Re: Mitch McConnell's remarks today...
He said: "Americans can't afford a trillion dollar mistake, however well meaning the intent..."

Oh really.

What about the trillions spent on that immoral, illegal war in Iraq?

Money spent on job growth is so very important. Why can't these Republicans see that?

The hypocrisy just really makes me angry.

That is all...

1. The trillions on tax cuts for plutocrats and contracts for
GOP donors must be remembered.

5. I feel your anger but it's all so predictible
These are out of touch, corrupt, people paid to sing the song they sing. This guy is from Kentucky,
a state permanently disadvantaged by lousy politicians. McConnell is one of them.

But he's treated like a grandee by the other club members who all bow and curtsey for each other.

They are the 'hallow men" ...

7. I know you're right, my dear autorank...
The Senate is a club, and they do treat each other this way...

I am glad I can still feel outrage!

Maybe that means there's hope yet...

I haven't been crushed into oblivion...

15. He didn't piss and moan about handing Wall Street big bucks
Although with the second tarp he's claiming they need to cap exec pay, etc. Must have read through his polling data at the last minute.
