Major Garrett of National Journal scored an interesting interview with Mitch McConnell. Let's just say they aren't even PRETENDING to want to solve any of America's problems. Garrett made it perfectly clear that McConnell's one goal is to make Obama a one term President.

MCCONNELL: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, "Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job."
NATIONAL JOURNAL: What’s the job?
MCCONNELL: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
Scarborough's take:
This morning, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was floored by McConnell’s open admission that his single most important goal is to defeat Obama. "Mitch McConnell said that?!? ... He admitted that on the record?!? That is embarrassing," he said. "Can I just say for the record – that is pathetic."
Does this motivate you to GOTFV?
There is certainly a good reason for Mitchy to have this attitude. If many of the tea party darlings get in, there is no chance he can get a consensus on anything. Bad government will become tragic horrible government. He will be able to do NOTHING. And this after a term of "hell no." There is no pony here anywhere....for anybody.
