(8,258 posts)It's an anagram, but the words have the same meaning. And Mitch is as vile and evil as they come, IMO.

(3,901 posts)"By rights, McConnell's tombstone should say that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I would add, he broke America. No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. His has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power."

(4,033 posts)I've lived in KY for over 20 years. I've voted against Turtle every time he's shown on the ballot and have never had a problem voting.
But here's the thing,
1. I live in a strongly GOP precinct so they don't bother trying to suppress my vote.
2. I sure as hell ain't wealthy.

(9,948 posts)He's always flanked by the same pack of sleazy Republican Senators; usually it's John Barrasso (R-Wyo) on one side and Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) on the other, with Little Susan Collins (R-Maine) trying to be noticed in the background. A veritable rogues gallery of corporate corruption.

Barrasso is one I had no clue about.
Thanks again.

(20,882 posts)There was always a rumor about why McConnell left the navy early and Graham is so closeted gay.
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)What IS the deal with Lindsey Graham? Why be closeted now, when it's acceptable? If he is.

(17,781 posts)in the most Russian, kleptocratic sense of the word. He and his compatriots are tired of the restraints of something as quaint as democracy putting the brakes on their ambitions. I mean seriously, one person one vote? We're all created equal? Come on. They want to be super rich. Super powerful and able to fuck over anyone they want, without anything like constitutional checks and balances. And without something as inconvenient as the rule of law. Laws are just for the little people. The proles. You know, the morons who believe their bullshit lies and keep voting them into office, against what anyone would consider good sense or better judgement.

In reality, Bob Dole, like Mitch McConnell, was an opponent of democracy. And his tactics were absolutely reprehensible.
