1. Can't have it both ways, Mitch.

For Corporations to stay out of politics, then you need to STOP asking them for campaign donations.

What a HYPOCRITE Mitch McConnell is.

[wnylib]

18. Does he even think before he speaks?

I presume that he does, since he is such a calculating POS. Maybe he thought nobody had noticed his own corporate ties, at least none of the RWers. Or maybe he is just slipping up due to the frustration of getting knocked out of being Senate Majority Leader. Or due to his apparent physical decline.

Whatever the case, his statement is not just hypocritical. It is stupid and laughable.

no more lobbying yahoo!

4. McConnell was one of the loudest defenders of Citizens United.

You know, the ruling that opened the floodgates for political speech by corporations. He had no problem defending the right of corporations to get political about his opponents. That is really what this is all about. Republicans are a mile wide and an inch deep. They have no core values other than remaining in power to serve the wealthy and maintain the hierarchy of White Supremacy. That is it. They will say and do anything to maintain that, including foment insurrection. This is not unusual for McConnell. He has no shame. Most conservative politicians have no shame, which is why they can say things so seemingly hypocritical and take points directly contrary to points they took just a few years, or months, or days, or hours, or even minutes before. They want to hold on to power, that is their reason for existing. They care nothing about government of the people for the people because they disdain the people.

5. Someone said "Corporations are people".

Wasn't a Democrat. I also didn't hear Turtle McTurtleface disagree.

6. They spelled "KKK" wrong.

[rickyhall]

7. If they weren't, he'd be poor like the rest of us. I hope they cut him off.

14. Just saw McConnell on the tube

Stating how it's stupid for corporations to get involved in GA Law. I wish he could see me roll my eyes at him.

[malthaussen]

15. "Just give me the money and shut up." n/t

[Oldem]

16. Repugs have begun to eat their own. The next phase would be they start to eat themselves. A higer

form of being, right?

[malaise]

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

MoscowMitch is a total and complete fraud!

[Bristlecone]

19. "Stay out of politics." That is rich.

But I agree with him. Money and Corp. out of politics altogether.

[Bengus81]

20. Yawn...I'll say it again. Without HYPOCRISY there would be no Republican party

[PatrickforB]

21. Actually, Mitch, it ain't you calling the shots...it is the corporations. nt

[politruk]

22. We're never really going to fix the money-in-politics problem . . .

. . . until we have a SCOTUS in place that will reverse not only Citizens United but Buckley v. Valeo. A Court that will rule that money is not speech.

[czarjak]

23. Chickencheats have gotten away with it for so long...

They believe it’s an entitlement now?

[Generic Other]

24. The clip of him saying this sounded pathetic

I laughed so hard at his expense. "Boo Hooo" said Don Lemon.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. So brave of him to swear off corporate money, don't you think?

I take back any bad things I ever said about Mosc....I mean, Uncle Mitch. He's a prince.
