incumbent Senator Luther Strange in the special election primary for Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former Senate seat. Despite millions of dollars flooded into the race in support of Strange by McConnell allies, Judge Roy Moore commands a ten-point lead over Strange in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup that seems ever more likely to come to pass.

But should Moore prevail, why stop there? Several GOP senators are running for re-election in 2018, and many of them are vulnerable to a primary challenge — particularly Sens. Dean Heller, R-Nev., Bob Corker, R-Tenn., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz...

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Anyone but him.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

It would certainly cast a pall on McConnell's influence if his candidate lost by a large margin in Alabama and I'm hoping that's exactly what happens.

That's the thing.  Not with a better looking McConnell (but then who isn't?).  But I'm reading that John Connelly is next in line and already asking to be considered.

We do not want that.

You meant John Cornyn, right?

Damn autocorrect... Cornyn wouldn't be any better.

Yeah, I meant Cornyn and he's almost as bad.
