‘I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting,’ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said. ‘Most of us didn’t think that. What we did learn is this – it’s a hostage that’s worth ransoming.’ (Running in Red, Washington Post)

• How is this supposed to be good for the United States of America?
• How is this evidence that you are doing your job as a legislator?
• And, how can you be so emboldened to admit publicly that you collaborated with other Republican legislators to hold the United States hostage for your own political gain?

I don’t even want to write this, but seriously–this is language used by organizations who want to inflict the WORST POSSIBLE HARM on the United States of America.  Is this really what you want to do, Mitch McConnell?

I need to go puke, now.  This is disgusting . . . .

Dear Mitch McConnell,

You may think this is a game, and you may very well be proud of your actions, but as an American Citizen, I am not impressed. And, I am not alone . . . .

Your games of blocking the Government from accomplishing anything for no reason other than to assist you in your personal power-grab are very un-American. In this case, you are ruining one piece of legislation that has bi-partisan support and as an opportunist with your voracious appetite for power, you are willing to waste American tax dollars in the pursuit of your personal agenda.

Please leave the Food Safety Bill alone, and stop hurting America.

PS. I would not want to be written into the history books as an American legislator responsible for constipating the American Government, but your actions show that you are apparently happy with it.

Last week, Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R) from Kentucky attended a private meeting with Hedge Fund Managers and Wall Street elites in New York along with Senator John Cornyn (R) from Texas, according to Think Progress.  As soon as he stepped out of the meeting (figuratively), he returned to Washington and became a staunch critic of the Financial Reform Bill–which is largely designed to return regulatory control and other preventative measures to Wall Street.

Of course, Mitch McConnell takes massive amounts of money from Wall Street–more than any other sector.

So, today, the media raised a few questions for the old dog . . . about his loyalties–suggesting that it appears as if he were protecting the interests of Wall Street.  He defers the question by telling us how the Community Banks in Kentucky want it repealed–but, I am a bit skeptical.

No one saw him meeting with the Community Banks of Kentucky . . . .
