1. It is a distinct pleasure watching Mitch fall!

[lovemydog]

2. Hope he loses in the general election in the fall.

He's out of touch with his constituents.

[SummerSnow]

13. He's out of touch with humanity.

[C Moon]

17. The GOP is out of touch, I just wish it would show in these elections. I can't believe there are

that many rich voters in the US.

[lovemydog]

18. There aren't. There are a lot of ignorant racists though.

[C Moon]

19. +1000

3. both need to be destroyed. mitch + the teahadists.

4. I will be nice to see Turtle man go down, I keep thinking about........

this old bar saying.
"The later it gets, the drunker they fall down."

It seams like every time we get rid of one of these Teapublican fools they get replaced by some foaming at the mouth fully of their rocker, Koch owned Teaparty Virginian Brat type creatures.

One hopes this is not a trend.

7. Brat was a calculated risk for the Dems in district 7

The TP didn't oust Cantor on their own. I've spoken with many dem voters in VA's 7th and we waited in lines just like the TP.

Brat will he essentially the same as Cantor, however the senior seat is gone. Now, even if Brat still wins the general, the daily rantings of a madman on every nightly news channel won't come from us. Votes on legislation will change little if at all and Brat will have no real power.

On the positive side Brat is likely to see his win as a referendum to destroy democracy and social programs and campaign on it. Cantor didn't campaign locally on ending social programs very much. He focused on tax cuts which our stupid (I live here and have the right to call them that) thought would mean they actually pay less.

Brat finally gives a Dem a chance. 2012 cantor only won 58/42 when he was projected to get 75%+ of the vote in this severely jerrymandered district. I like dem chances here now.

8. I hope you are right. The thing is if you follow some RW forums..........

they just love "the daily rantings of a madman ". This appears to drag the GOP further and further into the cesspool of Koch tea.
It would be good to see a sane Republican, if such a thing ever existed.
IMHO, Nixon was the last sane Republican, and I still spit on the ground every time his name gets mentioned.

[obxhead]

9. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.

We might very well need to travel the full path of the teahadists before we can rid ourselves of them.

[A Simple Game]

11. Ford was a liberal compared to today's Republicans, I really think he meant well. n/t

[wandy]

14. Keep in mind, Ford was not elected. Ford was the quick fix.........

Or put another way the first available bandage to keep the country from bleeding to death.

I do agree, I also think he meant well. I sometimes wonder what direction he would have set us in under different conditions.
I hope that history shows that what ever Ford may or may not have been he was the right person for that time.

5. It's time to ditch Mitch

[Martin Eden]

6. Barabara Knott, et al, are worse than McConnell

Nothing to applaud here, except in the context of a Dem taking his seat.

[eggplant]

10. And that's enough to applaud all by itself. n/t

[Major Hogwash]

12. Mitch has been caught in the wind vane of his own design -- he doesn't know which way to blow!!

Promises to do this or do that -- which never came to fruition -- have been Mitch's trademark legacy in the Senate for many years.
His obstructionist attitude has backfired on him and the rest of the GOP Senators.

It's time for a new Senator from Kentucky, and Grimes has a really good chance of removing Mitch this fall.

It's still all about hope and change!

15. Brwawaaa.. when I saw that yesterday about the repub resigning from her post I

thought it was because mitch was such a liar and so bad for Kentucky.. turns out he's not enough of an idiot!

However, what was ol mitch thinking being si dismissive of those those sociopathic teabagger votes?!

[MADem]

16. John Oliver had that guy pegged!!!!! nt
