Mitch McConnell gets nearly $3 billion

Mitch McConnell gets nearly $3 billion for Kentucky dam project in congressional deal

By Eric Pfeiffer, Yahoo News

Quote
Most experts agree that there were no real winners in the government shutdown debate. And many political forecasters say the brunt of fallout from the debate over the shutdown and the debt ceiling is likely to hurt Republican lawmakers.

However, the nation’s leading Republican senator came out of the deal far from empty handed. That’s because it’s been reported that Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell secured language in the new government funding bill that includes nearly $3 billion for a dam project in his home state of Kentucky.

Yahoo News

Well, this is interesting in the light of the deal that just got slammed down Republican's throats. . .

One more reason for the TEA Party to join with the Libertarians.

Now, when Republican operatives call me asking for more money, I just tell them that I'm going to vote Libertarian. I haven't left the party, the party left me (where have I heard that before?).

I went back and read more history about the Whig Party, and even though the issues were different then, the circumstances were remarkably similar. And the Whigs actually elected a couple of Presidents as a result!

It seems the Dems keep going further to the left, wanting more and more control over everything and the Repubs are following right along.  It's getting to the point where Tea Party is the only viable option for those that just want to be left the hell alone.

So Mitch McConnell of 'Kentucky kickback' fame, is now a full out DEMOCRAT in a republican costume.

He has no shame and we have even less republicans than I originally thought in the senate.


What a hack.
