Jon Stewart takes on Stonewalling McConnell — for turning 9/11 Responder’s Health problems, into just another GOP bargaining chip. Mitch McConnell always holds out to the last minute before funding another few years of support for our nation’ Heroes — and then always in exchange for some GOP Agenda item — before he ultimately “lets” the GOP will do the right thing.
OK a few more years of “stop-gap” funding, as the toxicity of that Twin Towers site continues to take its toll.
But as Jon Stewart so rightly puts it, the funding should not even have an time limit — because there is “No expiration date on cancer” …
If Dems were smart they’d take that weaselly clip of Mitch McConnell playing dumb, and put it on endless loops in their campaign ads. String together all the times Mitch “played Poker” with 9/11 Responder’s Health, and run those clips in Kentucky nonstop, until McConnell’s cynical stinginess, forces him to take an early retirement from the public outcry.

Learn more about the grassroots effort to send Mitch McConnell packing, here from another DailyKos poster, who decided to take on the task of “Ditching Mitch” himself:
This time Mitch McConnell has reached his ‘sell-by date’. By routinely not bringing Bills up to the floor, for a Vote, or even a Debate — Mitch McConnell is making a mockery of the very Constitution, he sworn to uphold and defend.
Doing Nothing is Not Governing McConnell.
In other words, it is long past the time for Mitch McConnell to go. Anywhere, but here.
