Dear Senator McConnell:
If you were going for a record number of embarrassing statements in a short period of time, you succeeded. It's nice to know you can succeed at something, I guess, but you surely must know your success is a loss for the people you are supposed to represent. Not only have you shamed Kentucky, you embarrass the entire nation in front of the world.

McConnell did say again that Republicans “are prepared to do a grand bargain,” but only with “a serious president” — adding later that President Obama wasn’t serious about striking a serious deal during last year’s debt-ceiling negotiations.
Seriously, Senator McConnell, statements like this are making me wish I believed in hell (other than the one you are putting me through).
And, then, there's this:
Since you are billing yourself as "Leader" McConnell now instead of Senator McConnell, I am going to include this article, regarding disgusting behaviors exhibited by members of your party and ask why, as leader, you have said nothing about this. Montana GOP Convention Features Newt Gingrich, Guns And A Bullet Riddled ‘Obama Library’ Your silence "leads" me to believe that you condone this disgusting behavior, or that you are too weak to be a real leader.
Corporate Feelings Robert Reich nails your lack of morals and decency with, "Clearly, McConnell doesn’t want corporations to be forced to
disclose their political contributions because he and other Republicans
worry that some shareholders and consumers would react badly if they
knew – and thereby constrain such giving."
McConnell Makes the Case for Secret Donations Apparently, you not only misrepresent the first amendment, you also believe that your owners do not want to own the "speech" that they are pulling your strings to fight for? Does this resemble anything close to consistency to you?
"As far as the Senate Minority Leader is concerned, there's nothing wrong with wealthy interests buying American elections -- the real scandal is a proposal to let American voters know who's doing the buying."
I guess you must be the one person who truly does envy Mitt Romney and wanted a piece of the attention he is getting for flip flopping? Convenient about-face on disclosure If that's the case, you needn't embarrass yourself this way; your entire party is known for hypocrisy, duplicity, dishonesty, flip flopping, outright lying, and changing your story when you think it's convenient.
"Time after time in the 20 years after this commentary appeared in the Herald-Leader, McConnell reiterated his support for public disclosure of campaign contributions.
"Public disclosure of campaign contributions and spending should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate," he wrote in a 1997 column also published by the Herald-Leader."
Sen. McConnell: Political Donations Are Free Speech When you retire (ASAP, please) I hope you don't consider teaching or helping Texas rewrite text books.
McConnell Defends Koch Brothers And this is why I call you Ofkoch."Sunday was the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in — the opening act in a wide-ranging, White House scandal that was fueled by secret campaign money. Last week, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said it's time to roll back the Watergate-era requirement for public disclosure of campaign donors. He accused President Obama and liberals of trying to stifle the First Amendment rights of conservative donors.
“My own view has always been that if you can’t convince people of the wisdom of your policies, then you should come up with some better arguments,” he [McConnell]said.
