Last Straw, Senator McConnell

Senator McConnell:

Yesterday, after seeing this video, I was too angry to write.



How can you live with yourself after lying like that? President Obama owned the congress? Are you insane, or just the worst, hypocritical liar on earth? You, Senator McConnell, took this country hostage with your record number of filibusters. Yours is the party that keeps talking about personal responsibility yet I haven't met anyone in your party who actually does that or calls on you to do that. You are all hypocrites.

Today, I'm too angry not to write. You voted against protecting 400,000 jobs for teachers and first responders. You can never again pretend to care about jobs or about this country and the people in it. You have proven, beyond all doubt, that you care about none of those. You are a heartless, selfish, hypocritical liar - at best. We, THE American People deserve better.



Since all polls show that a large majority of THE American People support the American Jobs Act, and you are bound to know by now that your party has lost what little support you had, I have to wonder what you have planned. Surely, you aren't going to roll over so you must think something is going to happen to protect your party. What is it? Think you have suppressed enough votes? Rigged enough voting machines? Ready to call out your militias (I've kept a close eye on the Patriot [sic] and militia pages.) Something else? I don't expect an honest answer, just asking rhetorical questions so other readers will consider the possibilities.

And, then, you failed to thank President Obama for making wise decisions regarding Lybia. Add childish to the list of disgusting traits I attribute to you.

In case you haven't noticed, this country is awake now. Young people started the most wonderful movement and now they and others of all ages and stations in life are in the streets. We've had more than enough of your games and hostage taking and blackmailing. I am advising everyone to seek legal council and press charges against you and the Republican Party for endangering our lives. You might think you are protected but times - they are a changin'. People are ready to think outside the box, and to refuse to take NO for an answer, in which case, you have nothing left to say.

More disgusted with you than I've ever been,


Sandy

Pass This Bill!

(Nothing dear about you*) Senator (in name only) McConnell:

I know I am wasting my time. You have demonstrated that you care nothing about this country or the people in it. You've stated repeatedly that your only goal is to hurt President Obama, regardless of the consequences to this country. You have failed to do your job, failed to listen to the people who have called, written, tweeted, and approached you on Facebook. You have done nothing but ignore and hurt us.

Still, I respect my President and will continue to do as he asks. I am writing today to let you know that I am disappointed and disgusted with your childish, destructive filibuster of the American Jobs Act. Once again, you embarrass all sane, rational, informed people of Kentucky. I ask you (knowing that it means nothing) to reverse your destructive behavior, to stop hurting the country and its citizens, and to stop embarrassing my state.

Sandy



*Calling on everyone to stop dishonest practices

Calling all Occupiers

“They’re on their iPhone made by Apple incorporated, they’re wearing designer jeans their parents bought for them, that’s the kind of stuff I’m annoyed with when they say corporations are evil – corporations are businesses.” Rand Paul

Will everyone who wore designer jeans to an Occupy event, and told Rand Paul our announced publicly  that their parents purchased their jeans please contact me. 

If I don't hear from anyone, I will assume he is talking out his ass, as usual.

Think their parents bought their designer jeans? 

Pass This Bill!

Senator McConnell,

I saw you crack a smile this morning as you tried to sell a line of bull on the Senate floor. Truth is, I know that you know that we all know it was a line of bull. You employed the crazy Turdblossom Politics again, where your party tries to accuse others of doing what you do. It's old, it doesn't work, and it's tiresome.

Since you weren't present to hear President Obama's speech today, I'm bringing it to you.



Please, stop the theatrics Pass President Obama's American Jobs Bill. Put people back to work repairing our bridges. 

Sandy

Cease and Desist, Senator McConnell

Dear Senator McConnell:

I’m back, Senator McConnell. The brain hemorrhage has healed and I have been cleared by the neurologist and cardiologist. Thanks to Medicare but much to the disappointment of your party, I am still alive and ready to address a few statements you made recently.

“The specifics we got yesterday (on the Obama proposal) only reinforce the impression that this was largely a political exercise,” McConnell said.

