This was not expressing the desire to win the next Presidential election. This was making it a "priority" which translates into doing it at the expense of the very people that they were sent to Washington to represent and work for. Instead, for their own power grab, they blocked any bill that would have improved the economy.

Why are you excusing this? The audacity to blame Obama whio has been sabotaged by greedy pigs. If you are not raging mad about this, then you are every bit as small, vile and vicious as these reptiles that represent you.

Maybe they believe Mr. Obama's policies to be bad for the country, thus getting him out of office is good and supporting his direction is bad. It's really pretty simple if you take a moment to look beyond the surface level of the talking point.

Same assertion as getting rid of Bush would improve the Country in 2004 or any opposing political challenger. Is it really that hard to understand?

I read your link and failed to find any language like the bolded above in it so I guess you are really after McConnell. I don't like him but I know that what he said had little to do with the need of Harry Reid to keep us from having a budget the past 4 years. Of course, it was handier to just vote in some money to keep the can down the road year after year. Can you uphold Reid's failure to at least discuss a budget? I wonder that since you seem to think that McConnell is such a vile man for being against Obama.

You don't, by any chance, remember what kind of words came from the Senate Minority Leader in the days of Bush, do you? Reid was that man back then and through both terms of Bush he talked just like McConnell has. Yes, he wasn't talking about the Messiah, Barack Obamad, but he did every bit as much for 6 years to hold the Senate back as McConnell has.

I wonder if you could admit that your attitude is so nasty because the President right now isn't named Bush? I am glad to admit that politically removal of Obama has to be job number one for McConnell, but I don't see one bit more obstruction from him than from Reid during the Bush days. Ain't it something what time can do to partisan minds?

I wouldn't even classify this a nice try.

Funny how you show such outrage when your own article has a little more to add which puts his quote in context, ""But that is in 2012," he added. "Our biggest goal for this year is get this country straightened out and we can't get this country straightened out if we don't do something about spending, about deficit, about debt and get the economy moving again. So our goal is to have a robust vibrant economy to benefit all Americans."

Puts a whole different light on what he said, doesn't it?

Maybe we should apply this to you, ".unpatriotic, evil, mean spirited, selfish, sinister, diabolical statment that any American (representative of the people) could ever possibly make and not be accused and tried for treason.

I guess over 30 bills the House has passed that Ole Harry won't even let see the light of day isn't blocking bills.

If you are going to make claims, you should at least no some of the facts.

Wink Why does the right wing ignore what Mitch McConnell said?

Possibly because McConnell is a heinous criminal who will eventually be busted.


For impersonating a turtle.

McConnell: Stopping Obama's re-election still 'single most important' goal | Video Cafe
Dear stinkofnyc: McConnell's remark was none of those things. He was absolutely correct.

We have in Barack Obama a man who wormed his way into American politics by fraud and deceit. He is a Marxist revolutionary, and has been his entire life. His mother left his Indonesian step-father, Lolo Soetoro when he began to reject his Marxist/communist beliefs and embrace capitalism. Young Obama (Barry Soetoro) was mentored by writer and communist propagandist Frank Marshall Davis, who steeped him in communist ideology. This is where Obama's collectivist views were developed ("You didn't build that!" alludes to his collectivist belief that our success is not a result of our individual effort and that our achievements do not belong to us alone, but to the collective).

It's interesting to note that Valerie Jerrett's father-in-law worked at the Chicago Sun Times with Frank Marshall Davis. Valerie Jerrett is, of course, Obama's confidant and closest advisor. It is said that he doesn't do anything without consulting her first.

According to John Drew, a writer who met him at Occidental College in CA, Obama was a Marxist revolutionary who hoped to see the transformation of America to socialism, and was especially enthusiastic about Marxism. John Drew has since rejected and disavowed his radical youth, and is now a conservative writer.
Archived-Articles: Meeting Young Obama

This hope that Obama had as a radical Marxist youth is still his ambition today, which is what he meant when he said he would "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

Our goal should very definitely be the defeat and removal from office of Barack H. Obama. There is nothing more important than that in this election.

With Obama out of office, we can begin to rebuild our economy, get people back to work through the creation of jobs in the private sector, by a revitalized American spirit, and removing the shackles that have been placed on our job creators by the spectacle of ObamaCare and the numerous taxes and regulations it adds, hamstringing our private sector businesses. This we must do.

The $5 Trillion debt that Obama has chalked up in less than four years is inexcusable, and will be very hard to deal with, but deal with it we must. We have no choice. It must be reduced.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have the skills and the knowledge to set our path straight once again. That is why I support that ticket.

This Obama bus to disaster must be turned around!

You have forced me into doing a lot of reading about filibuster and its result, cloture. I think you may be able to understand this link and why Reid may get so mad that he makes the most serious mistake of his career concerning filibusters. Give it a try anyway and know that I have been in agreement with what Reid is said to have said in the last paragraph of the link. I do think that Reid miscounted when he said 50 and meant 51.

And you have avoided the links that Kibby posted above. Are we working with the old liberal double standard here again?
