This is a welcome show of fire from McConnell. Conservatives seem to keep chasing their tails over philosophical purity and irrelevancies like what someone’s religion is, while Liberals are making off with the stuff that really matters, seats in Congress and the Presidency.
The only good thing about the last two elections will be if they taught Republicans something about staying together in enemy territory. They saw Bush’s polls and scattered like chickens instead of being willing to stand up and fight. They had control in both houses of Congress and gave it away by alienating their base by spending like Democrats. Now the Democrats are back in charge and they’re trying to win back the big spending crown!
I don’t know if Republicans will figure this out, but if they don’t start winning, we’re in for another “Era of Good Feeling” which is libspeak for free rein. But they’d better remember too that playing the pork barrel polka makes it a lot harder to tell them from the Democrats.
PS. If I might, can I suggest that PJM establish a rule against using the comments space for addressing other commenters instead of the main article? This squabbles between various parties in the comments section, make the whole thing unreadable and detract from the article. I know it’s expensive to have administrators, but I be willing put comments to a vote as to relevance, and remove them if they can’t meet some criterion of being responsive to the main article.