In case you have forgotten, Senator McConnell, you are a politician. Your job is politics. President Obama is a politician and his job is politics. You have demonstrated, repeatedly, that you do not intend to do your job and that your only intention is to see that President Obama has as hard a time as you can give him in doing his. He, on the other hand, has shown us that he is tireless, that he is respectful, that he cares about this country and this world, and that he refuses to let you keep him from doing everything he possibly can to do the best job for us despite your obstruction and your disgusting practice of taking this country hostage.

“For one, they undermine the president’s claim that it’s a bipartisan proposal -- because much of what he’s proposing has already been rejected on a bipartisan basis.” (More of your drivel.)

This is pure hogwash and you know it. Once again, I remind you that although your supporters may care absolutely nothing about honesty or facts, many of your constituents do care very much about both. I resent your constant misrepresentation of President Obama and of THE American people, and I resent your assumption that you can stand on the floor of the Senate and lie while representing me. That is not okay and I demand that you stop, immediately.

“The president knows raising taxes is the last thing you want to do to spur job creation,” McConnell said. “He’s said so himself. Yet that’s basically all he’s proposing here: temporary stimulus to be paid for later by permanent tax hikes, so that when the dust clears, and the economy is no better off than it was after the first stimulus, folks find themselves with an even bigger tax bill than today.”

The dust has cleared now on the false claims your party made that tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy would create jobs (in this country). Not only has the dust cleared, jobs have cleared out of this country into others, and you have totally redistributed the wealth of this country into the hands of a few people. Do you plan to admit and address this? Why, since your plan did not work, would you be opposed to trying President Obama’s plan? Is there any reason other than you want to see President Obama fail? And, would you please explain exactly why you want President Obama to fail, since his failure would harm this country? We, the citizens of Kentucky, deserve complete, honest answers to these questions, immediately.

The President does NOT know that raising taxes is the last thing we want to do to spur job creation although he probably knows it is the last thing you want to do, regardless of the devastating results your obstructing his plea to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire has had on this country. Again, you misrepresent allowing tax breaks to expire as a “permanent tax hike.” And now you shamefully state in public what you hope some fool will believe President Obama knows? Have you paid attention to anything he has said?

Now that I have watched you shirk your duties, I’ve rethought my criticism of those in your party who made childish statements regarding President Clinton being “our employee” and the White House belonging “to us.” Unlike your party, I do not believe I have any right to demand that you do nothing but work (with no under-the-desk multi-tasking) twenty-four hours of every day that you are in office. I do, however, believe that every citizen in this country (particularly those of us who live in Kentucky) has a right to expect you to listen to your President, know his positions, and speak honestly when talking about him and/or his positions. We have a right to expect you to read bills and comprehend them, and to seek assistance from honest, intelligent people when you are unable to comprehend them. We have a right to demand that you never again misrepresent a bill that your President or anyone in his party puts before you, or to lie when representing We the People. That is the job we pay you to do. If you are not capable, it is your civic and moral responsibility to resign.

Once again, I demand that every word you speak while representing me be honest. I will simply dislike you very much if you state honestly that you choose to be a partisan hack, and admit that you hate President Obama more than you care about this country. If you continue to lie while representing me, I will beef up my search for legal representation to serve you with a cease and desist order.

More sincere than you can possibly imagine,

Sandy

Quotes from Washington Post article, Hoyer, McConnell spar over Obama jobs proposal

By Felicia Sonmez

Letter to Senator McConnell from Betty

Dear Senator McConnell:

I urge you to support President Obama's jobs bill. You need look no further than the Sherman Minton bridge over the Ohio River to understand the serious nature of problems with our infrastructure. This can be multiplied many times over throughout the nation. I have read your floor statement and I do not agree with you that this is being done as a campaign issue. It is an issue that affects people all over the United States who need jobs and essential services. I urge you to put politics aside and work with President Obama to pass the American Jobs Act as soon as possible. Thank you.
