McConnell at CPAC: Repeal Obamacare “root and branch”

He also noted that the Dem ticket in 2016 is "shaping up to look like a rerun of 'The Golden Girls'"

BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD

Showcasing a tall stack of papers that he said was the text of the Affordable Care Act, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told CPAC that “Obamacare should be repealed root and branch.”

He noted in the course of his speech that the Affordable Care Act only passed by one vote, with all Senate Republicans voting against it. “We’ll fight [Obamacare] and every other assault on liberty that the left throws at us, and restore the American ideal,” he said.

McConnell also criticized the media for covering internal Republican squabbles, saying “they love it when we take shots at each other. It gets more coverage than a D.C. snowstorm. But unity is strength.” He added: “We need all the constitutional conservatives we can get to fight the left.”

He continued that Democrats claim to be the party of the young and the party of the future, but “don’t tell me the Democrats are the party of the future when their ticket for 2016 is shaping up to look like a rerun of ‘The Golden Girls.’” Republicans have Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, he said, “the other guys, they’ve got Hillary and Joe Biden.”

“Here’s the dirty little secret about liberalism: It can’t last, it can’t work,” McConnell said.

1. Yes, because God knows this country needs more...

...dipshit mysoginy in our national leadership versus wisdom and experience.

Yeah Mitch - that's a real good idea.

Can't wait to hear your CPAC addresses in a couple years when you're introduced as the former Senator from the great state of Kentucky. One can only hope, eh?

2. too funny

he needs to buy a new joke book

[33Greeper]

3. Ashley Judd

is hardly a Golden Girl. LOL! Good luck in 2014, Turtle Boy!

[Arkana]

4. And yet they'll still be wittier than anything your party puts up, Turtleface.

5. Biden was born the same years as McConnell, and Hillary was born earlier than that.

And McConnell's party has on multiple occasions run the older candidate. Remember Bob Dole in 1996 and John McCain in 2008? It's a trifle hypocritical to embrace ageism at this date, but then there was massive hypocrisy at CPAC, including Donald Trump crying crocodile tears for U.S. jobs lost to China (Check where his own clothing line is made, folks).

7. One thing these speakers know is that those who follow

them are dumber than a box of rocks.

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. Let's not forget St. Reagan

70 when he was inaugurated and pushing 80 by the end.

[Cha]

6. He did not just go there.

Keep digging mitch.. you'll bury your own political future.

[Still Waters]

8. If Paul Ryan runs, it will be a rerun of The Munsters

and Mitchie Poo can be Cousin It.

[CBHagman]

12. No, the minority leader is more like Lord Voldemort...

...capable of unfathomable and apparently inexplicable evil, and missing a body part.

With Voldemort, it's the nose; with McConnell, the chin.

9. If Hillary is a Golden Girl at age 65

Then McTurle is a Galápagos tortoise at age 71

[BlueStater]

10. If Rand and Boobio are their future, they're in deep shit. N/T

[warrior1]

11. I'll bet he thought it was funny

[NPolitics1979]

13. Mitch is exactly 9 months older than Joe B.

Mitch is 5 years, 8 months, 6 days olders than Hillary.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. People probably have fonder memories of the Golden Girls than they do of Mitch

He would NEVER win a popularity contest with Ashley Judd either!

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Good move, dude. Insult old white people.

alienate one of your last demographics.
