Good reason to dump him as Senate Republican leader. He is just a common scumbag politician.

This has nothing to do with the "tea party" ( translated - the majority of the American people). The American people know he is nothing more than a politician, like the rest of them. We particularly despise "Communist / Socialist / Marxist (translated - progressive, far left, liberal) politicians. GOP and Dems have been put on notice. Stop the political garbage, get down to business, shrink the federal government, stop the insane spending, and get back to the Constitution.

OK..so simplified, defined, translated that even ideologues can understand it.

Do you think Salon.com is as well? I think the fact he got caught is the story. Then again, who owns the paper is probably the bigger story. It certainly can be part of the story. Maybe not the main focus of the sory. Yes, I think the main focus is that the man is most definitely a politician. He lies.

ROFL.

They all lie.

Some are just smart enough not to get caught, and some get ratted out by ex-presidents.

The "local" paper is liberal. It is owned my McClatchy. The 2 local columnists both claim to be liberal. When they post editorials from other papers it is always from another liberal paper.

No story here.

It doesn't matter if the paper is Liberal or not. Either President Bush was lying in his book or Senator McConnell is a deceitful partisan hack who's top priority was winning the next election, even if it jeopardized the safety of the American people. He criticized Democrats for the same thing that he was advising the president to do behind closed doors. How underhanded is that?

No surprise that making President Obama a one term president is his number one priority. The winner take all, winning is everything, no matter how many people I have to step on to get to the top is rampant. I don't see why people continuously defend this behavior.

I disagree with your position that "It doesn't matter if the paper is Liberal or not".
The thread title is "Local newspaper" etc., insinuating that it is odd that his "local" paper" does not agree with him.

The local newspaper not agreeing is the story.
