So he wants Obama to go to the left, then.

This coming from the same guy that stated his number one goal was to make Obama a one term president?

Keep farking that chicken Mitch. There's just a few feathers left at this point.

"The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term,

Name ONE you didn't cause.

That's fine Mitch. This means you will also have to move to the center, you lettuce munching turtle bastard.

No, he can no longer run on that line- his efforts failed in his goal. Now he has a new goal: simply be an asshole poor loser. He can do that one indefinitely.

That infuriated me. John Cornyn's statement gave me a sliver of hope, though.

Minority leader.

Shouldn't Mitch admit that he failed to do the one most important thing on his agenda during the last four years, and resign in shame?
Or he could look at everything he has done in the last 30 years, and resign in shame. Either way.

Well... good news for Mitch... if he commits himself to preventing Obama from getting ANOTHER term he might just pull that off this time.

AdolfOliverPanties: That's fine Mitch. This means you will also have to move to the center, you lettuce munching turtle bastard.

From the same interview where he made the "one-term" comment.

NJ: What have you learned?
McConnell: After 1994, the public had the impression we Republicans overpromised and underdelivered. We suffered from some degree of hubris and acted as if the president was irrelevant and we would roll over him. By the summer of 1995, he was already on the way to being reelected, and we were hanging on for our lives.
NJ: What does this mean now?
McConnell: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us....." 

Too bad the guy doesn't respect history. He's found himself (and his party) hanging on for their lives... again.

naughtyrev: So he wants Obama to go to the left, then.

Yeah, this idea that Obama is some uber-liberal is laughable.

naughtyrev: So he wants Obama to go to the left, then.

Mitch McConnell, this is your Waterloo.

Also you're a turtle.

Nadie_AZ: No, he can no longer run on that line- his efforts failed in his goal. Now he has a new goal: simply be an asshole poor loser. He can do that one indefinitely.

Maybe not.

*fingers crossed*

I wonder if there are any rules changes that could be pushed through at the beginning of next term that might hinder the GOP obstruction efforts.

Voters seemed to have endorsed the living shiat out of Obama. When is this asshole's term up?

Mitch is a biatch.

What is the political centre on no tax increases for the rich versus tax increases on the rich? They signed a pledge not to move an inch towards the centre on this.

Obama ran on increasing taxes to the rich. That is something he couldn't have been farking clearer on. A majority of Americans support this in polling?

To me the Buffet rule was a fair compromise. Don't touch the tax rates, just close some of the ridiculous loopholes.

Get used to it. This is what we're going to get for the next 2-4 years. Obama is an extremist liberal and if only he'd compromise with the sensible, moderate Republicans we'd get America fixed in no time. It's his own fault, you see.

Obama 2.0

/this one doesn't care about his poll numbers

it's now been two elections in a row that you were prevented winning a majority thanks to your teabagger extremist friends, mitchy. you might want to tone down the rhetoric, mmmkay?

Obama campaigned on raising taxes on the rich and walked to reelection. Dems are already bending over.

Obama has a 52% approval rating. When Congress has an approval rating higher than Jerry Sandusky, they can ask Obama for permission to offer an opinion once and awhile.

mrshowrules: When Congress has an approval rating higher than Jerry Sandusky...
ouch!

Mitch McConnell's new goal is to ensure the Democrats are a two-term party.

The general consensus is that the economy is going to improve over the next four years, and if the GOP doesn't do everything in its power to make the 2nd Obama administration look ineffectual and extreme, then they will have to deal with 4-8 years of Hillary. Not only does that prospect scare the bejeezus out of them, but the older conservative Supreme Court justices just can't hold out for another 8-12 years.

You FAILED, McConnell. You failed in the single most important thing you said you wanted for four years.

Fall on your sword for you party and country.

Look, It's not MY fault I've been so obstructionist and unreasonable the last four years! If he'd only been more like me, I'd have been glad to work with him?

--and how would that have been, Senator?

More white!

mrshowrules: Obama 2.0



We can only hope he'll become the arm twister now. Really take them on.

After YOU, turtle man.

If Reid revamps the filibuster, MINORITY Leader McConnell would be a sitting duck.
