Conservative group says McConnell doing "nothing" to stop Obamacare...
Source: CBS News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is doing "nothing" to stop Obamacare, an influential conservative organization complained in a new TV ad, urging the Senate's top Republican to show "real leadership" by going to the mat in defunding the health care law.
"McConnell's the Republican leader, but he refuses to lead on defunding Obamacare," charged the ad from the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), a well-funded outside group pushing Republican senators to fall in line behind a strategy to undo the law.
"What good is a leader like that?" The ad asked. "It's nice that McConnell voted against Obamacare, but we need real leadership to stop it now."
The ad will air between September 6 and 17 on network and cable TV stations across Kentucky, and it is backed by a $340,000 ad buy, according to the group...

I bet if you look into this "well funded" so-called "conservative" group you will find that ooodles of the funding comes from Big Med, Inc. and Big Pharma, Inc. and anyone else who is making massive MoneyBucks off of sick Americans. That is so "conservative" and so f*cked up.

Maybe he could enlist Rand Paul as a political consultant make a few rousing speeches or do a really good filibuster and shut down the Senate. If all that fails he could try some character assination of his Democratic opponent in the upcoming Senate election. I think a little plastic surgery on the fat under his chin would help with his image.
All this advise is free of charge.

We'll Californiaize the beltway and neither the House nor Senate will have enough Republicans in them to stop business from being conducted for lack of a quorum or prevent any bill from coming to a vote. And you won't even be one of the ones left.
All the Kochs' money and all the Kochs' men won't put the Tea Party together again.

My question is, how did a group that's only been active since Obama's inauguration become "influential"?

If it works not only will it make democrats look better, but it will show republicans were wrong, and were really only doing this to spite the president and not actually help people. If the law is a success they will be in a deeper hole then they already are, and they will have no one to blame but themselves. How's that for personal responsibility?

A teabagger is like a deep fried turd or a caramel onion at a fair booth. It looks perfectly yummy. The cute girl with pigtails selling it says it's perfectly yummy. Only when you buy one and bite into it do you realize it's not what it seems.
