McConnell: Obama intentionally sowing discord in Congress

By Josiah Ryan

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ky.) charged the White House from the Senate floor on Tuesday of engineering partisan strife in Congress in order to reap political gain.

“The political operators over at the White House seem to believe that they benefit from the appearance of gridlock,” said McConnell. “They’re over there telling any reporter who will listen that they plan to run against Congress next year….So that’s their explicit strategy — to make people believe that Congress can’t get anything done.”

McConnell said Obama continues to send over partisan legislation like his latest jobs legislation that he knows Republicans must oppose and then turns and claims there is gridlock.

“How do you make sure of it(gridlock)? By proposing legislation you know the other side won’t support,” said McConnell who also argued that Congress is not in fact not broken as many pundits are fond of saying.

There is nothing stooping them from putting America back to work except that single goal of defeating Obama.

5. Uh, exactly how many jobs bills have the Republicans put forward?

1,000 anti-abortion bills. Not ONE SINGLE JOBS BILL. Where are the jobs, Mr. McConnell. WTF are YOU doing to help you country (and no, defeating President Obama is not a strategy for helping the country).

21. The Politicians?

They're all dirty.
Getting most Puke politicians bounced out of their positions is a matter of exposure.
Find and illuminate the dirt. Their own idiot constituents will take it the rest of the way.
Flipping the Puke's seat is far more difficult.
They're supported by an incredible assortment of fools voting against their own interests. The fool problem is a much harder one.
Some are told by their preachers to vote puke.
Some others are driven to vote puke by a single issue. Many of these could be turned if that issue were to be taken from the pukes.
In my neighborhood it's firearms that drive otherwise rational voters into the Puke camp.
Take gun control from the Republicans and much of the countryside around me turns blue.
And finally the Democratic Party should deliver the goods.
If the party were to provide a few basic services to hard pressed voters in these troubled times those voters will remember it when the time comes.
Some of the expenditure currently supplied to right wing media companies for dubious advertising should instead power some food banks or other useful items.
And it should be done in such a way as to cast light on the callous indifference of Republican politicians toward the American people's collective misfortune.
