LIPLESS MITCH: Democrats are extreme, outside the mainstream...not Teabaggers!


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/31/mitch-mcconnell-chuck-sch_n_843034.html

WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may have been frosty to the Tea Party before, but he's offering the irate anti-tax crowd a warm welcome today as they descend on the Capitol to demand steep budget cuts.

McConnell angered the anti-government movement last fall when he balked, initially, at Sen. Jim DeMint's (R-S.C.) push to ban earmarks. He eventually relented, but not before taking a beating from many in the Tea Party.

On Thursday, McConnell didn't make that mistake again. And for good measure, he tossed a few jabs at Democratic message maven Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who's been advising his colleagues to brand the GOP and Tea Party as "extreme" on the budget.

"Anybody who follows national politics knows that when it comes to a lot of the issues Americans care about most, Democrat leaders in Washington are pretty far outside the mainstream," McConnell said this morning in a Senate floor speech.

1. He is the ugliest, meanest, smarmiest son of a bitch ever.
And I notice he uses the sly "Democrat leaders". How about we call you "Repubic" McConnell, Mitch, in honor of all of the repuke sex scandals? Oh, and because you look like a pubic hair.

are all in hiding. Mitch has no idea where they went.

5. Well, lunatics love to hear that they're the normal ones.
It's what they tell themselves all the time.

6. Republicons don't need to be "branded" extreme, just look at all of their extreme actions
those alone dictate the brand of Extreme. People are just using a word that fits what the Republicons are trying to do. All of their actions are sick, disgusting, hateful, and Extreme. And as for Miss McConell, she couldn't tell the truth if her life depended on it.

7. Republican 101: "Accuse others of what you yourself are doing"
That explains most everything they say.

10. Typical Rethug, using the all-inclusive term "Americans" just like many of the rest of their
astro-turfed organizations, such as "Americans for Tax Reform, or Americans for Prosperity, ect...


Making it appear as if all red-blooded, patriotic Americans agree with them, and anyone who doesn't is a traitor, illegal alien or is anti-American.
