Another day another Mitch McConnell hypocrisy or flat-out lie whichever you choose to call it. His obsession to in this case not balance the budget on the backs of working Americans while redistributing our nation's wealth from those who work for it to himself and his ilk knows no limits. Today, he and Charles Grassley offered an amendment to stop the "largest tax increase in American history" but actually it hypocritically promises two things. Not only slashing programs working Americans depend on, but an even larger tax increase because of a huge funding gap. Of course in the world of Mitch McConnell tax increases do not count if you increase them on working Americans. They only count if you increase them on rich Americans like himself.

One thing we have gotten quite used to around these parts. If Mitch McConnell opposes something you can be sure that it would help Americans as a whole. Also, if Mitch McConnell supports something you know it will be more of the same failed policies that have destroyed millions of lives and livelihoods in our country. It is no big surprise. After being in Washington to spearhead the redistribution of wealth from the working-class to the very few for decades Mitch McConnell has stood in opposition to anything that helps America as a whole because that would mean sacrifice from himself and the very few of his ilk he truly represents. Now once again in the budget arguments Mitch McConnell is clearly using his familiar hypocrisy in fighting to continue destroying our economy.

It appears as if the Republican "numbers cruncher" Paul Ryan is at it again. Fresh off an election in which his last budget and the numbers therein were widely vetted and rejected you would think he would have learned his lesson. That Americans simply do not want the kind of Austerity at all costs he and his Republican ilk subscribe to. However, far from learning his lesson Paul Ryan and his fellow Republicans are doubling down with an even more extreme, heartless version of the "Ryan Roadmap"

Unfortunately in Kentucky we can take credit for one thing. Electing the two most unholy and god-awful people that ever "served" a state at the same time in the United States Senate. Chinese Communist Mitch McConnell and "Aqua-Buddha" High Priest Rand Paul. Neither of these men have any morals or scruples except this. They intend to continue the raping of the poor and middle-class and redistribute what little of American wealth these folks are still allowed upward to themselves.

I have been silent so far on the firestorm started by Progress Kentucky with their remarks about Elaine Chao, former "anti"-Labor Secretary and wife of the Senator for Communist China Mitch McConnell. While I do not condone racism of any kind and normally do not believe that spouses of candidates should be included in some of the nastiness of campaigns I do believe in retrospect that a little bit of perspective about this so-called "racist" tweet would go a long way.

It is no secret that the Mad Doctor with the twisty curls Rand Paul wants to be President. It is also no secret that the now disgraced tea-bagger movement would love nothing more than to elect a radical zealot from their ranks to the White House to continue the destruction of our country wrought by the Corporate Republicans of the last Administration. However, what they really want to keep secret is just what their vision for this country will really be. That is why they are sugar-coating what a "libertarian-Republican" administration would really mean.

We have already seen how Rand Paul cares little about the plight of women anywhere in abusive relationships. We have examined how Rand Paul thinks its okay that women who work just as hard are paid less than men. Unfortunately for working men his ire is not directed just at women who work. You see, Rand Paul has a serious problem with any worker anywhere making decent wages and being able to negotiate to achieve the middle-class. Of course there is a really good reason for that. Rand Paul has been bought and paid for and it sure wasn't by the working people of Kentucky.

As I pointed out in this diary it is easy to see why Republicans have a problem with women. They simply do not care about the issues that are important to them. Forget the fact that Republicans do not believe they should make as much money as men it unfortunately goes much further than that. Republicans like my Senator, the Mad Doctor with the twisty curls Rand Paul do not even believe that women deserve protections against domestic violence, rape and stalking.

Mitch McConnell knows he may be a man in trouble. After four years of using the filibuster rules to obstruct moving our country forward after the failed policies of the George W. Bush years, policies he was instrumental in enacting he is sensing that Kentuckians are catching up with Americans in being sick and tired of his antics. Indeed, he is beginning his reelection bid earlier than ever because he knows one thing. We are tired of his brand of politics that would sacrifice most of the folks in our country at the reward of the very few, himself and his ilk.

Most Republicans are pretty amazing. They want low road employers to either outsource jobs or pay low wages with no benefits at the jobs they keep here. Republican CEOs are always looking for ways to make you work harder making them rich and refuse to share the profits with their employees. Then when the government does something like attempting to give their employees health insurance so the costs aren't passed on to other Americans they whine and try to gin up fear. Then when their actions come to light, they attempt to take away your first amendment rights.

Fresh off their humiliating defeat in the debate about what has really caused the problems that have beset our country Republicans just cannot give up on one thing. Using the debt they ran up with their failed wars, tax cuts for the very rich, deregulation that crashed the economy and three decades of trickle-down economics to convince Americans to allow them to steal the social safety net we try to enjoy. Indeed in their selfish little world they will blame everything but the real problem for our debt and deficits. Their own greed.

Around here we have become used to one thing down through the years. Anytime measures are presented that would save lives and help Americans as a whole Mitch McConnell will oppose them. It does not matter what the issue, legislation or idea. It simply does not matter to McConnell what happens or who dies, he is determined to make America a selfish land of violence, greed and death. Now today his march continues.
