In large letters, you see "Mitch McConnell." Below that, a sign with even larger letters: "FOR SALE

The National Association of Realtors Congressional Fund probably didn't do Sen. Mitch McConnell any favors with their recent mailing on his behalf.

The 8.5 x 11 inch glossy mailer that hit doorsteps recently paints the Senate minority leader in an oh-not-so-good light, if you don't read the smaller letters.

In large letters, you see "Mitch McConnell."

Below that, a sign with even larger letters: "FOR SALE."

The National Association of Realtors has sent out at least four pieces of mail for Mitch in the past couple of months.

My father immediately called his friend who is a realtor, and yelled at him (jokingly) about the National Association of Realtors. His friend is a Democrat and they were laughing about this flyer.

For sale to anyone....

They are supposed to represent us. Conservatives fucked up my business. NAR can't see that? They always get behind repugs.
