Republican Leader Mitch McConnell was bought for $2B (and God only knows what else)...

McConnell-Reid Deal Includes $2 Billion Earmark for Kentucky Project

wfpl.org

excerpt:

A proposal to end the government shutdown and avoid default orchestrated by Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic Leader Harry Reid includes a $2 billion earmark for a Kentucky project.

Language in a draft of the McConnell-Reid deal (see page 13, section 123) provided to WFPL News shows a provision that increases funding for the massive Olmsted Dam Lock in Louisville from $775 million to nearly $2. 9 billion.

The dam is considered an important project for the state and region in regards to water traffic along the Ohio River.

This is yet another reason why the United States is all fu¢ked up. The votes of politicians are routinely bought and paid for. McConnell participated in screwing over conservatives in exchange for a big earmark for his state and undoubtedly personal kickbacks to him.

Muslim Soetoro has plenty of RINO allies in Chief Justice Roberts, John Boehner, John McCain, and Mitch McConnell, just to name a few. -nfg-
