Mitch McConnell Took 48 Hours To Fold

I hope the Tea Party listened to Mitch "tiptoe" around raising the National Debt limit (which he will and he calls "discretionary spending" in the video below), and deflect all of your scathing criticism of Republicans.  Less than 2 days after the election, and Mitch is dismissing that it had anything with Republicans.  I guess he missed Delaware, Kentucky, Nevada, and the rest??  Was he ever watching the elections?  Please watch for a similar "lowering expectations" style speech from Boehner soon.

Mitch is at the link here:  Mitch at the Heritage Foundation, 11-4-10.

I have been harping on the National Debt issue for years, way before Dick Cheney said "Deficits don't matter" on every talk show he could find, in 2004. Do a search for it, if you doubt it, I was watching it closely back then. Was Dick right or wrong??

Well, seems Mitch must have napped through all the calls to C-Span from Tea Party members saying "We are watching you", to the Republicans.  I hope you (and I am talking to you Tea Party) rise up when Republicans raise the Debt Ceiling, just to give their big business buddies tax breaks.  That is what is most important to them, and you will see that if you watch closely.  We here in the middle get to pay for their Jaguars and Mansions, again and again.  They won't cut anything either, and anything that does get cut, they will blame on Democrats somehow.

They think (the Pubs) that they played everyone into a lather, and won.  Now they think they can cool off the Tea Party and get them to (again) bend over and take it for big business' bottom line. Hey, you never got a paycheck from a poor person, right?  Please don't get fooled again, and pay close attention to what Congress actually does, not the lies they tell you during campaigns.  Call them on the carpet in town halls, and contact them often.  Let them know what you think of what they voted on each day.  I do.

Look around you, see all the small businesses that folded before, or right after, Obama got sworn in?  Were those Obama's fault?  Seriously, were they?  No, they were not.  Small business' don't fold after a few bad quarters, it was a sustained effort that started after 2004.  Middle class wages flat-lined (or fell), and companies accelerated shipping jobs to South America and Asia.

Well, you guys need to watch this stuff as close as the others are, so we can all pounce on the bad ones together in 2012.
