[Hoot Gibson]

McConnell is just as big a crook and as incompetent as the Democrat leaders...he even filibustered himself this week, lol!

Not true. What big scandal has McConnell been involved in that has been ignored by the media that is comparable to the smelly real estate deals that have involved both Reid and Pelosi? Has he ever urged people to vote for legislation without reading it, so that they can find out what is in it, the way Pelosi did with Obamacare? You may not like McConnell, but he has given the crooked Democrats an opportunity to vote on Obama's budgets and now his alleged plan to avoid the fiscal cliff and they have refused.

All Democrats need to do is propose bringing Obama's plan to the floor for a vote to prove McConnell wrong. Democrats do not want to go on record supporting actions that are going to put their even more of their own constituents out of work but they lack the integrity and courage to stand up to Obama.

McConnell has been absolutely right in his attempts to obstruct Obama's agenda, but he has been unsuccessful. Challenging Democrat Senators to go on the record supporting Obama's efforts to destroy our economy is about the only thing that Republicans can do in the Senate without controlling the majority of the seats. But somebody more articulate, such as Rubio, could at least use the position of Majority Leader to try to shape media and public opinion. That is McConnell's worst shortcoming, IMO.
