Pelosi has McConnell and the GOP on record unpatriotically lashing out at *voting* and *democracy*.

This newly energized Dem party is 🔥🔥.

McConnell said Democrats want “generous new benefits for federal bureaucrats and government employees” including Election Day holiday and up to six days of paid leave “for any federal bureaucrat who decides they’d like to hang out at the polls during an election.”

McConnell thinks those federal workers would use their time off to work to elect Democrats.
He also ripped federal matching funds for candidates, etc. in HR 1, which he calls “The Democratic Politician Protection Act”

This guy . . . can we please get him voted out of office so he and his neck can crawl back under the rock from whence he came. I know he represents a whole slew of guys just lke him, but I'd like log onto the news or Twitter and NOT see his face. That would be a start.

1. He doesn't like the idea because it would make it easier for working people to vote

and they might be Democrats.

[alwaysinasnit]

2. This guy seems to be a "Dracula" type as he can't look at himself in a mirror.

[bearsfootball516]

3. Sure, would be AWFUL if everybody could vote without having to schedule it around work...

[tavernier]

4. Power grab by Dems.

So???

Get used to it Mitch. You’re not the only party in DC anymore.

H.R. 1 is the far left’s sprawling effort to seize more control of the political process. It’s an attempt to rewrite the rules of American politics to benefit the Democrats and their friends.

7. Mitch says HR1 may pass the House but NOT the Senate.

6. A tweeter translates the idiot's rant:

“If people voted, we’d lose every time!”

20. spot on!!

[eShirl]

8. Mr. Powergrab says what?

[world wide wally]

9. Encouraging voting is rewriting the rules?

What country is he from?

21. The Land of the FarAway Turtles!

10. Liberal derangement syndrome.

These assholes hold more power than we do. Mitch can shove his conspiracy theories up his ass!

11. More Blatant Evidence Republicans Truly Do Not Believe in Democracy

Republicans are proud of their voter suppression.

[The Genealogist]

12. No, you chinless wonder. All the power grabbing is done by you are your fellow ghouls.

The Republicans work overtime to keep as many people who won't vote for them from accessing their right to vote. Purging voter from voter rolls, closing voting locations in areas with large numbers of minority voters, and using suspect voting machines are but three of he Republican dirty tricks in THEIR power grab. Making it easier for citizens to access a fundamental right is NOT a power grab.

13. Uummm...so Mitch

What have you and republicans doing since before Obama was elected?

[elleng]

14. 'Democrats and their friends,' right, the U.S. electorate!

[MyOwnPeace]

15. "the far left's sprawling effort to seize more control of the political process."

Says the ONE MAN that prevented PRESIDENT OBAMA from his constitutional right to nominate a candidate for the Supreme Court.

Says the ONE MAN that made it his mission to make PRESIDENT OBAMA a one-term president.

Is there anybody, ANYBODY that can tell me how that is NOT an abuse of power and controlling the political process?

[riversedge]

22. Mitch has no self awareness of what he says and how it applies to HIM!

[C_U_L8R]

16. Free open elections are unfair to Republicans

Just think about that.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. Moscow Mitch does not want to share power

McConnell prefers elections that can be bought and sold by Russian oligarchs like his old pal Deripaska.

18. Voting is one of the most patriotic things we can do ...

therefore it should be a federal holiday and it's wrong that it isn't.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

19. any and all responses to Mitch

should be "Merrick Garland"

[anarch]

23. so basically, letting people vote is contrary to the Russ-publican platform, eh?

well we knew that already.
