Mitch Mcconnel is on TV nationwide spewing endless republican bullshit....

as if he and the Baggers had paid for a half hour of wingnut propaganda!
First Harry Reid made a short and gracious speech without blame or gloat. Then Mitch stood up and railed against the ACA, tax increases for the wealthy and every other reichwing idea known to man!

And faces a primary challenge from his right. I would expect him to act like that in front of a camera. However, he did broker the deal, unlike Boehner.

they are also big fans of austerity. Look, I'm not saying the deal shouldn't be done, but the idea that continuing the government at Ryan budget levels and a "debt commission" aren't something of significance for republicans is incorrect.

And may very well lose his election next year. Turtle's got plenty of problems. Let him yammer on C-SPAN.

Class Vs. Boorish Republicon A-holery. No contest.

Republicon 'values' come right out of the cesspool. As they show now in their moment of UTTER, ABJECT and well-deserved defeat.

Republicons lose. America wins.
