Mitch McConnell Praises Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy, Makin' Deals with Democrats

Speaking at the Kennedy Institute, Mitch McConnell appealed to his actual constituency -- Beltway/Accela Corridor establishment liberals.

The Boston Globe reports, "Majority leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Kennedy was someone who could separate the personal from the political and who stayed true to his word. Those are characteristics that will help the body function better in the future, and there are already signs of progress, McConnell said."
"A real sense of renewal is taking hold in the Senate," said McConnell.

"A lot of folks like to joke about the odd couple that was Ted Kennedy and Orrin hosta," McConnell said, referring to the late Massachusetts Democrat and the Republican senator from Utah. "But I think Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama may have them outdone. I had to warn reporters not to faint last week before offering the president some praise on trade. I’m even getting handwritten notes from the president these days. He sent one the other day to thank me for supporting the nomination of Loretta Lynch."
"We've both chosen to put policy before party. That's how politics should be conducted, in my view," McConnell said Sunday.

Strangely, he didn't inform his voters about his take on "how politics should be conducted" when he conned them into voting for him.

Senators are just government workers like any other. They all are just bureaucrats, pulling federal checks and resenting their clientele for bothering them. They think they know better than the public they pretend to serve and do very little but scheme to ignore the public's wishes until they can start pulling their government pensions.

Off-Topic: But I expect this is what people will be talking about -- George Zimmerman shot through his car window in Florida.

I take this to be yet another assassination attempt or, I guess I should say, a "protest."

We did not elect you to send love letters to Obama and to "work together" and to be a cute "odd couple" you dicks. We elected you to stop the statist agenda in DC, which you PROMISED TO DO when you were asking for our votes and money.

As in, gave *us* your word. You like that Ted Kennedy kept his word with you? Yeah, we the voters -- the people you represent, allegedly -- would appreciate to get the same level of treatment that Ted Kennedy gave to you. At a minimum.

Instead we're getting the same treatment that Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd gave to waitresses.

64 It appears very strongly to me that the GOP leadership has decided that the future of the party is to flee conservatives and embrace the left, with small differences. To be the party of "sensible" people who get along and are all for bipartisanship, whereas the Democrats are so mean. Sure, they both end up the same but the GOP is the nice party.

we'll go on the Senate floor and make a big show out of "disagreeing" but really at the end of the day, we're all on the same team and fuck the voters.

This is one of the dumbest, most false and idiotic things I've ever heard. Its just wholly without historic fact and so utterly stupid and wrong everyone in the room must have looked at him with mouths open like he'd sprouted another head from his chin.

So ... they vote for Mitch because he's a Republican from Kentucky that gets money to help the state. They're the kind of people that might shoot an intruder, but won't question a cop.

In short ... Mostly serfs. Loyal to their Local Lord, if not the King.

191 It's one of the reasons I don't really want a senator become president. To much "collegiality". Too much of "not appropriate to say bad things about each other".

Listen to the radio interviews of each of the repub senators running for prez. When asked about how bad a particular repub senator (like the turtle) they always refuse comment. I beginning NOT to trust any of them.

Yeah, he has spent his whole life worrying about his "legacy" and the leftist media and left leaning legal community convinced him that he'd suffer in future esteem if he ruled properly. The guy is the worst kind of traitor: he knew he was doing wrong but did it anyway for personal gain.

Seriously, what difference would one more Democrat in congress make over having this turd in office? How would McConnell being defeated have changed a single thing for the worse?

Always, always, always vote against these scum, in primary and in general. Every time. No matter who they are up against. Until voters stop trying to be subtle and tricky and start bringing the hammer every time, they will never, ever listen. Why should they? They can do anything they want and rely on voters to "pick the lesser evil" and put them back in power, to do it more.
