MITCH MCCONNELL AND THE DEMOCRATS

Mitch McConnell, who I admit remains a real enigma to me, recently gave a speech calling the Democrats "Old Europe Democrats". Mitch's point seemed to be that Harry Reid and company want to ram through legislation that would turn the government into "Old Europe." Well, I think that has been going on for quite a while, but leaders like McConnell, who say they don't like a piece of legislation, then turn around and vote for it, sure don't help matters. McConnell really needs to get the Republican caucus in the Senate in order. Trent Lott has certainly been no help to McConnell, in fact he has been a big part of the problem. What I would really like to see from McConnell is less of the phony little speeches on the floor of the Senate, all prefaced with remarks about his good friend the Majority Leader, and more action to sock Harry Reid in the nose.
