I want to share with you a few comments from Mitch McConnell about his good buddy in arms against Progressive change, and what a constituent hear in Kentucky thinks about them. I hope you will read on:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., repeatedly declined today to say whether he thinks embattled Idaho Senator Larry Craig should resign, but he did call Craig's conduct in a Minneapolis bathroom "unforgivable."

Unforgivable??? Now, Mitch McConnell's complete and total lack of any kind of loyalty to his "friends" is not my concern, but after watching Mr. McConnell preach about his and the Republican Party he has built here in Kentucky's Christian values, I would like to remind Mr. McConnell that one of the predominate values taught by Christ was forgiveness. That is one that McConnell and his ilk never believe in until they are the ones that are caught!!
But that word, Unforgiveable??? Does "Boss" McConnell really want to talk about Unforgiveable? Unforgiveable is fighting your whole career against any kind of Campaign Finance Reform to keep the rich and powerful able to buy the system:

Unforgiveable is doing your best to assure that the Constitution is ripped to shreds and that American lose generations of Constitutional rights:

How can Mitch McConnell "Support our Troops", if he doesn't support the document they have fought to protect since the War of 1812?
Unforgiveable is constantly rubber-stamping failed policies of a failed President because you shared his failed ideology that has been proven wrong time after time:
"Now here we go again. Two days into this debate, and we’re already wasting time on an amendment we know the President will veto. The Webb Amendment contains many good things that Republicans strongly support. But it also limits the President’s authority as Commander in Chief, and combined with other objectionable provisions in this bill, it will provoke his veto.

Unforgiveable is a "leader" who lacks the courage to fight his own party when it is wrong, and puts ideology over the well-being of our troops.
"I welcome the news that Iraqi leaders have taken steps to reach consensus on issues critical to the stability and future governance of Iraq. In the past few weeks we’ve heard reports from Iraq that our brave troops are succeeding in providing the security that General Petraeus’ mission was designed to provide. Iraqi leaders must take this opportunity to make tough decisions like the ones they made yesterday."
Mitch, meeting three of eighteen benchmarks as our brave young men and women die is unforgiveable.
Unforgiveable is sending our troops to war with the other chickenhawks, and voting against our veterans:

COSPONSORS(5):
Unforgiveable is fighting against healthcare for the most precious among us:
"Unfortunately, I have serious concerns with the bill that the Finance Committee sent to the floor. I do appreciate all the hard work of the ranking member, Senator Grassley, as well as Senator Hatch, who is one of the original authors of this program. However, the committee’s bill is a dramatic departure from current SCHIP law: It will significantly raise taxes, increase spending, and lead to government-run health insurance.
"Funding for this proposed massive increase in spending relies not just on a massive tax increase, but also on a budgeting gimmick. Their plan will increase SCHIP spending every year for the next five years, with projected spending of $8.4 billion in 2012.
"Then suddenly in 2013, like magic, spending would drop to only $400 million—a decrease of $8 billion in one year. That’s not because the funds won’t be needed—rather, it’s a sleight of hand needed to fit the program within the bill’s funding limits.

So Mitch McConnell rubber-stamped a blank check for President Bush for what will be well over a trillion dollars for a failed policy and a failed ideology but he is crying because taxes will be raised on the least patriotic among us, the ones who recieved huge tax cuts in a time of war that they keep going against the will of the American people, to provide $8.4 billion to insure healthcare for all children? CHILDREN??? That is unforgiveable.
Mitch McConnell can try and stake out his moral high groud all he wants. The fact of the matter is that Mitch McConnell has no right whatsoever to critisize his old buddy Larry Craig, because they are both the same thing. HYPOCRITES!!!!!
