so you're saying that you're ineffectual and shouldn't be re-elected?

Hobodeluxe: so you're saying that you're ineffectual and shouldn't be re-elected?

He's talking about the GOP presidential candidates.
 
2012-01-31 09:48:00 AM
So to counter the claim that they did nothing, he's saying they did everything Obama asked?

I don't think he thought his cunning plan all the way through.

No, they're saying they are complicit in the destruction of America by the Kenyan usurper Hussein 0bama.

you have to admire the balls on this farking guy. to outright lie like that, when the evidence to the contrary is so overwhelming, is... just amazing.

Perhaps. He still needs to be held down and beaten severely, though.

Politifact uses some insanely twisted logic to find McConnell's demonstrably false statement as True in 3... 2... 1...

well, the media has to be "balanced." that means, when republicans tell a lie, the media have to report it as fact. if they don't, they get called "liberal" by fox news. this is the new normal.

Did you give him membership to the Turtle Club?
 
2012-01-31 11:10:03 AM
I don't see taxes being raised. He wanted taxes to increase on the top 1%, and during the debt ceiling and payroll tax fights, it was a small increase. Now he's called for an AMT, in effect, for the top 1%, quite a bit more.

Of course, facts have no effect on Republicans or the so-called "liberal" media, so this point will never be disputed.
 
2012-01-31 11:56:47 AM
Is he saying Obama is a masochist?
 
2012-01-31 12:05:12 PM
A second term?

So that's what Brewer was so mad about.

You're still alive, Yrtle, so no you didn't.
 
2012-01-31 01:38:35 PM
Hey Mitch, so was Boehner lying when he said "we got 98% of what we want", or are you lying right now? I have this feeling that you're both lying dickholes, actually.

Has he ever thought anything through?

"We are living in the Obama economy."

That's gonna come bite him in the ass if the economy continues to improve.

To be fair, his constituents are Kentuckians.

True, but not shocking. Cognitive dissonance is rampant within the GOP voter base.

I hope that a psycho cannibal meets Mitch for kinky gay sex and then gives McConnell drugs and then convinces him to slice up his face with a broken mirror and feed the flesh to his dogs.
 
2012-01-31 01:44:09 PM
I like where he admits that taxes weren't raised by the Dems. If they claim now that taxes were raised, algebra dictates that it was the Republicans who did it.

I was quite swayed by your link/citation provided.
 
2012-01-31 01:45:44 PM
Obama wanted a record number of cloture votes?
 
2012-01-31 01:46:24 PM
We are now less than ten years away from the GOP saying (literally) "No, night is day, and it's the sick, twisted, warped, pathetic, radical leftist agenda of the leftist left that prevents you people in the media from seeing that, so you go on the attack with your radical leftist 'day is when the sun is shining' narrative, but the American people are not fooled by that twisted, sick, warped rhetoric."
 
2012-01-31 01:46:43 PM
Just as I suspected. The more a person says they don't like it up the pooper, the more they actually like it up the pooper.

/not happy with Senator McConnell's shenanigans.

Mitch's turtle humor rarely translates well to human.

RandomExcess: Half True

Rachel Maddow did a great piece on Politifact. Summary: they fail at facts.
 
2012-01-31 01:50:45 PM
Will have to be judged partially true on politifact to avoid crying about the liberal media conspiracy.
 
2012-01-31 01:51:02 PM
Guys, give Mitch a break. He's actually not that bad, if you're into the whole pandering, partisan, rich, old, white, racist, Kentucky asshole thing.

1% true, according to Boehner.

Republicans got 99% of what they wanted, remember?

We gave Fartbongo everything he wanted!

Wait, no, not "everything"... The other word... What was it...

you had me until Kentucky. I suspect his following is broader than that

Shut up McConnell, you cock.

Republicans are lying sacks of shiat who rely on no one ever really calling them on it.
 
2012-01-31 02:01:38 PM
You lie!
 
2012-01-31 02:02:16 PM
FlashHarry: you have to admire the balls on this farking guy. to outright lie like that, when the evidence to the contrary is so overwhelming, is... just amazing.

This is a great example of how much you can get away with when your consituents get all of their information from Fox and AM radio. You'll begin hearing the phrases "Obama got everything he wanted" and "the Obama economy" at work in a day or two, once Rush has had time to chew them up and disgorge the resultant paste into the mouths of the retards who listen to him.

If you want to be difficult, be sure to ask your co-worker specifically what McConnell & Company gave to Obama. As in all these things, they're heavy on the buzzwords and light on actual content.
 
2012-01-31 02:02:20 PM
You lie!
 
2012-01-31 02:03:11 PM
McConnell is the perfect threadshiatter. He only pops his head up to lay one of these asinine one-liners on us every couple of months, long enough for his prior nugget of drooling buffoonery to have faded out of the news cycle. Just once I'd like to see this shiatbird forced to sit in front of a camera for 3 or 4 hours and attempt an exhaustive defense of these things he likes to poop out of his whore mouth.

Meh, I just he mean he was raised in Kentucky, and represents that state.

He's also one of the richest men in the Senate, has three children from his first marriage, and is now married to a Chinese woman.


/the more you know
 
2012-01-31 02:04:19 PM
If Obama is a dirty socialist... and Mitch gave him everything, then wouldn't that make Mitch a dirty socialist?
 
2012-01-31 02:05:25 PM
This isn't a new claim for McConnell, but it's audacious even by Washington's lax standards.

That's not audacious. That's a flat out lie that will be swallowed by an army of gullible dolts known as hannatized dittoheads.
 
2012-01-31 02:06:05 PM
This is the thing if Obama loses this election the politician lesson that will be learned, by both parties, is if you try to vote down everything and sabotage the government and economy you can win.

Does anyone think that if Obama loses Republicans a Democrats will go "Well being very partisan worked, so let's not do it again"? Of course not.

Recall, Politifact's lie of the year is the GOP wants to end Medicare as we know it. Turns out eliminating Medicare for people what, under 55 and giving them a voucher for private insurance is keeping Medicare as we know it in tact.
