It's amazing what a difference 20 years (and $300 000 000 from Charles Koch) can make, isn't it?

Mitch in 1987, whining about 'abuse' of 501c4 status by 'left' groups. The truth is, of course, that any group that actually PROMOTES SOCIAL WELFARE is, by definition, a LEFT GROUP. So...when 501c4 groups were actually DOING what 501c4 groups were SUPPOSED to do, Mitch was against it. Now that they're doing what they were never intended to do (engage in 100% partisan, political campaigns), he likes them. The man of rubber strikes again.

1. still looks like a turtle

jut younger.

5. Yes he does. But not just ANY turtle. McConnell is a PENINSULA COOTER

14. He is not as waxy as now, almost human like!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

2. Honestly, I didn't recognize him

He hasn't aged well, even for a turtle.

6. I'm pretty sure he got into a TELEPOD with a turtle, like Jeff Goldblum in THE FLY

and it took him a few years for the metamorphosis to complete itself.

3. K&R

Mitch is NOT allowed back in the neighborhood....

7. Hah!

I guess that's why he's so hellbent on staying in the Senate. The REAL swamp doesn't want his sorry ass back again.

4. I once thought the Republiocans

could never find a more unctuous senate hypocrite than Orrin Hatch. I was wrong.

[TrollBuster9090]

8. Although, Orrin Hatch has some turtle-like qualities, too. nt

9. WOW! $300 MILLION? I do know about this stuff, but that figure is f-ing SHOCKING!!!

[TrollBuster9090]

10. Well, I was referring specifically to Karl Rove's CROSSROADS GPS that raised nearly $300 million

mostly from two or three people. We don't know for sure it came from the Koch brothers, or Adleson (another likely donor) because under 501c4 "CHARITY" status, they are not required to disclose their donors.

11. Thanks for the clarification. Still a stunning figure!

[TrollBuster9090]

12. You're welcome! And yes, it's a ridiculous amount of money. Thank you Citizens United

The only bright spot in the whole sordid affair was that Rove somehow managed to spend all that money in a couple of dozen swing ridings, and only managed to elect two people (or something like that). I think the Koch brothers got a return on investment of something like 1%. No wonder he was in such a flap on election night. He knew he was going to get called on the carpet for blowing all that money.

13. Don't know about the turtle thing...

But his head looks huge. Like a size 14 foot crammed in a size 9 pump.
I see his stupidity is the same. I had thought that he might have suffered a concussion, I see his ideas were carefully cultivated instead.

[demwing]

15. Holy Crap, he had a CHIN!

When did he get the chin-ectomy (or was it just a slow Turtle-ization)?

[They_Live]

16. well, 26 years...

...but who's counting?


Thanks for posting this.
