stop watching Fox News mediamatters.org rollingstone.com Is there even one piece of legislation bearing Mitch McConnells name? is there any legislation the every day people of Kentucky can point to as bettering their lives that was initiated or supported by McConnell - despite re-electing him 4 times!? And so to sum up, over a career in the United States Senate spanning 26 years, Mitch McConnell has managed to achieve the following: play hard ball politics and be a first class a-hole;put party above country - way, way, way, way, way above country;get his wife a plum appointment as Secretary of Labor by Dubya; andenjoy a life of privilege and leisure, dining at the finest clubs and sitting his pampered ass on a fine leather chair all day long, expensive shoes up on his luxurious desk.And yet the Teapublicans have the gall to call the unemployed lazy. John Boehner is one of the worst Speakers of the House in United States history. Now, I don’t like using the phrase “worst ever” because we’ve had some really terrible politicians in our history—but he’s without a doubt one of the very worst. The approval rating for Congress can’t go much lower. If you haven’t heard, a poll was recently released that showed just 6% of Americans think Congress is doing an “excellent” or “good” job. Think about that for a moment—an approval rating of 6%! Toe fungus probably has a more favorable rating than Congress at this point. And at the forefront of this embarrassment we call our Congress is Speaker of the House John Boehner. Not only has Boehner failed to accomplish much of anything while he’s been in power, many within his own party don’t respect him. Even when he offered a “Plan B” deal to avoid the “Fiscal Cliff” earlier this year, he had to pull the legislation because he couldn’t get it to pass the Republican-controlled House. - See more at: forwardprogressives.com
