McConnell smacks down tea party groups: They mislead for profitBy Jane C. Timm at MSNBC

"SNIP...............................
Sen. Mitch McConnell is done playing nice.
McConnell smacked down the tea party in an interview with Wall Street Journal opinion writer Peggy Noonan published Thursday evening.
The Tea Party is made up of people who are angry and upset at government, the Senate minority leader said, but theyve been mislead by their leaders.
Theyve been told the reason we cant get to better outcomes than weve gotten is not because the Democrats control the Senate and the White House but because Republicans have been insufficiently feisty. Well, thats just not true, and I think that the folks that I have difficulty with are the leaders of some of these groups who basically mislead them for profit, he said.

(15,064 posts)1. Chinless McConnell needs to go away. I hope he is run out of office.
He has been an impediment to progressing American society and the economy.
